Off duty LEO shoots dog in MD
Let me start off saying that I'm not anti-LEO at all but rather I'm anti-Maryland concealed carry "law" which says in part I cannot have a CCW permit but all LEOs (active or retired) are eligible.
Even this guy. BTW, my dog played with this same husky in this very dog run earlier on Monday. I wasn't there but I'm leaning towards the idea that the cop was pissed his German Shepard was being attacked and he fired.
At least it wasn't a snowball or motorcyclist driving like an idiot.
I gotta move.

More of the story.
I was doing sprints around the 'hood today and noticed a news truck at the dog park. I told my fam to watch the news because they were at the dog park. Apparently this story is all over the internets.

Turn around on the issue.

I assume you are aware of Md's position on citizens and CCA. They are being sued on the issue at the moment.

Another reason not to frequent dog parks. Around here (FBNC) "federal officer" usually means some form of rent-a-cop guarding the gate or equivalent LEO doing traffic enforcement. In either event - not the brightest bulbs in the box.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

How many of those "rent-a-cops" are veterans? How many of them are retired military and just wanted something to do other than push pencils somewhere to supplement their retirement income? What would be an "equivalent LEO" doing traffic enforcement to a "rent-a-cop gate guard"? And what does either have to do with ones level of intelligence? I am sure we have all met some "dim bulbs" in any occupation.
As for this young officer, from reading the available information, it would appear he made a flawed judgement call. He may not be charged criminally, but I would bet he could be found liable in Civil Court.

Negative, BB, wasn't aware. I'm definitely going to check that out.

If you live in Maryland and have a dog, you definitely need to be armed at all times to prevent the police from killing it.
There is a thread here concerning the CCA lawsuit

Don't waste your time reading all of the ranting and frothing at the mouth. Just get what you need to know and move on.
