Expectant mother Jessica Cabrera now has a new reason to hate Mondays. Two weeks ago, the gate to her backyard in Sun Valley, Calif. was somehow left open, and her dogs got out. The dogs, being dogs, enjoyed the freedom of not being “gated” but quickly came back to their home. Cabrera’s 4-year-old mixed Pit bull Drake, probably should have stayed away. Drake was shot in the head by the LAPD before his owners even knew the gate was open.

Just another disgusting story about use of excessive force by a police department. Daily headlines being made. I'd be more open minded to listen to the police versions of incidents like this if there were civilian board reviews of every police shooting. Instead they are reviewed by their own union.....guess we know why there is rarely a finding of police fault; whether the victim is animal or human.
We are now being policed by a paramilitary organization. "Serve and Protect" is a joke these days.

If that pitbull had mauled someone's child to death people would be saying why did they allow it to run loose. Pitbulls are dangerous. Period. If people insist on owning them, then it's up to them to ensure they don't get out or loose for the safety of others. I would prefer a dead pitbull to a dead human. It's the owners fault for not keeping us and the dog safe by making sure they could not get out. The owners think it's okay if their carelessness causes someone else to be mauled to death, but if their carelessness causes their pet to be killed then they get all upset.

Yep dont these people have to pass a mental evaluation before becoming a police officer or are they just letting anyone on the force now ? it makes me sick that we have nut cases for police officers . Yep I would be more afraid of the police than I would a pitbull ...I hope this poor woman sues them for all they are worth .

Here's your clue:

the gate to her backyard in Sun Valley, Calif. was somehow left open,

The gate didn't open by itself. It's unlikely the dog opened it.

I have ZERO use for people who aren't responsible pet owners. Sad for the dog that he didn't have better owners. My response has nothing to do with the breed. I trust a pittie more than a nasty ankle-biting chiwawa.

Exactly, she was an irresponsible pet owner and it got her pet killed.
