The cop should be quarantined for up to 7 days and checked for rabies. Any violations of the law (like not having his nuts cutoff without paying the special tax to keep them) should be noted and he should be charged. While in quarantine he should be shoved in a cage not much bigger than him and fed crappy processed garbage and taken out only to pee and crap.

One of the most important issues of a missing person is time. The youngster needs to be found as quickly as possible, nothing can get in the way. It is an emergency situation.
As in the case of Jessica Lunsford......known drug addicts were living in her neighborhood, when she went missing all the cops did was ask those people if the knew anything! They didn't once search the trailer where they would have found the girl alive.
This PO shoots a barking dog in a fenced area,wonder what gave him the idea the child might be on that property? Sounds strange for an officer to kill anything in site looking for a missing child, then to find out that the child was found at home............ I find this PO actions.
Someone needs to wander into the K9 kennel uninvited, then feel his life is in danger and shoot one of their beloved dogs in the head. You bet they'd press charges. They'd probably get a good beating and tazing in as well.
The highly overpaid police chief was all over the TV the other day whining about all the bad press and reaction this getting. He came out looking bad over this incident as well. Gotta protect their own and not cross that blue line.
the youngster needs to be found as quickly as possible and there needs to be a procedure.
There is a procedure. That is to search the home of the child FIRST. And that has been procedure for decades.
Geeze! Do some of you rationalize much? This situation neither had exigent circumstances nor was it a hot pursuit.
If a witness reported to the cops that they had seen the child go into that back yard then you might have exigent circumstances. It the cop were to chase a suspect into the back yard then you have hot pursuit.
The Amanda Berry situation in Ohio had exigent circumstances. This situation did not.
One poster wrote something about the dog owner being irresponsible for leaving HIS dog in HIS fenced and gated back yard while he was away. Seriously? I guess since dogs bite people it should be illegal to own dogs.
The owner is very lucky he wasn't arrested for carrying on the way he did. I can undersstand his grief, really I can, and it is very sad....but he is very lucky they didn't taze him for how he spoke to them.

"taze him for the way he spoke to them"
Cops aren't mommies and daddies who can whip your a** for misbehaving. If they pull that tazer, they better feel that they are in danger. That is the purpose for their tazer, NOT to "punish" someone who spoke to them in a way they didn't like.
Unfortunately, too many of these scum cops think they are lords and can taze someone for whatever reason they want.
As someone else said, they { cops } are public servants, they serve US, which means they are to lick OUR boots, NOT the other way around.
Maybe not for spite, but let's be real dogs do kill for purpose of eating, dominance or good ole dog fighting. Dogs don't think with emotion, people do!
That is one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. You obviously aren't a dog owner or you'd know just how wrong you are. Dogs and other animals think with every bit as much emotion as any human. They feel happiness, they feel sadness, they experience things like fear and anxiety, they get mad, they get jealous, they have individual personalities.... etc.
you are delusional, dogs will bite, maul and kill, period. A dog is an animal, period...an animal doesn't think, it automatically responds to someone being on it's property....
Unless to use your term "delusional" you're an animal, don't you think? You share common anatomy with every other mammal on the planet, if you "think" is it reasonable to consider that your species is special and is the only one that does? Do some research, look at the adapted MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory testing they're doing on various species, you might be surprised.
Do you exhibit automatic responses to stimuli? Sure you have, you've picked up the phone by accident when you didn't really want to answer it. You've found yourself in the bathroom even though you did not need it, or opening the fridge when you did not want something and can't for the life of you figure out why you were there in the first place. They're all evidence you're executing an automated response.
If we judge all animals by their worst behavior, dogs have got nothing on humans, dogs did not light the Circus Maximus with human candles, dogs did not create series of judicial tests that resulted in the death of those so judged to posthumously assign guilt or innocence, they have never systematically tried to exterminate entire races of other dogs, subjugate other races of dogs, and never systematically tried to exterminate entire species, or even attacked other packs of dogs over ideological differences (you know they don't think at all or think like we do, lets go kill them which is remarkably similar to something I recently read, where could that have been).
Nope on the dangerous species list dogs are not even a close second to their owners.

Sure he was illegally on the property, did he have a warrant? Did he have the owners permission? If neither then it was trespass plain and simple.
If the dog had chewed through the fence or dug underneath it, then it would not have been in the yard to shoot. Moreover if irresponsibility is license to shoot dangerous creatures owned by said irresponsible person, then there are a large number of kids who are fair game.

Oh really? Wow, he was out of line because he complained his dog had been shot for no reason, look if a cop is so afraid of a dog that he shoots it at 20 feet he has no value as a cop, how is he going to respond to some 6' tall guy pointing a gun at him, pee his pants and start crying? If he wasn't afraid then there was no purpose to what he did, and it's unjustified.
Because the rest of us don't HAVE to enter other people's property without their permission. The rest of us don't HAVE to approach the dog's owner in a manner that the owner or dog might perceive as threatening. If we are concerned a dog might attack us we can just walk away - the police can't.
Actually, he could have just walked away. Instead, he chose to kill the dog. There is no excuse for that kind of sadistic behavior.
