Dog Dies After Being Shot by CHP Officer Doing a Welfare Check

On Monday, July 24, a California Highway Patrol Officer shot Chloe, a 6-year-old American Bulldog, on a dead end road beside her owner’s parked car. “We have collected evidence that it was a pretty aggressive action on the part of the dog [that instigated the shooting],” explained CHP Sgt. Martin Abshire.

That day, Lillie Wood, the dog’s owner made a fateful decision. She took the Stafford exit off Hwy 101 south of Rio Dell and turned right onto the quiet dead end road where said she often stopped to let her dog out.

There she opened the back door so Chloe, her American Bulldog could get in and out of the back seat. Chloe had been adopted by Wood in December of 2014 from the Santa Barbara Animal Shelter.

Meanwhile, Wood returned and sat behind the steering wheel of her car and closed her door. Wood, who has no permanent address at the moment, said she looked terrible because she’d recently “been jumped by two girls” in Rio Dell.

While she was parked, she said a man drove up and asked if she was okay. She told him she was fine.

According to Wood, she was told later that he called to request law enforcement do a welfare check on her.

About 4:30 p.m., a California Highway Patrol officer drove up and parked behind Wood’s car. Wood said she did not hear it. Chloe, however, must have because, according to Wood, she “stepped out” and began barking.

“I open the door,” Wood said. “By the time I turn around, he’s shooting her.  I heard a series of shots…I’m standing behind the open back door. I see my dog on the ground…She’s bloody….She has a protrusion on the back of her spine like a bullet went through the top.” Wood said that Chloe was wailing.

Wood said that the officer asked something like, “Ma’am, are you hit? Are you okay?”

According to Wood, at that point, she begged the officer to kill Chloe to put her out of her suffering.

The dog began dragging herself to Wood’s car. “Chloe makes it to safety,” Wood said. She managed to get her front half into the vehicle but collapsed partially in and out.

Wood said the officer told her to put Chloe inside and close the door.

“I can’t. My dog is bleeding,” she said she replied.

“Ma’am, shut the door,” Wood said the officer told her.

Eventually, Wood got her wounded, 100-pound dog into the car and closed the door at the officer’s request.

“I’m throwing up and freaking out,” she explained. “She has never bit anyone. She’s a family dog. She’s the most amazing dog ever. I trust her with kids, kittens, whatever…She was probably wagging her tail while she was barking [at the officer.]”

According to Wood, the officer started walking around her car. She said he discovered that he had shot the open passenger door which was behind where she sat in the driver’s seat.

“He shot the open door and it ricochetted through the car and knocked out the passenger side rear window,” she said. “The bullet had to go through the car.”

“Ma’am, I’m going to get your dog to vet,” Wood said the officer told her. “He [was] calling and calling and calling,” she said.

Wood said the officer told her that they couldn’t take Chloe to the vet because once he fired off his weapon, neither of them can leave.

At this point, Wood believed that Chloe would be okay if they could get her to a vet. “I thought she was going to live,” she explained. “She was still breathing.”

Though other officers and medical personnel arrive, Wood said, they have to wait because they want to put Chloe in a vehicle with a partition.

“They had to get a caged car,” she said. “They won’t go near the dog. They make me move her…She’s panting frantically.”

But Wood said, Chloe “never acted aggressively” towards the officers

According to scanner traffic, at a little after 5 p.m. Chloe is on her way to the Sunnybrae vet’s office.

“They take her to Arcata only to call me and tell me that she isn’t going to make it,” Wood said.

According to Wood, she learned the officer fired seven shots. Six of the bullet casings were recovered at the time, she said. Later, she said she discovered one in her vehicle.

What started out as an attempt to help an injured woman went tragically awry, said Wood. “This wasn’t a criminal stop. I was fine until they showed up.”

Chloe

Chloe’s photo in December of 2014 as volunteers from the Santa Barbara Animal Shelter sought the right family for her.

Now she is left without her beloved pet and with expensive bills.

“I’m 37,” said Wood. “I don’t have any kids. [Chloe] was my best friend….Who is going to pay for my vet bill and my window?

On the other hand, said CHP Sgt Martin Abshire, “This [situation] is something officers hope to avoid our entire careers.” He said this is a tragedy for Wood and for the officer. An investigator is looking into the shooting, he explained. “Let the objective fact finders find the facts and then we’ll weigh this against the policies [to determine whether there was any wrongdoing on the officer’s or on the dog owner’s part.]”

Though as he stated earlier, “We have collected evidence that it was a pretty aggressive action on the part of the dog.”

After the investigation, he said, there will be a determination on who is financially responsible for the car and the window as well as if there is any other action needing to be taken.

The idea of what “aggression” is in a dog is obviously subjective. Because the dog barked and was a 100lb bulldog, it was killed. What if it was a 10lb yorkie barking? Would the same thing have happened? Just disgusting. Ms. Wood, if you set up a funding account to pay for the vet’s bills, I would contribute.

No mater what your personal feeling are about this tragedy all people reading this story need to scroll down and read what “Ftp”, has to say about a situation he had with this same CHP officer. How many other questionable situations has this officer been involved in before. Seems he might have some personal issues involved. It sounds like he has anger issues also. Hopefully an impartial investigation will bring out all the truth. We need to have public servants we can trust and rely on, not some trigger happy self involved fool. This seems to be a pattern with him.

*Lillie, I’m truly sorry for your loss. I hope the memories and good times you had with “Chole”, will be your focus to help you get through this very difficult and trying time.

I stand corrected. Maybe we have more than one CHP officer that is abusing his power or isn’t able to rationally think fast or under pressure. I had three police officers in my family and I believe their weapons were used as there last line of defense after all other options were exhausted.

This is a very disturbing story. As usual we have very few facts, and none of us were present.

I am shocked by the circumstances of the woman whose dog was destroyed. It appears this person was attacked herself, and is living in a vehicle.

I am not able to accept that a member of the professional law enforcement community would kill an animal for no reason. My respect for the CHP outweighs all other possibilities.

I hope this community rises to help the person who has lost her situation, her health, and now her companion.

I don’t see a single comment written about the president.

Get your head out of the sand & see the facts the officer overreacted as always the cops think of ONE THING if there is even the slightest possibility of ANY aggression whatsoever , then start firing as many rounds as you can possibly shoot!!! Then ask questions!!! I think police officers should have to go through a NON firing your weapon training to avoid S(H)ituations such as this & the one a week or so ago when the HCSO shot up a Night Watchman!!! Too many ties officers think SHOOT FIRST then &ONLY then investigate!!!!

Aggreeing with Dan. I can’t believe the officer had no nonlethal means of dealing with a girl and her dog! As another comment mentioned, he could retreat to his police vehicle and use loudspeaker to ask her to restrain the dog. It is likely he also had nonlethal beanbag or rubber bullet ammo. And certainly a simple warning shot would sort out whether the dog is aggressive or not. My Shepherd puts on a good bark which is part of guarding. But she is very gentle and a big coward and would run from noise of a shot. That dog was simply barking at what appeared to be, and apparently was a true threat. There is too much military style training in U.S. police departments. Check out this link for police in Spain making a creative takedown of a truly threatening individual.

They got creative on the spot. And obviously they are trained to go non-lethal first. Its all in training and attitude towards the citizenry.

Thank you. Creative thoughtful solutions can, and do, save lives. None of us were there, but even if the dog had been a threat, a warning shot, or, at most, a single disabling shot, should be more than enough. But, seven shots? Really?

You’re right Ethne. It was murder. Whether the dog was aggressive or not. Did the officer ever ask her to restrain her dog or just shoot first? Seven shots for 1 dog?!?!! Excessive! He could have hit her instead of “protecting” her.

I have read most but not all of the comments posted thus far. Yours is perhaps the only one that expresses the need to learn more about this situation. Instead the vast majority of the commentators are ready to execute the officer based only the info presented here. I am reminded of the recent episode at Centerville Beach where a severely disturbed woman was trying to exorcise her child. The initial report stated 10-12 bystanders did just that. Stand by. Do nothing. The truth of the matter was those people were family members of the man intervening. The amount of malice and hatred against those “bystanders” was unbelievable. I should never want any of those folks, nor these as my jury.

Shooting a dog that barks is NOT going over well, and there can be NO justification in FIRING WILDLY to stop a barking dog! This [edit] was scared, and SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO WORK IN THIS FIELD AGAIN….NEVER! STOP BOWING DOWN TO THESE TERRORISTS! How many people, pets need to be SHOT DEAD BEFORE THE PEOPLE FINALLY RISE UP AND PUT AN END TO THIS INSANITY?

Sheep love this, they never get enough abuse or terror by employee police, this is why these gons get away with so much! PROSECUTE and IMPRISONMENT is ONE solution, SHOOTING BACK IS OURS!

WE ARE THE MASTER, the EMPLOYER, and NOWHERE in the constitution does it grant rights, power, authority or ANYTHING to EMPLOYEES…NOT ONE WORD!

Employees get their jobs by APPLYING FOR THEM, NONE are given elected positions by a vote…so legally, NO EMPLOYEE CAN HOLD ANY AUTHORITY ABOVE US! HIRED HELP will NEVER have legal powers! Sheep allow this, and continue to bow down to acts like this…NO MORE!!

If you’re “not able to accept that a member of the professional law enforcement community would kill an animal for no reason”, get your head out of the sand! Cops kill dogs in this country every 9 minutes: that’s a FACT. Police in other countries around the world are shocked by the callousness of our law enforcement toward family pets, including cats (yes, they kill cats). I STRONGLY urge you to google the subject and see what pops up. If you don’t believe it, you’re in for a rude awakening. Watch the videos. They’ll make you sick. I’ll even give you a hint at a great one that sickened a lot of LEOs- Rosie the Newfoundland, whose murderers in Washington State got away with it through a series of postponements in their court case, although the city was eventually found liable in a civil case. They literally chased her out of her yard, hunted her through the streets, before cornering her in a yard…….. The do the cats and find out about the kittens clubbed to death, or a senior cat killed while lying by a pool, etc. Amazing that people simply take their word for it at all. This is why people like me, who are animal lovers, NEVER take the word of a cop when we know the pat stories and excuses they give verbatim.

Then you are naive Victor. Last I checked, police officers are human and while very capable of doing great things, they are also capable of making mistakes. A failure to acknowledge the mistakes makes life worse for all of them. It puts a huge strain on the public’s perception of police and, in my opinion, makes life more dangerous for all of them. As the wife of an officer I’m tired of it. I’m tired of peoples’ pets being killed and I’m tired of the negative light it shines on officers like my husband. I for one would not have let my dog wander without keeping a close eye on her, but I wasn’t there. I can only say that I have no doubt there were other options available besides firing multiple shots at that dog and putting the woman’s life in jeopardy as well.

In this particular case (although I’m usually on the side of the LE), I think the CHP Officer was at fault. He jumped too soon to conclusions and started shooting and where is his training on a handgun. That many shots???? I think he needs to go back to the Academy and to spend lots more time on the firing range. CHP should pay for all of the expenses and also to help the Young Lady to find another companion. I think that this was WAY OVER THE TOP.

I have a pit bull. He is sweet with cats, children and other dogs. He barks when people pull in the driveway, with his tail wagging. That is his job- to alert me. He would run at a loud sound and come find me because he is very non-aggressive. Pit bulls are not all the same. I understand the stigma from non-dog people because they read dramatic news stories and also some terrible people have done terrible things to pit bulls and turned them into monsters. But they are not all monsters. If somebody hurt my sweet dog for no reason I would make them hurt right back…oops- gotta add- I keep him close by me and not free-range. I’m responsible but he is no threat. Biggest threat is stupid humans.

I agree with “Pit Bulls are Sweet Too”. My best friend and also my entire reason for living is a pit bull and American bulldog mix. He has never given up on me and never not loved me and let me tell you there are times when I wanted to give up and not love myself. He barks when there are people by HIS truck cause he is doing his job and alerting me of possible danger. I also have had to live in my truck cause it’s a safer place than being in a violent relationship but having a home. I cried reading this not only cause I would be lost and pissed as all hell if this happened to me but also cause I know Lilly personally and have had the pleasure of meeting her baby. I’m speechless and feel her pain. Please someone set up a go fund me account. It won’t give her back her best friend but it will help deal with the bills so she can grieve. Jesus

Bull dogs do not have the terror influence that Pitt bulls have so they are less energetic – so many factors beyond genes though and by genes are so intermingled that what is doing what or inhibiting what in the gene world is still a mystery. No matter, dogs have been running free off leash for most of their co existence with us and not getting shot.

Black people are shot in handcuffs and you’re usually on the side of LE. But let a dog – a white dog at that – get shot and well, here we have it.

If we march, take a knee, or complain, white America yells. When we get shot, white America is silent. But let a dog get shot and they start acting like they got a heart.

Sorry about your dog and all, but in a world where human beings are being shot on a near weekly basis while white America looks on in indifference, I can’t really get my hackles up over a dog.

NOT PER CAPITA. Reactions are understandable and emotions run high AND lets at least get right what it is we are reacting to/about. If there are 10 black men among 10,000 white men (as an example, don’t have numbers here and you can google it if you care to) and 9 black men are shot, arrested etc. and 100 white men are likewise that means 90% of the black men were shot, arrested etc. and ONLY 1.0% of white men were. There is no genetic difference that accounts for that, there is only social ecology, institutionalized racism.

Maybe because we get sick and tired of hearing how race is involved. I for one am so tired of of people crying racisim. If the cry was why was this human treated in this way i would be all for supporting a cause but when people label themselves then cry about being singled out by that label i think hrmm, why does the color or lack of color of ones skin make a crime anyless or more of a crime ?. While i agree there is a long way to go look at how far we have come . Why jump so quick ? Why even bring race or color into it ? If the goal is to truely treat and be treated as equals , why label ourselves or each other? That is just playing their game . Refuse to label yourself and others. There are no aferician americians or white americians or latino americians, we are all merely americians and to me that is enough, dont allow others to divide us and keep fighting with each other while laughing at our pettiness.

You get sick of hearing about it so you can just imagine (if you take an entitled minute to graciously consider) living it with it every hour of every day and having your entire family history and experience consumed by IT.
Yes, it must be very troubling to some Americans, with their trips to Disneyland, 5000 tv channels, ATVs and in some cases three jobs to take the time out and slow down and consider how rough it must be. The French required a revolution, The South a bloody war…hopefully we can learn to empathize with less destruction.

The only reason race is a issue is because people label and group themselves. The only thing anyone is entitled to is the fruits of their own labor, in this country you have the right to try to be anything you want. Sure for some it comes easier than others, but no one is denying you or anyone else the chance to work hard dig deep and do whatever your heart desires. The more labels and excuesses that are put out the further and futher away we are being pushed apart. This country is a melting pot, that means melti g into one , not standing out from each other. Guess some people just will never fully learn or even understand that the only reason they feel left out is because they were told they were, useally by those attempting to use them .

Over 1000 americans have been killed by police in the last 12 months, way more often than weekly. And yes more white people are killed than black people BUT ONLY 13% of americans are black, and as with incarceration the numbers are at a vastly higher rate for black people.
The point here in my opinion is that regardless of race or species, cops are too fearful and too trigger happy and do not have adequate skills &and training to serve and protect, as they are charged with doing.

https://qz.com/727941/how-do-police-handle-violence-in-countries-where-officers-dont-carry-guns/

EXCERPTS:
In several countries, a police officer does not even have to carry a gun. In Norway, Iceland, New Zealand, Britain, and Ireland, police officers generally do not carry firearms. In one of these countries, Iceland, it’s legal for citizens to carry guns—and there’s an estimated rate of 30 privately-owned guns per 100 people.

But another key difference between the US and elsewhere is training. Paul Hirschfield, an associate professor of sociology at Rutgers University, points out that US police officers are trained for an average of just 19 weeks. Compare that to police in Norway, who have three years of training before they’re fully qualified.
“If you only have 19 weeks of training, you’re going to spend those on the most essential things. Unfortunately, in the United States, it’s about what you need to defend yourself. How you’re going to avoid getting hurt,” says Hirschfield. “If you have three years, you can also learn how to protect people, how to avoid these situations from arising in the first place. It fosters a whole different orientation and culture in law enforcement.”
Police in other countries are generally trained to de-escalate hostile situations and use minimal violence in response to a threat (as evident in the video below of British police responding to a man with a machete.)

Dogs bark and alert their owners to possible danger. That’s their most important job. This dog did her job. This police officer did not. He is dangerous, careless and uncaring. He should be relieved of duty. Then he should be fired. Then he should be sued. If this happened to my sweet pit bull I can’t say what I would do.

Gerry Spence would have a field day at trial with this case.

The legal fiction of qualified immunity protecting public officials from personal liability in civil suits has had a big impact.

The officer could have remained in his vehicle and used his loudspeaker to address Ms Woods and instruct her to restrain her dog. This seems like an inappropriate use of force, especially because he fired towards an occupied car- not even during a traffic stop, but a WELFARE CHECK.

It would likely be in the officer’s best interest to pay for the damages as a “couresty” to avoid more outrage from the community.

You think the officer would have cared if he shot the owner too, or that he would get in trouble? Firing at occupied vehicles seems to be a trend lately, and you’re talking about an officer perfectly happy to commit murder.

Through all this, that is exactly how I would have done it. If I got out of my vehicle and saw a dog barking, I would have kept my distance and retreated to the car. You see a dog, keep your distance and use other means to have the owner restrain her dog. It would be different if this was a felony stop… But it was a welfare check. The officer should and could have handled it much different with a non aggressive ending. I feel terrible for the owner.

So seven shots wasn’t overly aggressive? Give me a fucking break… Cops are way to trigger nervous anymore…. They rather shoot first…. Hell we were pulled over for the tint on my windows and when we questioned the cop he backed away and put his hand on his fucking gun and called for backup. .. We were not aggressive…. Trigger happy asshole…. He then made us sit there for 45 minutes to run our id’s…. Bullshit when none of us have records. .

Just because she trusts the dog around people, animals, and children- doesn’t mean a parent would.

She knows nothing of the events leading to the event, passed out in the car after not looking her best from being jumped by two girls.

RP may have an entirely different story than her not looking her best and saying she’s okay.

More to this story, but the message is don’t free range your dog.

Any free range dog comes around my child runs the risk of a ticket off the planet.

If you’re passed out free ranging your dog, it’s no longer under your control and don’t whine that a stranger doesn’t have a background check on your bulldog.

Take care of your animals, people are fed up with aggressive looking free range dogs and our safety means more than your lack of care.

Cry to someone else, I don’t care about your dog I have larger concerns.

I wholeheartedly agree CHUMP. I hate when people say their dog is not aggressive, so it gives them license to just let it run loose. Reality is you don’t know how a dog will react to certain stimuli, past behavior is no guarantee in an animal. They can get spooked or set off by something and all that training is out the window.

You as an adult raising a child should have conquered your insecurity so you can teach him or her to not approach said wandering dog. People like you are ignorant and scared of the unknown. If any bear, wolf, lion, racoon, fox walks by are you going to shoot it too? All pose a threat. Animals have walked this land far before us. Learn to live among them, respect them. But go now, lock yourself in your little glass world. Life is rough. Cops also react terribly due to certain stimuli; similar to being scared of a dog like you are.

I put my money on what the RP said had a play in what happened. probably just as delusional as you.

Your argument doesn’t even relate to this story chump. The dog was not stray, the dog and the owner were parked on a public street ( not your private property), there was no mention of any child, etc etc. So as usual you are just leaking your moronic ideas all over this thread.

For someone crying about not wanting to be bothered and preaching about his right to peace and quiet you sure do spend a lot of time bothering me and you seem to never give any peace and quiet to any story on this site.

A lot of people commenting here without knowin any solid facts. Just because the owner states the dog was barking, doesn’t mean the dog didn’t charge the officer. I’ll tell you right now, cops pull up on situations and never know what to expect. If a dog is charging me, I’m going to shoot it. 7 shots is actually a pretty disciplined officer IF, and only IF the dog was charging him. Most people unload a full magazine during their first shooting without realizing it. I’ve seen a man get shot 12 times and still charge de to adrenaline. In my opinion, if the dog was just barking, no charge towards officer, no lunging towards him, then the cop should have just stood ground and given verbal commands. If the dog charged him, it’s a clean shoot, well justified. Since none of us know, sounds like even the dog owner didn’t see, unless the cop has dash cam or body cam footage, it comes down to he said she said.

If the dog is charging at you, maybe you should get the fuck out of there? The officer wasn’t responding to a crime in progress with a dangerous suspect, and could have retreated to his vehicle. The officer’s presence was unwanted and unneeded, and he had absolutely no justification whatsoever for forcing his way into the scene with violence. That, of course, is assuming the dog was actually attacking him – most adoption places test dogs very well for temperament, and a dog that randomly attacks people wouldn’t be put up for adoption.

I hope the dog’s owner sues both the officer and the CHP, one for actually committing the murder, the other for telling officers that’s it’s perfectly OK to use lethal force every time you feel threatened by anything or anyone.

By your logic, it’s perfectly OK to wander around bothering people who don’t want you around, and shooting their dogs if they object to you doing this. If you have no need to be there, you can’t justify use of violence, under any circumstances, to be there.

All the cop knew was it was a call for service to check welfare of a person, if that’s how it was reported. He was within every right to check out the situation, and he had not even had a chance to speak with the person in the car. All of what you say is moot. Not to mention that it’s not very easy to outrun a dog depending on location, how close it already was, et . I feel you are just complaining to complain. As I said, if the officer just felt like shooting a dog, he’s in the wrong. But, if he felt that he was in danger, and couldn’t remove himself from the situation, he was completely justified. Cops don’t come to work to get hurt, it’s a job just like any other. People attempt to hard these days to find wrongdoing when it comes to police. I say let the cops take a week off and what happens happensX see how THAT goes for yaall, eh?

If I feel I’m in danger, I don’t respond by shooting everything in sight. I’d quickly go to jail if I did this. “I might be in danger” is not justification for “I should kill others to prevent this danger” unless that danger is of an immediate, certain, possibly lethal variety. And even if the danger is immediate, certain, and possibly lethal, you’ll still have a major legal hassle on your hands of you use lethal force if there was any other possible option, such as retreating. Unless you’re a cop. Then you can just shoot whomever and whatever you want, whenever you want, for any reason.

Mail carriers don’t come to work to get hurt either, but they don’t get to shoot every dog that barks at them. Dogs bark to alert, in the majority of dogs, that’s all it is… It’s an alert. If I’m driving up to an unknow car/situation. I’m not going to jump out of the car and hurry up to something I haven’t carefully took the time to access the surrounds. The dog would have heard the officer and been barking very quickly, in which GE could have addressed Mrs Woods to restrain her dog. There is no need to rush a non emergency situation.
I do agree we are listening to an emotional perspective of the victim… Rightfully emotional, but so far it doesn’t sound much in favor for the officer. I’ve been around unknown dogs my entire life and I honestly can’t say I’ve ever been scared for my life or the possibility of grave danger by a dog ever. The ones that acted aggressive were dealt with fairly easily with some common scene and not panicking.
I hope a dash cam or body cam comes out on this. If the dog full on charged him when he was far from cover, I totally understand his actions. If it’s almost anything besides that, there would have been far better options if some care would have been taken on his approach.

Ive seen countless stray dogs in my time in humboldt and, not a single one has ever been shot. Yet the dog that has an owner that cares, even if her life ISNT perfect, gets killed out of fear. Cops are equipped with a pistol, a tazer, and mace. There can always be an alternate route besides pulling and firing your weapon. Especially in a neighbor hood and an occupied vehicle. That cop is lucky one of those bullets didnt hit miss wood as well. Talk about a law suit.

And hey C.H.U.M.P [edit] Kym needs to boot your ass off this website. There were no other people or children involved. The guy who called for the welfare check seemed genuinely concered about this person. I dbout if he knew this cop was 1 was a scared [edit] 2 trigger happy asshole and 3 an absolutely terrible shot.. 7 shots and STILL didnt kill his target… he wouldnt have made that call.

The dog was probably on high alert considering her owner didn’t have a home and was injured. I often pull into secluded areas and allow my dog to “free range”(supervised at all times of course). It’s one of the benefits of living in a rural county. My dog is my world and I cannot imagine the trauma and horror she she must have felt. Already down on ur luck and then they shoot her best friend. Make her move her bleeding dog multiple times and wait to get her to medical care. SHAME ON YOU!! Completely heartless.

Enough has been stated in this article to determine it was reckless and excessive force..murder of a companion animal. The officer was not cornered alone in a dark alley and that dog isn’t tall enough to attack the officers jugular and the officer had many other means available to protect himself and proactively protect everyone at the scene.

So your son is now partially responsible for the death of an animal, and serious emotional trauma to an innocent person who got to watch her companion die. I hope you’re proud of him. Maybe tell him to mind his own fucking business before he gets anyone or anything else killed?

NEVER FUCKING CALL THE COPS AROUND HERE. Or most other places, really. They’re just as likely to make a situation worse as they are to make it better. What do you think they would have done to help? Put her on a 5150 hold for being distraught? That’ll help! They don’t provide medical or mental help, so calling them when you think someone might need one of these won’t accomplish anything. There is no possible way calling the police could have improved the situation. The best possible outcome would have been nothing happening, and everything else is downhill from there.

So, let me get this straight. Another person was able to approach the car without being intimidated by this dog, have a conversation with the dogs owner and leave with no fear, but the trained officer couldn’t pull that off without emptying a clip into the dog, car and who knows where? And, the dog is deemed to be “aggressive” and dangerous?

Officer responds to a call for a welfare check, condition of subject unknown. Encounters aggressive dog preventing approach to vehicle. Has this dog attacked the subject in the vehicle? The officer had no way of knowing. I can’t imagine any other outcome than what the Officer did to determine the condition of the subject. The responsibility to control the dog lies solely on the owner of the dog. Why was it off leash?

So a welfare check immediately puts a cop in a combat situation? Jesus. If officers are that paranoid and on edge all the time, maybe a career change is in order? By all means assess situations as you approach a ‘scene.’ As a police officer you are depended upon to act decisively in really shitty situations, and also be able to control situations from escalating. But according to you driving by a vehicle that was reported for a welfare check immediately makes a cop fear for his life? That person should not be allowed to serve as an officer. That person should realize they don’t have the mental well being and self control to calmly operate in that field with a firearm. Please go ahead and say ‘walk in their shoez!’ Well I won’t because I know I wouldn’t be the right person for the job, which hopefully this guy also comes to conclude. This officer needs to go sit at a desk for awhile. And if he is that afraid to approach a vehicle, call for backup. Call animal control. Otherwise look for a different job where shooting things isn’t the Go to solution.

I feel trying to discuss these type of things with people on here does no good, yet I cannot resist posting anyhow. If a vehicle is by itself at the end of a road or pull off, a distress call (welfare check can mean many things) comes through, officer by himself checking the situation… sees at least one individual in the car and a dog outside, given the heightened issues of violence against police officers as of late from idiots that believe everything they read or hear in the news…. cops DO have to assess situations on the fly. They DO NOT come to work to get shot, jumped, ambushed, mauled by a dog, etc. if the officer parked 20 feet away, got out to approach vehicle, dog charges, cop makes split decision to defend himself.. come on now. As I’ve said in all of my previous statements, he’s in the wrong if the dog did not charge him aggressively. If the dog did, he’s justified, bottom line. No matter what you feely types think. Dan fuller, you know nothing of what you speak on, calling bullshit etc. as law enforcement in this day and age, they never know what to expect. Are they more on edge now? Sure why wouldn’t they be? Look at how all you fucks are acting! Do I care for cops? No, not really. I think that they do a horrible job taking care of crime around here, and put in lackluster effort most of the time. The legal system is broken, in a big way. But so is society. So, given the response seen here, I’m sure that the chp will release a follow up statement. Hopefully they will review dash cam footage. And, if they see the dog charge, cop justified. If dog just barking, bad shoot. Simple.

This is really sad & my heart is broken for all involved. When the woman from MN was carjacked last week while parked in broad daylight in a redwood grove south of Stafford, the same question was asked by the perp before he ordered her out by gunpoint: “Are you ok?” Sounds caring… but wasn’t, obviously.
As one who travels with my lab & stops frequently to enjoy the beauty, I was skeptical of the concerned citizen who called LE for a welfare check. I used to appreciate such a gesture but no more.

And they wonder why people dont trust the cops and dont want them around. A majority of cases in that cops have responded to ended with a way worse situation than the original call. Usually they escalate the situation and end up killing someone.

Dogs get loose, it happens and has been for thousands of years and the human race has survived. At a dog park a man let his dog attack mine because he doesn’t like “Pitt Bulls”.

Chloe’s a martyred hero veteran now in the war against ignorance and reckless aggression (apparently the human breed is the most prone to). So very sad about this.

There was one thing that could have changed everything that happened- Ms Wood could have accompanied her dog out. She could have had her on a lead.

I would free bottomlessly traumatized if something like that happened to my dog. Which is why I would have never, ever simply opened the door to let my dog out then got back in the car and shut my door.

I don’t know what happened. Apparently neither did Ms. Wood as she said she first saw after her dog got shot. And neither does anyone here.

This is not the first dog [edit]has killed. He stabbed both of my dogs, then went inside to get his gun- shot and killed one of them while they were trying to come home. He sent his CHP neighbor (another piece of entitled trash) after one with a SHOVEL when she was COMING HOME so he could shoot my other dog. He shot his gun within city limits (Fortuna) which is ILLEGAL. His defense? He “had to go get those pits,” despite both dogs not being pit bulls. I was advised not to pursue pressing charges because he would have my recovering dog put down. This was because they started a dog fight with his pathetic yorkie. Completely rational to pull out a knife to breakup a dogfight, right? He is a disgusting excuse for a human, and if you want to hold him accountable for his actions I am more than happy to testify against his unstable mental capacity. He is irrational and ego-driven. He does not deserve to be in a uniform.

If the trigger happy officer had not been trying to sneak up behind this girl in an attempt to catch her doing something illegal this dog would probably still be alive. Just like if the officer who shot George Robbins had of announced that he was law enforcement or turned on his cop lights that shooting could have been avoided also. The sad thing is that this dog will get no justice and this officer will get no punishment. Even though he shot 7 rounds when no crime had been committed. Fuck cops always getting away with murder!

There are rarely any negotiations involved with law enforcement these days!

This involves mostly people armed and unarmed usually with out a gun! It is now socially acceptable for cops to shoot befor they ask! Hell half of the officers don’t even announce themselves anymore because they don’t have to! In this situation the driver could have been deaf or ill! It still doesn’t mean that the cop had the right to fear for his life and kill her dog! Nothing will become of the incident! The owner will be left with the bills and the damage to her vehicle!

When I travel with my G Shepard, I often pull off the main road to let her out and throw a stick or ball for her; and so she can ‘do her thing’. Don’t blame her for letting her dog out for a bit. The officer should have announced himself behind his open door before ever approaching her car. At that point, if the dog made moves toward him, he could have gotten back in his vehicle and the girl could have called her dog. Situation under control and everyone, and the dog, are safe.

Even if we assume the dog was being aggressive (I don’t make that assumption, but let’s run with it), that still doesn’t mean the dog was doing anything wrong. Her human was passed out after being attacked. Most non-toy dogs aren’t stupid, and will know something is wrong when their humans are upset. She may well have been being a good dog and trying to protect her human from an unknown threat. And she was murdered for it.

The problem is that officers are trained to respond with lethal force to any perceived or imagined threat, even in situations where the hypothetical reasonable person would have not have perceived a threat. Shoot first, ask questions later.

As to being a police hater… I hate murderers. I hope you do too. They’re even worse than child molesters, or whatever other evil you want to pick. Right now, this country’s police force has a serious murderer issue. Did you hear the one a couple weeks ago where a cop simply decided to kill the woman who made the 911 call when she walked up to the responding car and tapped on the window? These things ARE NOT OK. People like you who make excuses for murderers like them are why this is allowed to continue.

It isn’t a matter if the dog ‘doing wrong.’ It is a matter of the dog being a threat to the safety of a person. If the dog charged out, barking aggressively, the police (any rational human for that matter) would be looking to protect himself. If the dog just stood still, barking, then the police did not need to protect himself unless there was further action by the dog.

All this going back and forth with no facts is what is wrong. Dogs can kill so what the dog did does matter and can’t rationally be ignored. People who assume the police was wrong have no information to base it on. People who assume the police did nothing wrong have nothing to base it on.

The only thing that is sure is that the owner ‘opening the back door’ – her own words- so the dog could go in and out unsupervised then getting into the car and shutting the door on herself was wrong. Everything else is speculation. Mostly based on flaming emotionalism and assuming what pleases them. In fact some people seem to be feeding their innate hostility with creating scenarios based on nothing real at all. They egg each other on and on to ever more outrageous statements and irrationality. They form an online mob.

Wow. I’m literally speechless… If we can’t trust officers who can we trust? Just disturbing

Naive, much? Trusting officers is like trusting politicians: naive!

Trust no one but yourself, no one else is responsible for your saftey. That is a fact even police officers are not responsible for your saftey but for their own, that is a fact. They are not allowed to act in your behalf for your saftey according to the us supreme court rulings. Think about that.

The people MUST REMOVE FUNDING FOR ALL EMPLOYEE POLICE, and REMOVE THEM FROM OUR NATION! TAXPAYER WASTE OF RESOURCES, CONTINUED MURDERS, CHILD MURDERS, PETS being MURDERED OVER FALSE FEARS THAT NEVER EXISTED…FEAR is an EXCUSE TO MURDER FREELY AND GET AWAY WITH IT!

DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY, OR SHUT THEM ALL DOWN AS TERRORISM SUPPORTERS!
EMPLOYEE ASSASSINS ARE TERRORISTS, nothing more!

Citizens do NOT SHOOT CHILDREN, POLICE ALWAYS DO!
Tamir Rice was playing in a park, and an EMPLOYEE COP JUST HAD TO GUN THE CHILD DOWN….
12 years old…….DEAD BY COP!
