Debbie – Our dog and my mother-in-law’s dog (Chihuahuas) are most vicious beasts. I’ve thought about putting them in a pen and selling tickets, but I read somewhere that wasn’t legal.

Chris, I saw a news article in eithe the AJC or Gwinnett Daily post written about the court order. Both Beaudrieu and Nasui stated they had problems with the trash plan after hearing from the people. Beaudrieu also spoke about the recyling plan and stated he had issues with the trash gestapo..

Here’s a new police training vid. that’s being utilized by police forces in some areas in order to avoid this type of problem in the future.

This isn’t GA related but the accountability factor needs to always be in place. The Blackwater protective agents who were involved in the September 07 shooting in Iraq where 18 or so folks were killed are in a world of hurt. A handful were just indicted a few weeks back. It will be interesting to see where this case goes.

Wouldn’t you be a little relieved if you had a fellow officer who was less than competent and they were relieved of duty? (I’m not saying this is the case here, I’m just saying)

I agree but the only thing wrong with the “no outrage” concept is nothing happens when nobody gets mad. And Police Chiefs are usually the worst. More like politicians usually. Anti-gun many times.

I agree but let’s not hang him before he has a chance to explain things. I hate that the officer has not spoken about this. I am sure he is being told not to.

About the change – Obama’s Civilian Security Force scares me the most. That would put us in a police state. With all that is happening right now people are blind to the power the politicians have and the power they are taking from us.

When something goes wrong, there should be some accountability. That’s all. Same for any state, local or Federal agency. Including law enforcement and military. The ATF, the FBI, Centcom, FEMA, anything. If you haven’t noticed a certain change in the roll between the public and law enforcement/military/politicians over the last 20 or so years you haven’t been paying attention.

Debbie – do you have a link to Beaudrieau and Nasui changing their position?

I’ve had respect for Beaudrieau till this trash thing came along.

So, your lab likes to pretend he’s tough. Mine can’t even pretend. He is a 95 lbs wimp. He loves anyone who will pet him. (And believe me he gets enough loving from us but he’s always ready for a little more)

blazer,

Well, don’t visit me, okay? I have a snarling and charging Yellow Lab who acts tough but wouldn’t do anything against a human being. It’s just the way he responds to unfamiliar people.

Bill Simon,

I would be more likely to shoot a snarling and charging dog off duty rather than on duty simply because that would be the only option I had. Personally, my first choice would be pepper spray; but the force continuum is different for different agencies and officers…

Did the GPD EVER get their witness? You know, the thing they were originally after?

I strongly disagreed with the Commisson on the trash fiasco, but Commissioners Beaudrieau and Nasui have changed their mind on the trash plan. They found it is never too late to do the right thing.

That is why I think they should be informed about this incident as they would investigate and would not stand for it if the facts are procedure was not followed and the wrong house was invaded.

Facts do matter and I would love a thorough investigation but Gwinnett PD has made it clear they will not do one. I think the Gwinnett County Commission should investigate this as they appoint the Gwinnett Police Chief. I don’t know how much sway they would have, but I find it hard to believe that Commissioners like Mike Beaudrieu and others would put up with this type of disregard for proper procedure if that is what the investigation finds..

Will it take a tragedy like Kathryn Johnson in Gwinnett for procedures to change?

The Gwinnett PD spokesman should have acknowledged they made a mistake and that it was unforgiveable that this happened twice in ten days. He should have stated that the Gwinnett PD was immediately reviewing and revising procedures to make sure this infrigement on personal property rights did not happen again. Then they should have discipline the officers involved.

It doesn’t bother me if this group is against me. Debbie has her mind made up that no matter what happened, the officer was wrong. So, facts don’t matter. There is very little anyone actually knows about this situation. Most of the crap written here is speculation.

I feel bad for the owner but I am not going on a witch hunt like the rest of you. I’ll wait for the full story.

I am the owner of the dog that got shot. My dog was not a mean dog. He would have never charged at anyone. I was in my kitchen when the incident happened, my dog did not bark or grawl. All that was herd was three gun shots. Yes three gun shots. Two of which put two bullet holes into my house. I dont see why firing three shots at my dog was proper prdocedure. They could of maced, or tasered, or shot up in the air to startle the dog or bring awarness to me that they were there and needing assitance. They took away a family member in our house. he wasnt just a dog, he was our family. my kids are heart broken, and I feel like i lost one of my kids. I would hope that all dog owners will unite and help me defend Kalu’s legacy so this never happens again
