Oakland Police You Legends: Cops Kill Pet Labrador As Suspected Burglar
FACEBOOK Legends of The Day are Oakland police in the US who when responding to an alarm at Mary Kate Hallock’s home spotted her pet dog and shot it three times with a 40-caliber Glock handgun.
The police are not without a sense of civic duty. They left a note:
“Oakland police responded to your residence to investigate a burglar alarm. While circling the rear perimeter, lab advanced on officers in a threatening manner before being shot and killed.”
Lab was an 11-year old dog called Gloria. Police say the dog growled at them.
Says police spokesman Jeff Thomason:
“We never want to go into a situation where we hurt a family pet, but in the course of doing our job, sometimes we have to make split-second decisions.”
Yeah. They claim to have thought about it…
