Calif. TV station films dog calmly playing with kids after cop shoots himself trying to kill it [View all]

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/17/calif-tv-station-films-dog-calmly-playing-with-kids-after-cop-shoots-himself-trying-to-kill-it/

A California deputy accidentally shot himself while trying to kill a dog that he said was threatening his life on Wednesday, but video captured by a local television station later showed the animal much smaller than reported and peacefully playing with children.

According to a Riverside County sheriff’s spokesperson, the deputy was serving an eviction notice at around 2 p.m. on Wednesday when a “large” dog tried to attack him, KCAL reported.

“A dog came at the deputy in an aggressive manner,” Deputy Armando Munoz said, according to The Press-Enterprise. “The deputy, (attempting to defend himself) pulled his service weapon, shot one round, and injured himself in the leg.”

“He’s OK. He has non life-threatening injuries.”

Dog is ok too.

That's usually my reaction pintobean Apr 2014 #107

Bitch is what we call a female dog. IT is by necessity sexist as is "Dog" "COW" "Steer" and "BULL" Vincardog Apr 2014 #137

The poster to whom I replied suggested a double standard between "bitch" ans "asshole" cyberswede Apr 2014 #140

"dog"? Which sex does that refer to? Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2014 #141

The kind that breeds bitches. Vincardog Apr 2014 #142

"dog" is not gender (sex) specific. "bitch" is sex specific. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2014 #143

The male sex is generally recognize as the inclusive term for the species. Dog is sex specific Vincardog Apr 2014 #144

"stud" is male specific. nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2014 #145

The "inclusive = male" assumption is at root of patriarchy & the idea that females don't count. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2014 #146

You are picking a fight where there is none. Vincardog Apr 2014 #148

Good. "Son of a bitch" is a sexist remark. Glad we agree. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2014 #149

It's sexist because you never see "son of a dick" as an insult. nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2014 #134

Yes, read your post. However we DO live in the 21st century where "bitch" is an insult referring ... Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2014 #157

does that include the backyard, while i'm at work? frylock Apr 2014 #60

Inapplicable. mbperrin Apr 2014 #87

And barking to announce a stranger passiveporcupine Apr 2014 #136

You don't know the dog was only barking and not charging. Nine Apr 2014 #166

It's not inapplicable to frylock's scenario, which is what I was responding to. (nt) Nine Apr 2014 #165

ah. well there you have it. police can kill your family pet with impunity.. frylock Apr 2014 #127

No, it simply means the officer can't be considered a trespasser. Nine Apr 2014 #164

No evidence this dog attacked anybody, period. mbperrin Apr 2014 #85

The attack is presumed in the hypothetical we're discussing here. Nine Apr 2014 #100

Are you assuming that the officer knew the dog was there before he entered the property? mbperrin Apr 2014 #133
