A family says that while rounding up their loose puppy, a police officer arrived and shot it in the head, in its own yard, in close proximity to several onlookers, the owner, and a horrified child.
Apollo the dog, a 1-year-old shepherd-mix, had briefly gotten out of its yard on June 25th, 2014, and was being corralled his family. Owner Nicole Echlin and her 6-year-old daughter had already gotten Apollo to come back to their yard when a representative from the Hometown Police Department arrived in front of their house.
Instead of assisting the family in tying up the dog, or doing anything resembling public service, Officer Robert Norris drew his gun. The quiet residential street was rocked when the officer abruptly shot dog in the head. NBC interviewed witnesses and reported the story:

Nothing to see here, move along. Just another training day for our not-to-be-questioned heroic LEOs. Officer Safety and the assumed to be guilty public are being conditioned for when, Officer Safety can shoot dog owners and 6 year old girls in the head. Why? Well, you're under arrest for even asking!

DeleteReally.
Such a highly trained (and brave) law enforcement agent.... saving the life of the little girl from a life of love and companionship with her young pup! The young girl will NEVER forget what she saw. The question is will she be "persuaded" to accept that what the "thug with a badge" did was in her (scratch that) HIS best interests....
