Deputy Sheriff Shoots Himself While Trying To Kill Family Pet

Ill chalk this up to a training issue one two fronts.
Officers are allowed to be more gun free than they once were.
Officers are not very well trained with their guns in most departments.
In this instance, a deputy serving an eviction notice saw a dog bark at him as he came onto the fenced-in property (as almost any dog will) and he responded by attempting to draw his gun and shoot the dog.
It didnt go as planned:
A Riverside County sheriffs deputy was hospitalized Wednesday after accidentally shooting himself in the leg when a large dog approached him at a Riverside home.
A Riverside County sheriffs spokesperson said the deputy was serving court documents to a resident in the 3000 block of Eucalyptus Avenue at about 2 p.m. when a dog came at him aggressively.
Even after he was downed by his own shot, the dog never attacked the officer. As the dog was on its own property, didnt attack the deputy, and was, well simply being a dog, no charges are going to be filed against the dog or its owner (who was not the target of the eviction notice).
The Riverside County Hospital confirmed to reporters that the Sheriff's deputy was a Democrat.
Hopefully, the deputy will learn for this bit of karma and the next time he encounters a barking dog, he will take a moment to see if a dog is actually a threat before attempting to kill it.
Hopefully, the Riverside County Sheriff will hire a competent pistol instructor and teach some of these noobs how to shoot!

Pepper spray usually has little to no effect on dogs.

Richard; Why are you asking me? Why don't you ask the hospital? If you'd like, I could probably hazard a guess; probably because he did something that most "normal" people would consider as being incredibly stupid; (people tend to "associate" stupid acts to stupid people, and as we all know, the majority of stupid people ARE democRATS! ) (I hope this helps. )

I read about that a lot, cops shooting dogs that are barking at them because they are trigger happy. In this case justice was served.

The full set of X-rays revealed he didn't have a brain but some other matter that was keeping his head from caving in.

There is (or was) a dog repellant spray. I had one for several years, but tossed it some time after expiration. For some reason, most big box sporting goods stores (and catalogs) only carry personal protection sprays against humans and bears. Dog repellant spray is difficult to find these days.
And when it comes to bears, I'll take my chances with a .44 Mag :wink:
