COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (CBS4) – Commerce City police plan to do an internal review after an officer shot and killed a dog.

The incident happened on Saturday on the 9,600 block of Nucla Street.

A neighbor, Kenny Collins, called police to report that the dog was running loose. He then shot a video of what happened next.

The video shows two police officers and an animal control officer surrounding the dog, a 3 1/2-year-old pit bull. At first they tried to control it using a taser and then they tried a neck harness. Then an officer fired once and then, with the dog secured, the officer shot four more rounds, killing the dog.

hold the damn camera still...shit!

Sucks because I'm an avid dog lover, especially of the villianized Pibbles. Owners need to be more responsible. :\

Hmmm.......I personally hate overly aggressive dogs. But I think the shooting was a bit much, which is opposite of what I usually say, but there were 2 things that stood out:

1. As the dog made it's final dash, it wasn't going after anyone it was trying to run away from them.

2. As the dog was running it looked like the person with the catcher pole made a successful snag, so at that point, the dog was controlled.

Shouldn't have shot.

way to aggresive for my taste and im fucking dizzy now..

Wrong to shoot it, it had already been snagged. Poor dog was trying to run for its life.

Once snagged, no further shots required. Cop should be reprimanded.

Another pit bull... yeah yeah i know... im still waiting for the black labs, or australian shepherd vids.... oh, only pittys do? Huh...

That cop should lose his licensing from the state. As bad as he was with that pistol, he is unsafe, and putting other cops in danger on future calls

You do know why, don't you? Because the news outlets are only interested in reporting the vilified breed of the day/week/year. Right now, it's Pit Bulls. 10 years ago, it was Rottweilers, and years before that, German Shepherds.

There was a report somewhere from a animal welfare group and ranger that stated, frankly, that when they reported a dog attack to the media, the media outlet's response was, "If it's not a Pit Bull, we're not interested." Biased media scare-mongering in the US. Fuck yeah. Here in Australia, we do hear about the Mastiffs, and Shepherds, and other dogs who also maul people on the news.
