Pit bull shot and killed by Baltimore police
Police in Baltimore shot and killed a family’s pit bull when the dog ran out of his home as police were chasing a suspect.
“He wasn’t just our dog. He was our family,” Stacey Fields said of the family’s dog, Kincaid. “It’s a horrible thing seeing your dog that you love laying on the ground dead and bloody.”
Fields said a suspect being chased down an alley ran into their basement stairwell, with police in pursuit.
Kincaid ran out of his home during the commotion, and Baltimore police say he charged at the officers.
WJZ reported the dog was shot three times, twice in the head
“He was just barking like ‘Hey, what are doing in my yard? Who are you?’” Fields said.
“If it was a Cockapoo or a Chihuahua it probably wouldn’t have happened,” she said. “If he had pulled his mace, Kincaid would still be here.”

After commenting on numerous “cop shoots dog” incidents in 2012, I am at a loss for words. What is it gonna take to get the message out that so-called “Officers of the law” have NO BUSINESS killing family pets because of (mis)conceived threats to their persons? Hey cops! Get a freakin’ clue or turn in the damn gun!!
