Boycott Tennessee! Police Handcuff Innocent Family and SHOOT Their Dog!

"Police shouldn't be allowed to get away with killing someone's pet regardless of the situation the pet did nothing wrong and shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of another human!"

"I support this petition"

"Me and my complete family was shocked !"

"very sad situation"

"Police should never shoot innocents!"

"This is outrageous. People who panic sooooooooooo easily and are so afraid of a friendly family pet should NOT be carrying a gun. This man needs to be REMOVED from the force. They are there to SERVE and PROTECT! Not to devistate people by shooting MEMBERS"

"This shows an alarming lack of judgement, and callous disregard for an animals life. I won't be visiting Tennessee."

"The police should of been willing to work with the family. Not like the family was being diffical. The officer should of followed their request to shut the doors. The Smokes were harmless in handcuffs."

"Tennessee, you should be ashamed of yourselves, that dog was a member of that family, have you no decency?"

"I am very ashamed of the Tenn. Police, they have very poor training skills!"

"If the dog was going to attack it wouldn't be the first person it sees, it would have been whoever was holding its master!"

"I saw the tape. What I saw was an incompetent and frightened police officer who was terrified for nothing. I also heard the LAUGHTER of this so-called professional of law enforcement on the tape. He showed arrogance, was non-apologetic and believed that h"

"I am an active foster home/secretary for a local Pit rescue and I also work Animal Control. This should not have happened. Why aren't officers getting any animal body language training?"

"if the state of Tennessee have nothing beeter to do but kill poor dogs my family an i will never return there for vacations!!!!!!!!"

"I support this petition"

"I worked at a police department for many years. I knew sworn officers who were good people, and I knew those who were not so kind and always pumped up for some "action." Blowing away a friendly dog is an act of cowardice."

"It is clear that the dog was showing a playful stance. There was no need for the police officer to shoot the dog."

"I support this petition"

"Horrible Actions Displayed"

"I have seen the video. The officer was in NO danger from that dog and it was obvious. He must be removed from his (power abusing) position and the family should be compensated greatly for the loss of their family member."

"I support this petition"

"Give an idiot power and theyll beat you with experience"

"Officers need more education on how to properly handle dogs. I'm so tired of reading stories like this. It's awful!"

"That is a criminal offense and they should be punished to the fullest of the law. Oh My God, I am DISGUSTED!"
