NYPD Cop Kills Family Pet in Cold Blood as Child Watches

New York, NY — Excited by activity outside the apartment, Spike rushed out, wagging his tail eagerly to greet whoever stood on the other side of the door — and was promptly executed by an NYPD officer wielding his gun.

Graphic video of the February 13th slaughter of Yvonne Rosado’s beloved pit bull has now been released — and it is nothing short of outrageous.

“He was a big Snuffleupagus — a gentle giant,” Rosado described Spike to the New York Daily News. “He was a member of the family … He would wag his tail, letting everyone know he was friendly.”

Immediately before the inexplicable shooting, Rosado had been dancing with her dog — a weekly ritual in which Spike stood on his hind legs so she could hold his paws.

It's maddening. I wouldn't feel this way of we had a justice system. NutmegYankee Mar 2016 #4
Many racists - I'm sorry, breedists - will see the words 'pit bull' and side with the cop. Lancero Mar 2016 #3

...well, I'd best not go any further. A cop executed someone's cat last week. Seriously...a cat.

But we don't - it's an injustice system. This scumbag is going to get high-fives at the station and receive no punishment. The NYPD is lawless.

I bet some cops, like some people don't care about domestic animals or cannot stand them. Pitbulls make them panic.
