MEET – Parrot The Dog Killed By Cops.
therealstevegray.com
THIS PHOTO IS FROM 2010 AND IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. OCCUPY OAKLAND WAS A DUMB MOVE LAW ENFORCERS, PEOPLE ARE NOW SHARING STORIES OF BRUTALITY…..SHARE AWAY………
The dog was named Parrot. This was taken moments before Parrot was murdered by the cop. The cop drove his knee into the middle of Parrot’s back while stretching Parrot’s forelegs behind him, as one would do with an armed criminal. Without waiting to determine whether this technique would calm Parrot, the cop grabbed Parrot, lifted him off the ground, and brought him to the top of the concrete staircase. He threw Parrot over the banister, down twelve steps, and onto the concrete floor. Then, the cop stood at the top of the stairs, drew his weapon, and executed Parrot. Aaron, the animal’s owner, cannot recall the number of shots fired. Witnesses state that Parrot was not harming anybody and was simply frightened by the cop.
The story now takes on two conflicting sides.
According to Block, Parrot was calming down when the policeman came over, grabbed the dog and threw the dog over the steps. The dog was getting up, and the officer shot him. He’s a ” very people-friendly dog with absolutely no bite history,” stated Block about the dog he was fostering from Lucky Dog Animal Rescue.
Officer Scott Fike, a 25 year veteran fired one shot at Parrot killing the dog and claimed the dog started running at him to attack. Jacob Kishter, commander backed up the officer’s story. Police witness Tony DePass, a former DC police officer also stated the dog was charging.
Now according to multiple eyewitnesses, ” Parrot had already been subdued and was being held securely by his foster Aaron Block, when the police arrived on the scene; Parrot was not ‘out of control.’ Lucky Dog Animal Rescue states the dog did not charge officers either. ” The dog was just getting to his feet when the officer drew his gun and opened fire without provocation.” Eyewitness, Jennifer Naideth, a festival participant supported Block’s story, and called the dog killing ” so unnecessary and so violent.”

Fuck you cop. I hope you got charged for animal abuse. I want you to do something for me: stick a toothpick under your big toenail and kick a wall as hard as you can. This would make me happy. Thank you!
Hope this POS cop gets shot to death! bye bye F stain!
This is humanity at its lowest. When the people we trust to serve and protect betray us, you know that the world is not ok. This is plain brutality. I know that if my dog was taken from my hands and crushed to a concrete, I would not stand by for even a second. That is my dog, my friend, and so help me god I would risk my life to keep him safe. How can you throw trust back into someones face like that? That cop abused our trust, and that dog trusted his owner to help him. I get that some people are afraid to act, but I still feel for that poor dog. I live in Northern Ireland and our police haven’t gotten the best reputation, but I still trust them, and they try. I actually know quite a few of them and two of my friend’s fathers worked as officers. They are valiant men, who would be disgusted at this. Just because a pet or any animal doesn’t share your intelligence or species, does not mean have the right to abuse them. A life is a life, no matter what, that does not change. No one should have right or authority to take a life away, period.
I’d have beat the fucker to death, or taken his gun and shot him in the fucking face. I care nothing for my own well-being.
Are you messed up in the head you are sick
I can’t even look at the pic without wanting to cry or throw up, or at least get a damn good punch in on that ass hole cop!! The cop should be the one behind bars for animal cruelty and I hope PETA makes a new ass hole for his nasty shit to come out of. If that had been my dog I’m afraid I would not be able to control myself. My heart goes out to the owner. Sorry for your loss. Hope he gets what he deserves. Peace
That’s exactly how I feel. If that had been my dog, I would not have been able to control myself either; I would just see red and I wouldn’t care about the consequences. I honestly can’t understand the thought process that people go through when they do things like this. It’s absolutely disgusting.
The sad thing is this took place over a year ago and you have people acting like it was yesterday and even claiming they were there. Pathetic really.
who is you? it clearly states in the first line the photo is from last year and it is being shared i presumed because occupy oakland police violence had just happened so people were over police attacks and actions and want people to know what they are like, so once again who is you drago?
Drago, it doesn’t matter when, where, how, why it happened! IT SHOULD NOT OF HAPPENED! I am in the UK and i spend DAY AFTER DAY homing unwanted dogs, seeing this sort of treatment day in day out, so no matter how long ago it happened it is close to my heart, and it makes me sick to think people like you think it is ok just because it happened more than a week ago… MAKE ME SICK.. move on pal, your comment is not wanted… Sorry Steve
Who gives a shit about Drago & what he thinks. Let him live in his stupidity so that when he dies, he gets killed as the fucking retard that he is.
I’m just so disgusted, my heart hurts just reading this. Let me guess, nothing happened to the cop?? Hey moms, do a better job raising your sons. And boys, learn to control yourselves. I am not the type to have ill thoughts about others but I’m having troubles pushing them out in this moment. I hope that cop does not have children.
that cop should be killed for what he did.. its to bad someone in the crowd didnt have enough balls to restrain the faggot cop.. anyone who can harm an animal isnt human and should be tortured, raped and killed… #jusSayin
Dear Jonathan, haha your such a faggot. Yeah you “dream” of destroying people like him huh? Try it, he will end you faster then you “dreamed” of destroying him. It’s people like you that make America fucked up now. Go clean your mouth out with a shotgun.
****(Sorry to everyone else who is on here for the right reason but I have to do this)****
HEY JON: you’re an ignorant douche and a perfect example of idiots all over…going around telling people ‘they’ are the reason America is fucked up and calling people faggots!? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? Everyone probably hates you (including attractive females, like myself) and your I’m sure your mom dressed you up like a girl everyday before school which is why your a homophobic little shit. Go clean your mouth out with a bag of dicks.
Jon you punk bitch I would scrape your ass all over the bottom of my shoe then stomp your face in a pile full of dog shit just so you know how much of a worthless piece of crap you actually are. But you probably know that already. Wish I could see you & your dog killing cop buddy out of his uniform in person where the playing field is level. I would shoot you both between your eyes. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF AMERICA YOU PIECE OF SHIT. Nobody wants your type here.
& trust me, this is not talking tough over the internet…This is me being nice. I would slice your throat up real slowly & finely with a sharp filet knife Jon if I could ever run into a scumshitfuck like you in person. Maybe you think if I carefully wish hard enough I just might get it?? I hope so. Then I can actually get to do it. Bonus if your cop buddy was thrown into it too.
And considering what horrible things mankind has done so far, I would rather kill every single people LIKE HIM than just a one animal of any kind.
Why didn’t anyone do anything? I would have charged at that police the moment he lifted the dog up and kicked him in the balls than living rest of my life with the pain of knowing I didn’t do anything. I dream of mentally destroying people like him..
Here we have a photo of the dog pinned. Unfortunately and even though I believe it’s true, we don’t have a photo of him under control by the owner. prior to that. So let’s go with what we do have, at the moment the dog was pinned, he was under control. That said, it isn’t hard to wrap a shirt or coat around the dog so it can’t bite and wait for animal control. But instead, something happened after the brutal & injurious pinning, and the dog was thrown down stairs and then shot. Completely uncalled for in my opinion, and that officer should not be employed in such a position. He obviously does not possess the patience to remain cool during what may be a stressful situation, and/or he felt like playing white knight for those few onlookers who were hoping the dog would go down or something more exciting would happen. My votes in for the latter. Just because someone passes the tests in the police academy it doesn’t guarantee that they will handle everything in an ethical manner. Lastly, I find it VERY interesting that a GROWN man, who’s trained to protect himself, would be so afraid of a dog, a DOG, that he’d pull a gun on him. Seriously? I am a woman, and I wouldn’t pull a gun on a dog that was charging me, IF that dog, which I doubt. A gun against a DOG? Seriously? If you are trained, as police are, it is so easy to defend yourself against any dog that size, even a pit, without using a gun. When I read this article, it depressed me. What our world has come to in America anyway, it’s just sickening and I’m glad that I’m not leaving children behind to live in it. Especially if this is where it’s headed. No respect for any living thing except humans? As IF we are so much better than everything else? Hrrrmph. Use every living thing for what you can, then throw it away, or if you can’t use it, kill it and eat it? That’s America today!
I totally agree, the dog was defenceless, he quite easily could of pinned the dog CORRECTLY and restrained him until animal control arrived but no, he wanted to be the hero. And after pinning the dog he continued his cruel act by throwing the dog down concrete steps, and then shot the dog, so he couldnt of been that scared as he CARRIED the dog up the stairs to throw him down… HE SHOULD BE HUNG!
The cop threw the dog and killed him because he was pissed he got a few scratches. Asshole has no business being a cop if he can’t control himself
o jennifer let me be clear……………….
Dear, Jaralinn…i doubt people pay enough attention to your Twitter to make me famous, but thank you for trying!
haha. Besides that, you didnt state anything about the issue, just me. How do you feel about the situation? What would you have done? Does it make you sad? 
awww. Hahah go drive your Prius off a bridge. No one will miss you.
First off, who brings a dog, especially a breed that many people are afraid of, to a demonstration with thousands of people and the possibility of mayhem, etc breaking out? Taking animals and children to these is unacceptable.
Secondly, considering that almost everyone has video cameras on their person, I do not believe anything unless I see the video to back up the claim.
Thirdly, they can’t decide how or what happened. Every “eye witness” has a different tale to tell, and each is way different than the other.
The blame for this dog’s death, does not just lie with the officer, it lies with the owner who should never have brought the dog.
I agree with what they demonstrating against, but I am opposed to the way they are doing it. I am tired of these people claiming officers are acting unjustly, when they cannot show proof that they are peaceful demonstrators. The few videos I’ve seen, conveniently edit out the actions prior to police actions. If you really are peaceful, if you really did not provoke the police, then why edit the videos? Bringing axes, rocks and cans of paint only prove they are not there to be peaceful. Vandalizing private property is not an act of peaceful people.
You fucking dumb bitch!!!! A cop shot a defenseless dog dead and your argument is that “scary” dogs and children shouldnt be at these events. All witnesses point to an unprovoked murder of this innocent dog. hopefully one day a police officer will murder something close to you for no reason and then you might understand. Dumbass
Totally Agree
Agree.
If circumstances called for it i would do the same think. You stupid liberal fa**ot tree huggers. Go die. Its a fu*king dog! A dog! Not a person. Not a police officer! If the cop felt threatened then he did what he should have done, im proud of him. Im sure it wasnt easy to do. Hahah assualt the cop? I wish someone would have, if anyone attempted to then they deserve to be put in the ground with the dog. Stop living in the crazy fun starbucks fantasy world you guys live in. Shit is real out here in the real world.
It has nothing to do with being liberal. Only right-wing nuts like you actually spin everything so it’s about politics. This is about a dog that, according to multiple accounts, was doing nothing and the police officer shot it. Shooting random dogs isn’t the “real world”. Yeah, it is a dog. Somebodies pet. So what? That means we should just be allowed to go outside and kill anything non-human that we want for shits and giggles? You’re a prime example of why Republicans are so looked down on.
“JON” You dumb rube, go F*ck yourself. Pull yourself off your sister for two seconds and lets get real. Politics aside…. can you do that for moment? Lets try it…. #1. Have you tried Starbucks coffee? Have you tried coffee? You should, it may just loosen things up a bit and help out your anger issue, might help you care just a teensy bit. #2. “Shit is real out here in the real world”…. Really? No shit… You’re the ONLY person, Mr. I’m the ONLY ONE HURTING out there. *dispensing web tissue now*. and #3. This is SO IGNORANT I am tweeting this for the world to see. You’re welcome for me making you famous. Hopefully you are my grandfathers age and not like 18….. That would totally “Suck Balls”. Big “Tree Hugging Ones”…..
You fucking cop loving bitch. Go suck off the entire police department as you probably get off on their brutality. You obviously love crooked cops so much you fucking loser. You have probably been bukkaked by entire police forces before. I hope something close to you dies at the hand of a police officer and then you can feel the pain of people with common sense. Actually that would probably turn you on!! Fuck the police!! Die bitch
@Everyone with common sense: You speak the truth. This world needs more people like you. The sad part is that, that innocent dog’s murder will probably never be avenged.
As a conservative, I am fucking ashamed to be a member of the party you consider yourself part of. You’re a psychopath, an idiot, or both. Being liberal has nothing to do with anything here! This dog was brutally murdered by some sadistic bastard that currently is employed as a police man, and has the power to shoot and abuse whoever he wants to. Obviously, compassion and justice and dignity mean nothing to you, but even someone as unrepentantly self centered and ignorant should comprehend the consequences of psychopaths running around as law enforcement officers.
What kind of disgusting monster approves of the arbitrary killing of other sentient beings- innocent animals, pets with loving owners- and justifies it as being “the real world”? Most of my personal heroes are US Police officers and soldiers- men who have been faced with the decision of killing others to save themselves and their buddies. And I can say with utter conviction that none of them would have maimed, beaten, and shot that poor dog.
You’re a pathetic son of a bitch and it’s disgusting that you call yourself a Republican, or an American at that. You’re a disgrace to our nation, and I hope that YOU “go die”.
He was a dog, but he was also a member of the family. They are our children, just as if we had conceived them ourselves. My dog gets his breakfast before I do, every day. He is more likely to take a trip to the vet than I am my doctor. He comes first. And if I have to put 2 in your belly and 1 in your head to protect him, I will do just that.
Sleep well.
You’re an imbecile.
That was for JON, btw
Where can I have others send letters or make a statement that will reach Washington DC?
Thank you!
Brynn
I would have gone to jail protecting that dog. I could give a crap who’s wearing a uniform. When you see something like this, you do the right thing. you do the right thing even if you’re standing alone.
You took the words straight out of my soul. *offers fist bump* Pound it, sister.
Oy Vey, if I saw someone hurting you and about to murder you, it would not cross my mind,nor should it,that I might go to jail for stopping them. If you saw someone doing this to your own dog,wouldnt you put a stop to it? It shoulnt matter if it is someone who is suposed to be in a position of power,or if the someone being hurt doesnt share your DNA. What should matter is helping someone who cant help themself.
The cop obviously intended to shoot the dog because he threw an already aggitated dog down a stair well with no means of blocking his return. Anyone who knows dogs knows that when they’re in that state of mind, further injury will only escalate the issue. Throwing the dog knowing he would run back, aka “charge,” is a way of staging an excuse to shoot. I also don’t blame the dog for snapping because you can clearly see in the picture that the cop had ALL of his weight on the dog. The cop has to be at least 3 times more heavy and that had to hurt. What do we do when someone’s hurting us? Lash back. Lastly, no one has commented on what the poodle may have done to start the fight. Dogs send subtle signals to each other and for all we know, the poodle instigated. Not saying it did, but it appears no one has considered the possibility. I understand that a pit bull coming from a rescue most likely has a jaded past. However, a determination about Parrot’s disposition should be made by animal services…not a trigger happy cop. Small dogs do get killed by larger dogs with bad owners and it’s a problem, but again…animal services should have had a chance to investigate. I wish cops had…and utilized…more humane options for situations like this.
You are so right and poodles almost always growl and fight as they are very very insecure and protective of their owners. It’s almost always a poodle I see growing in public places. As for the rest, I agree and I think he was engaged in the “white knight” moment when he murdered the dog.
I’ll just leave this here…
http://www.luckydoganimalrescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/PoliceReportParrot-2.jpg
have seen many police reports like that over the years.
In other words the report was fasified, OH! Now there’s a surprise!
And what happened with all the fucking idiots standing around watching. They should of been shot too. Everyone who posts here should be calling this police department and insisting something be done with this cop NOW. . He isn’t a cop but a coward, probably afraid of people and that’s why he picked an innocent animal. I will find out his name and where he lives and POST IT HERE. Good thing he’s not in my town, I wouldn’t want this idiot they call a COP in my town. We have real cops here. He’d be killed in the line of duty. We don’t put up with this shit here.
Vicky,Thank you. This picture of people calmly standing around and doing nothing to stop this disgusting peice of shit from hurting and killing this dog made me immediatly sickened. Its this mentallity that allowes women to be raped in broad daylight. The apathy and “someone else should do something” mentallity angers me beyond belief. I have been trying to find out information on the “man” who slaughtered this dog. Please do share anything you find.
Wow, people are so polarized on this issue. I think we can all agree on some basic points. Not all dogs from ‘dangerous breeds’ are evil. Not all cops are brainless thugs. When we assume that an issue falls within the parameters of our prejudices, without a full examination of the facts, we are working to preserve stereotypes. Cruelty is bad. But that doesn’t mean that what appears cruel on the surface, either the dog cruelly attacking the small dog, or the cop cruelly attacking the dog is what it initially appears to be. Most of the posts on this topic that I have read seem to be emotionally based reactions to what they perceive to be a stereotype (all cops are pigs, all pit bulls are dangerous). As in most things, I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
The fact remains that ANYONE who throws ANY dog down a stair case and executes them is guilty of punishable cruelty,regaurdless of breed or occupation
any citizen woulda been arrested for thiz but just cuz thiz animal killer wearz a badge and works for the law and thinkz he’s something not shit happenz to him..no charge or nothing??? and whoever iz on the copz side ur some cruel ass ppl!!!
what a fuckin dick..the cop lookz like an asshole..he sure as hell wouldn get away wit thiz if it were my dog!!! >:(
i own several “dangerous” dogs. All of which play with puppies and other dogs extremely well. Now if another dog threatens me or my dogs say on a walk….and my dog defends me or himself….i should shoot my dog?
Where was the owner and why didn’t he try to stop the cop? If I was the owner, I would have done everything I could to protect Parrot instead of just watching this whole thing take place in front of me.
Agreed Michelle. How could you stand there and watch this happen to a member of your family?
I’m just really confused to why the officer threw the dog down the steps. Was that really necessary? Even it’s true that the dog charged, he was provoked. I’d be angry too if I was thrown down some steps.
Wow, the funny thing is, none of you actually know anything about this, since none of you were there (and there were equal numbers of witnesses that “saw” both versions of the story), and 2, if you laid a hand on him, you’d not only be charged with assault on a cop, but hate crimes too since he’s gay. Most of you sick fucks that want to hurt him are probably homophobic as well, so I guess you’d still be cool with it.
No Rod,..most of us ‘sick f**ks are angry because the use of force was unjustified. I didn’t know the cop was gay but it doesn’t matter. Police are trained to use what they call “use of force continuim”,..and he had sever options before choosing deadly force. The frustrating point this story brings out is the apparrent escalation of similar incidents of ‘bad judgement calls” used ever more frequently by law enforcement. All it takes is one or two bad apples in every department to make it harder for the cops who do manage to “protect & serve”. Bottom line is ..the shooting wasn’t justified.
Rod, you’re a moron. A hate crime? It’s not a hate crime unless the crime is related to hate. Ie: if we knew the officer was gay ahead of time and assaulted him because of that reason alone. What an idiot you are.
were YOU there? Would YOU throw a dog which is already in control over a flight of stairs? will ANY dog defend itself after you throw it over a staircase? The other dog bit first i hope you know that too becaue i WAS there. people like you make me worry for this society
WHY WAS THE OTHER DOG NOT SHOT?! FOX NEWS SAID IT BIT FIRST!
Ok Coppa…
YEah rod, cos so many animal lovers are also gay bashers…. You stupid fuckwit.
Yes Rod, most people who want to stop animal cruelty and agree that picking up and throwing an animal down stairs and shooting them,when you very clearly have control of the situation, hate gay people. There are gangs of animal rights/gay bashing mobs roaming the streets at night,preaching for fair treatment of animals and the heads of homosexuals. Right on man! Thank god you identified the problem crowd,I just hope its in time!
Rod your an idiot
yeah that doesn’t fly with me because I have dated women AND men. I am not a homophobe. Who the hell cares if you assault a cop? TONS of cops (not all, I have a few friends who are wonderful examples of cops) take advantage of their power and their badge every freaking day. What they need to do is treat them as regular people, if that was an average citizen throwing a dog down some steps and shooting it, you can BET they would have arrested his a**. It’s called an extreme double standard.
You do know there are dart guns that can put animals to sleep right? And you also know that cops carry tazers, which can completely debilitate a man, let alone a dog. I wonder why he didn’t use his stun gun? Because he didn’t care that is why. There were other options, he chose murder and cruelty and he knew he would escape blame because he has his “buddies” on the force to lie for him. Funny how the only people corroborating his story are on the force, most of the people who saw what happened didn’t even know the dog owner and were just stating what they saw. You bringing his sexual orientation into this, is f*ing sickening to me. It isn’t about orientation it is about right and wrong.
Fuck you Rod you fucking piece of shit.
Well Rod, I am not homophobic. My son is gay so the “officer’s” sexual orientation would not have been an issue. I still would have taken my chances with the law by doing whatever I could to stop this travesty. I would have attacked the “officer” to protect my pet. I would have accepted the consequences of my actions, just as this “officer” should be made to accept the consequences of his.
this makes me sick! does any one know if this pig is going down for this??
this made me VERY angry..i hate when a policman messes up badly and his comrades lie to back him up. the second cop who said the dog was charging at him is a peice of shit and the guy who shot the dog is going to get big karma.. i wish horrible tragedys for him
I am triely sorry that happened. That is absolutely horrific. I myself have two pitbulls that are extremely family orietented and I started crying reading this story. If I was there I would have jumped on that cops back and pummeled him!!!! I would say he should be shot but better yet this guy shouldbe thrownin jail for
Life for animal
Cruelty so he can sit in there and think about what a disgusting horrific person he is!!!!
I don’t get it. This dog attacked another dog without provocation in a public family venue. The article states the dog was a rescue dog so we really don’t know the dog’s bite history in spite of the owners stating that the dog was not vicious. The owner of those dogs who attacked and killed the woman in California also swore that the dog wasn’t vicious. If you are going to take your dog into the public, you need to be able to control the dogs behavior. The dog was seen as a threat and the knee jerk reaction that the officer was wrong seems to be an emotional response to an inflammatory reporting of the events.
Completely bizarre analogy. The people in Northern CA with the 2 dogs had trained them to kill and are both in prison. Dogs get in scraps all the time, believe me, if this dog was ‘vicious’ that smaller dog would be dead, or at the very least bleeding. Let’s call it what it was, police brutality plain and simple. Cops in this country need to be held accountable for their actions, there are a lot of bad eggs (as we just saw in Oakland) and this is just another example. All the cop had to do was call animal control or let the owner take the dog away. Jesus. It’s a disgusting travesty!
it was stated in the police report, and by other eyewitnesses, that Parrot had in fact attacked and injured the other dog. The dog was bleeding from his/her leg and Parrot’s nose was covered in blood.
Ya if you read the report it says Parrots nose was covered in blood from the small dog biting him!
yeah and in that same report there are like 50 spelling errors. I am not sure that it is real if you ask me
change.org has a petition going on now in regards to this sorry excuse of a cop
Your knee jerk reaction is to throw an animal down the stairs ? I was not there do not know what actually happened so I can not say he did not feel the need to pin the dog down but I am lost at why he would throw the dog down the stairs ????? And are people only ok with this because it was a pittbull? I mean had it been a golden retriever or a chihuahua would they still think it was ok ? WTF
What’s not to get??? First off you cannot say “this dog attacked another dog without provocation”, even the witnesses say it was unclear who started it. I understand that pit bulls CAN be aggressive and sometimes violent which is why I could understand the use of pepper spray or force to ensure his and others safety if the dog were out of control, but this was so unnecessary and malicious it makes me sick. How is pinning him down for several minutes, then throwing him over a railing and down stairs, THEN SHOOTING HIM IN THE NECK a justified response???!!!!
Furthermore and it’s not about “controlling your dog in public”, dogs are dogs, they get in little scraps all the time, especially poodles!! If this (possibly) violent & aggressive PIT BULL wanted to harm that little dog he would have done more than bite his paw, which is the only recorded injury.
Bottom line there is no excuse and there should be no forgiveness for this “officer of the law”.
Mega I agree with you. No way can it be justified to throw an animal over a railing and down the stairs. If that had been my dog that officer would be facing assault or murder charges for shooting me because no way would he have had a chance to shoot my dog. Its sad that so many people think dogs and cats etc. are just animals…they are family. So lets hope the officials do the right thing and penalize this jerk for his stupidity and pray he uses better sense when dealing with people.
There is no need of that. The cop should have never done that. If the dog was calming down then there was no need for the cop to pull that shit. HE is a cop he should know better than that. Shouldn’t he be the one to protect animals and humans from abuse, not be the one abusing. And Cops wounder why people cant stand then…
Kill the Cop. Cut his arms off, stuff his body in a bag and throw him in the ocean. This type of shit needs to stop now.
Bob is a probably a cop. He’s probably killed a dog. Bob’s life is probably sad and meaningless
Here’s an update posted on the site of the dog rescue that Parrot came from: http://www.luckydoganimalrescue.org/remembering-parrot
It’s dated 12/22/10, but the officer was found UNJUST in this actions and was placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.
I have emailed the rescue to see what the latest news was on the whole situation.
Looks like his precinct also thought it was reckless to be trigger happy – GOOD!
sign petition at change.org regarding this issue
That jerk cop should be fired!
He should be shot just like he shot the dog.
agreed.
I know that dogs are not a good idea to take to public places because this is what could happen, but it sounds like the dog fight was broken up and the cops over reacted. My dog is scared of a water bottle it doesn’t take a gun. I think something should be done about this, cops should not have the last word. They are the part of the community and work for us and not judge and executioners. I get they have a hard job and have to make quick decisions but this seems extreme. If this cop is not at least reprimanded then I have had it with society. There should be a petition started, lawsuit, complaint, anything. Don’t take this! When will they report what is being done about this?

COPS LIKE THAT IS WHAT GIVES COPS A BAD NAME!!!! WHAT AN IDIOT!!! HE NEEDS TO LOSE HIS JOB FOR THAT, SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS ISSUES WITH PITBULLS…WHEN HE IS THE ONE THAT SHOULD ADDRESS HIS OWN ISSUE WITHIN HIMSELF..
omg that is soooooooooo horrible for a human to treat an animal like that i cant believe he was allowed to get away with it he should be treated the same way he did that poor helpless dog and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Demand-Justice-for-Parott/144103335631240 This happened in Washington, the dog was a Rescue dog by the name of Parott, the biting and snapping claimed was an unsupported accusation, even the police report stated that the officer had a mere scratch, witness said the dogs handler had him under control just before the Officer pushing him aside and jumped on the dog. As you see by the photo the dog wasn’t going anywhere, but it wasn’t enough for the officer as he picked up the dog and THREW him down a flight of stairs, the dog was dazed (according to witnesses) and was shot by the officer, THIS IS NOT AN OCCUPY PHOTO..this is a Washington Officer abusing a dog, and furthermore ask the other person whose poodle lashed out and began the whole mess..I don’t see officers sitting on that dog
does the fact that the incident happened last year or years before make it any less of a crime? no.
FUCK THIS COP AND ANYONE SUPPORTING HIM, MAY HE DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH IN FRONT OF HIS FAMILY! AND TO THE MORON SAYING THAT NO ANIMAL LIFE SHOULD COME BEFORE A HUMAN LIFE.. YOU ARE A IDIOT!
something tells me you should be in jail.
I’m not for the killing of the dog, but your mentality, if real, is far worse than the cop’s actions
Something tells me he or she HAS been in jail, and probably for crimes of extreme violence. I love animals and I wish this pit bull thing had been handled differently, but God, people!? Read your suggestions about what should be done to the police, and then tell me how humane you are. ”May he die a horrible death in front of his family!” ”Kill the Cop. Cut his arms off, stuff his body in a bag and throw him in the ocean.” ”He should be shot just like he shot the dog.” What in hell is wrong with you people? I think I’d feel safer living next door to the cop.
Are you twelve, or something? Take a deep breath and realize the irony in your brutal, knee-jerk outburst there.

Fucking, pig.
thank you for that
I would of definitely stepped in. Cop or not , gun or spray or whatever. We as humans are simply that , humans. He is not a humane person and this proves it. Take him down !
GOOD ON THE OFFICER
Do not expect police to put their health and safety ahead of a dog…It took 4 policeman to get the dog and even then it was snapping at them trying to bite them…who knows the dog could of had rabies or anything. So GOOD ON THE OFFICER for putting it down. The dog should of been on a lead and controlled by its owners in the first place, AT NOT TIME should the life of a animal come before that of a human!!!!!!
I CANT BELIEVE U WOULD EVEN STAND UP FOR THAT DIPSHIT. IT WAS WRONG THAT DAMN POLICE OFFICER DID THAT. ANIMAL ABUSE! I GUESS U LIKE ANIMAL ABUSE!
yur a sick man. DONT U UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY DID TO THE POOR ANIMAL?
Bob you have no clue about dogs. Next time this could happen to you. I’ll step back and let the cop beat on you. Just because the guy is a cop does not make him superior to us. He had no right to do what he did. If the guy had any smarts, he would have known the dust up was over and we could all move on. he was EXCESSIVE in his reaction and all those that backed him up were saving their own asses as well as his! Their asses since they since they allowed an out of control cop be on the force. So Bob, pray you don’t run into a ASS like this cop, and all his buddies.
Bob, you are wrong. It did not take four policemen to get the dog. The owner should not have brought the dog to the event, but the police officer should not have thrown the dog down 12 steps, and shot him. The cop’s actions are outrageous and unacceptable.
fuck you bob. you’re most likely the stupidest person i have had interactions with this year. congratulations you’re a dumbass. I hope you read this you dipshit.
Bob: Quit being an asshole and look at both sides of the story.
Everyone hating on Bob: Quit being assholes and look at both sides of the story.
Bob- this event was an opportunity for dogs to be shown & adopted- you jerk. No 4 dirtbags- I mean coos- had to subdue the dog. I wanna see a teacher subdue YOUR kid for snapping at a classmate- then let’svtalk about necessary force. Jerk.
Rabies? Seriously? It was with a rescue for God sake, rabies doesn’t fit into that equation. Uneducated thing to say. Yeah,let’s just kill all the dogs who look at us the wrong way or even worse, have a personality that we’re not willing to deal with. As a trainer myself, there are a hundred ways this could have been dealt with and this was the #1 worst most knee-jerk way to do it. We are a gun crazy society and our cops are out of control. Oakland, case in point.
It’s a terrible thing that happened, but as you say, you are a trainer who knows “a hundred ways.” This was a dreadful way to deal with the situation, for sure, but I seriously doubt that police are trainers with “a hundred ways” to calm freaked-out dogs in a packed crowd situation of possible victims. They have to use what judgment skills they have acquired, most of which have to do with criminal human beings, not dogs, and do so rapidly. Of course, they can be tragically wrong, but I don’t think it’s proof that “our cops are out of control.”
Where in the heck are you getting your info…???? HELLO….1ST) it DID NOT take 4 policeman to get the dog; 2ND) the dog was under control by Block when Fike threw him to the side stating he knew how to handle the matter~~YEA RIGHT; 3RD) the poodle owner also made statement it was her poodle that FIRST bit Parrot on the face~~Parrot was NOT the first to act!; 4th) Parrot WAS on a lead but it was removed!! JUST
BECAUSE FIKE WEARS A BADGE DOESN’T MAKE HIM ABOVE THE LAW…PERIOD!!! What if the bullet ricocheted in that crowded situation and killed someone! For those who feel Parrot deserves justice and charges should be enforced, please go to change.org and sign the petition!
Why was the dog not on a leash? Did the owner take it off (illegal and stupid) or was it removed during the altercation? Just wondering.
During the altercation.
So this dog incident happened over a year ago but apparently thanx to this irresponsible post it’s being spread across Facebook as an Occupy incident. Bad move You petty fool.
the first statement of the piece is that the photo is from 2010, and then i make the point that it was being shared now with peoples anger after the violence of the police with the people involved with occupy oakland. all that is in the opening sentence. can you not read sarah???? are you stupid???? or are you trolling???? steve gray
wtf? the first statement is this is from 2010, and then that it is being spread again in the wake of the violence of the cops at occupy oakland….that seems very clear are you slow?
From 2010??
What does this have to do with Occupy Oakland??
Where did this happen??
Could You please share the source material??
Three cops standing around watching a fourth one brutally kill a dog.
The people standing around should have jumped on that cop and beat him to a pulp. How could they stand by and do NOTHING to help the dog?
Would they have let him do that to a child?
Probably.
Yes, assaulting an officer with his gun out is a totally smart idea that won’t get you shot or arrested, not to mention tarnish the credibility of people arguing in the dog’s favor. Go right ahead and throw yourself on that sword, emove yourself from the gene pool, and leave the rational thinking to the people who actually know how to solve problems without making them worse.
Also, a child can’t fuck you up with its bare teeth, so no, I don’t think he would have pulled his gun on a kid in the first place, rendering that argument invalid.
so cops should just get to do what they want, and we can worry about it later? sounds liek a good plan sir!

Oy Vey, if I saw someone hurting you and about to murder you, it would not cross my mind,nor should it,that I might go to jail for stopping them. If you saw someone doing this to your own dog,wouldnt you put a stop to it? It shoulnt matter if it is someone who is suposed to be in a position of power,or if the someone being hurt doesnt share your DNA. What should matter is helping someone who cant help themself.

Please tell me you don’t encourage your children or other people you care about to attack armed police in a high-pressure situation. If you do, don’t worry — you won’t have to pay for college. Good God, what an incredibly stupid recipe for disaster.
