An Idaho cop murdered a dog in its own front yard while serving an arrest warrant on a compliant citizen after officers took advantage of a door left ajar.
The arrest warrant turned into a death warrant for the beloved family pet named Targaryan.
Now Caldwell police are threatening to charge an innocent woman with “having a vicious animal at large.”
And they sent her a $200 bill before they’ll release the remains of her deceased beloved pet dog.
Missouri cops were caught on camera killing a family dog after knocking on a door of a residence and fearing for their lives when the dog came running out to greet them.
Or as they call it, “lunged” at them.
The surveillance video shows Sierra, a rescue dog, did not act any differently than many dogs do when strangers come knocking on the door; a little excited and curious, but probably not planning to do anything but sniff the cop.
Usually, all it takes is to allow the dog to sniff your hand to put it at ease, then pet it. Dogs are not very hard to win over.
A California cop left his K9 partner in their police cruiser during the brutal summer heat only to return from ‘patrolling at home’ when “Idol” the dog died from heat exhaustion.

That shut off the air conditioning.
It was 90 degrees outside.
Tragedy ensued.
An officer died in the line of duty, the perpetrator is known.
A Tennessee prison guard was arrested for animal cruelty last week after leaving his service dog in the car for almost five hours with the windows rolled up and the air conditioner turned off.
Robert Strickland also left no water for Kilo, his K9 partner, as temperatures outside soared to 88 degrees, meaning that temperatures inside the vehicle reached 130 degrees – hot enough to cause hyperthermia in mammals, causing organ failure and death.
Strickland is a guard at the Hardeman County Correctional Facility, a privately owned minimum security prison outside Memphis.
A Detroit woman filed a lawsuit last week after Detroit cops serving a search warrant entered her home looking for marijuana shot and killed her three passive dogs, then turned to her and said, “I should have killed you, too.”

A federal judge in Texas ruled in favor of a plaintiff in a case against an officer who admitted a man’s dog didn’t pose a threat before he shot and killed it.
Austin police officer Daniel Walsh said Shiner Bock, the dog, “was just kinda walking at me, he wasn’t, he didn’t, I mean . . .’before breaking off the end of his sentence,” an officer at the scene heard him say, according to the lawsuit.
PINAC’s national investigator Felipe Hemming, obtained the full-video of an NYPD cop shooting a tail-wagging dog when they arrived the wrong apartment after receiving a domestic violence call at another nearby apartment.
“He died wagging his tail,” Yvonna Rosado told New York Daily News.
Other media outlets edited out the time between Cuesta shooting the dog and Rosado tripping down the stairs.
But we think it’s important to see in order to understand the graphic nature and the actual scope of police abuse.
The video of an NYPD cop killing a dog, whose tail was obviously wagging in front of its apartment is going viral.
Yvonne Rosado was dancing with her dog, Spike, when she heard something outside her New York apartment.
And opened the door.
When she looked past the threshold, her dog walked out wagging its tail onto the landing.
That, made NYPD officer Ruben Cuesta ‘fear for his life.’
So, he shot Spike right in the head.
Deliberately.
An off-duty Virginia State Trooper was charged with animal cruelty and discharging a firearm in a public place, only after police issued a reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect responsible for the fatal shooting of a pit bull.
Virginia trooper Christopher Daniel Campbell was charged in the puppycide, which the owner described as ‘cold hearted.’
Initially, local Manassas Police officers responded to calls from neighbors about gunshots.
