I found this story highly messed up I mean common >:L REALLY!? So I want to share it with you I got it from Here

 

COMMERCE CITY - An officer who fatally shot a dog in Commerce City will face charges, The Adams County District Attorney announced Thursday.

Commerce City Police Officer Robert Price was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, a class-six felony.

Price shot and killed a dog named Chloe on Nov. 24 after he says the animal showed aggressive behavior. The charges come three weeks after the Commerce City Police Department requested the District Attorney's Office to conduct an independent investigation into the shooting.
 

Commerce City Police initially released this statement reading in part, "An animal-control agent was able to place a 'catch pole' around the dog's neck. The pit bull remained extremely agitated and continued to attempt to attack the animal-control agent. Due to the dog's size and aggressive demeanor, it could not be controlled on the catch pole. For the safety of the animal-control agent and the community, a police officer shot and killed the dog."
 

A neighbor said from what he saw and from what a video of the incident shows, the dog was simply trying to run away scared.

"I totally disagree with it, totally," Kenny Collins said. "The dog was not attacking people, and that's not what I said when I called 911." Police reports will be released at the conclusion of the investigation.

Commerce City released the following statement in response to report:

"Commerce City places the highest value on the safety and well being of our community, its people and their property. This was a tragic event and our thoughts have been and continue to be with the owner during this difficult time. We want to thank District Attorney Don Quick and his staff for conducting an impartial investigation. Out of respect for the employee's right to a fair trial and the integrity of the judicial process, it is not appropriate for us to comment or speculate on the DA's investigation.

As a result of the charges filed, the officer has been placed on administrative leave. The city asked the Douglas County Sheriff's Office to complete the administrative review to determine if any city policies were violated. Commerce City is committed to making sure our employees are well trained and prepared to respond to unpredictable emergency situations, while ensuring the safety and well being of our community. We look forward to Douglas County's objective conclusions and will work with the incoming police chief to take the appropriate next steps to positively move the police department forward and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future."
