Narcotics Officer Shoots Police Dog

It's just instinct with cops

An agent with the Southeast Mississippi Metropolitan Enforcement Team shot a police K-9 while serving a search warrant Tuesday night, Moss Point Police Chief Keith Davis said.

The dog, a female Malinois named Cora, is 2 years old, Davis said, and the shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday inside a home in the 2900 block of Woodlawn Avenue.

Davis described the incident as an accident.

"The veterinarian said she's expected to make a full recovery," Davis said. "She is going to be off duty for 14 days."

They just can't stop themselves, can they?

Under stress, they fall back on their training.

So if you or I accidentally shot a police dog we'd be looking at attempted murder at the very least. What do you wanna bet they just say it OK when cops do it?

[BarryD]

My thought, exactly.

Serves her right, working with such dangerous beasts...I refer of course to the dog's decision to work with Narcs...

I suppose it's a lucky thing that it was a dog that tugged on his clothes and not a 2 year old kid...
