Readers not buying Ridgewood Police officer’s defense of Wyckoff dog Shooting

Reader says , There is so much wrong with your editorial I don’t know where to begin.

It was a fenced in yard and the policeman was a stranger. He had a choice: run. Get the hell out of the yard. Or would that be too detrimental to the tough guy image?

Are you saying that people should not allow their dogs to roam their fenced in yards now? The dogs should be confined to the house? Is there a particular room inside the house where the dog should be sequestered?

Your fantasy about the cop saving a child from a fierce beast holds no water. If the kid was from the neighborhood, the dog would have known him. If there was a trespasser in the yard, then good.

I only hope, officer Elwood, that when you find a group of kids smoking a joint behind starbucks some night, and they all scatter, you realize that you do have a choice other than to shoot the slower ones.

  1. Monday morning quarterbacking by people who sit in there recliners and watching CSI.

  2. I just have one question for the poster. Did they ever try to out run a GSD? Try it sometime and let us know how you make out.

  3. I believe the dog owner stated in comments online that they found a spent cartridge further away from where the shooting occurred , which he claimed differed from the officers account of where it happened. If this is the case then the neighbors accounts, which supposedly differ from the officers need to be investigated by someone other than the local pd.

  4. Unions now blaming the home owners and the deadly force of the GSD bite…. The officer is apparently blameless!

  5. Officer claimed he knocked.

    I guess the dog was deaf?

    The main problem here is that the officer’s story is clearly not adding up. In other words, he is lying. He f**ked, up, and instead of issuing a mea culpa, he is lying to save face.

  6. officers story is holding up.
