ATLANTA -- A southwest Atlanta woman wants the city to fork up $5,000 to cover vet bills she incurred after a police officer shot her dog while chasing a drug suspect.

Tracy Dummett said her pit bull mix named Veruca was in the back yard last October when an officer chased a drug suspect over the fence into Dummett's back yard. Dummett said Veruca started barking and frightened off the officer, who shot the dog four times.
Dummett said she submitted Veruca’s vet bills to the city in March for compensation but told Channel 2 Action News reporter Richard Elliot that the city’s law department recently issued a recommendation for denial.
Through the mayor's office, the law department issued a statement saying that after reviewing the facts and the law, the officer did nothing wrong, so the city is not responsible for compensating Dummett for the vet bills.
Despite the recommendation for denial, it is up to the Atlanta City Council to decide whether it will grant the claim or not. Council member Joyce Shepard told Elliot that she has delayed a vote on the issue in hopes of the law department changing its mind.

Ok, let me get this straight (yeah, I'm damn good and pissed after reading this). Image

The officer goes into the woman's yard (while chasing a suspect, but that doesn't change the fact that HE WENT INTO HER YARD FOR NO FAULT OF HERS OR THE DOGS), gets scared by her dog which is not happy that two grown men just came jumping into the yard, and shoots the pooch?

WHATTHEMOTHER....yeah, you know what, this isn't going to go anywhere productive with the mood this kind of shit puts me in.

ETA - SEVERELY edited for content...too many f-bombs for even my taste in my original post. Not that I think it isn't deserved.

But that'd be the same city that won't give the lady a permit for a fenc e that woulda kept the two thugs from hopping her fence. Oh, how I miss the compound "fences" in Africa - 6' or 8' block walls capped in concrete inbedded with broken glass shards while the concrete cap was still wet. So bright and colorful the sun glinting on the multi-colored glass in the morning.

Officer yellow leg should be dropped on pungi stakes :evil:
