A police officer killed while responding to a domestic disturbance in a small eastern Pennsylvania borough had pointed a stun gun at two dogs before being shot, court records reveal.
Freemansburg police officer Robert Lasso had pointed at the attacking dogs when the homeowner pulled out a shotgun and fired the fatal blast on Thursday evening.
In police custody, the alleged gunman, 46-year-old George Hitcho Jr, said he had told Mr Lasso to get off his property and not come on unless he had a warrant, authorities said.

Good for him. It's going to take a few of these before we can avoid a police state.
ReplyDeleteThe police goon should not have tried to shoot the man's dogs. If the goon had behave himself, he would still be alive.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of funny, how $4it-bag criminals hide behind freedom, the constitution and anarchy when they are caught doing something criminal AND THEN ARE FIRST in line screaming for help when someone else commits a criminal act against themselves! too bad police can't pick and choose who we help.
