    GARDAI were forced to shoot a dog twice when the animal attempted to attack officers as a drugs raid was carried out.

    The dog, believed to be a bullmastiff, was shot twice by an armed officer during the raid at Coburg Place, in Dublin 1.

    As a result of the operation, earlier today, €5,000 cannabis herb was found and a man in his 40s arrested.

    Although the dog was very hostile towards officers, attempts were made to save the animal.

    The dog was taken from the scene but died while he was getting treatment in the veterinary clinic.

    As an official firearm was discharged the incident has been notified to the Garda Síochana Ombudsman Commission.”

    So when’s the protest and vigil for this dog?

    All seriousness though, a GSOC investigation into the shooting of a dog? This is nothing more than embezzlement of our tax money. If it was a suspect who was shot and killed, fair enough, but it’s a ****ing animal. Who will be footing the veterinary bill? No doubt us, the taxpayers.

    I'd say it's related to the discharging of a firearm more than what was shot.

    Can a taser not disable a person or a dog? Remember that African lad they shot recently, would a taser not have stopped him?

    It’s probably an investigation into discharging a weapon, the fact an animal was killed is immaterial really.

    From what I hear he was indeed the lead suspect.

    It's 100% because shots were fired. A Garda firearm could be fired at a tree in the middle of the forest and it'd automatically result in a GSOC investigation. This IMO is absolutely how police use of firearms should be handled, there are other countries which could learn a lot of lessons from the seriousness in which Ireland regards the firing of any bullet for any reason by a member of our police.

    They should have called in the dog whisperers and social workers and tried to reason with the dog. I bet you it was a brown dog too. Anyone for a vigil/ riot

    As a dog-lover, this is another reason cannabis should be legal.

    A drug dealer and a bull mastiff dog ...

    I don't think I've ever seen a decent person with a breed like that, the poor dog is always an accessory to the hard-man act.

    If they weren't selling weed they'd be robbing cash in transit vans or something else. Their houses would still be being raided. Their pit bulls would still be going for trigger happy cop's ball sacks. Canine blood is getting spilled either way.

    you can't predict the future, unless u have a crystal ball, but even if you're correct, we would have a redundant drug squad to pursue them for those nefarious activities. Also, could we not prevent people like them owning a dog?
