“So I get to bury my dog because an officer couldn’t back up and close the f—— gate.”
The dog was inside the owner’s fenced in backyard when an officer climbed the fence in a neighborhood search for a lost child. The officer claims he felt threatened by Geist although there are no reports that the dog attacked the officer. He then shot and killed the dog.
