Officer Fike is seen in the photo driving his knee into Parrots back while stretching Parrots legs behind him, as one would do with an armed criminal.
Without waiting to determine whether this technique would calm Parrot, Officer Fike grabbed Parrot, lifted him off the ground, and brought him to the top of the concrete staircase, according to reports.
Officer Fike then threw Parrot over the banister, down twelve steps, and onto the concrete floor, according to eyewitnesses at the scene.
Then, Fike stood at the top of the stairs, drew his weapon, and shot Parrot to death.

There were no charges, there was no trial, and at this point, I'm sure the statute of limitations has long-since passed: like it or not, dogs (and cats, and cows, and goats, and gerbils) are considered property under the law.
