police, pit bulls, and excessive force
Police kill pit bull after it bites Redding man
Some question RPD's actions after dog is shot, run over

By Lauren Brooks (Contact)
Thursday, July 12, 2007

A calm, sultry morning erupted in gunfire Wednesday as Redding police vainly attempted to corral a pit bull who had bitten a resident.

Before morning's end, the escaped dog had been shot with pepper spray, a stun gun, twice with a 12-gauge shotgun and run over -- twice -- by a police car.

The dog, Soldier, lay dead in a driveway on Oakmont Drive north of Old Alturas Road in east Redding.

Late Wednesday afternoon, police released a synopsis of the shooting that repeatedly described the dog as a vicious animal and said that Soldier also had attempted to bite an officer.

1. pit bull flame fests go on everywhere it appears.
or is it that people never get tired of seeing their righteous indignation on display for all to see?
