But I just found out this past week it happened to two close friends of my girlfriend. A couple that I've met and hung out with on multiple occasions.. Their devastated and I need some advice from NES.
I don't have ALL the details yet because I found out late last night, waiting for one of them to call me back. But pretty sure it was Wednesday. The police were called to the house in (Pretty sure it's in Wilbraham, MA) over a domestic dispute. Shit happens. They police showed up and sent an officer down the back of the house before they even went to the front door. The yard is completely fenced in. The officer tried to get into the back yard and their Pitt Bull was out there... In a fenced in back yard... Their dog started barking at the fence line and the cop drew down and shot it in the neck. The dog turned around and starting running for the house and while the dog was in full sprint towards the back door, running away from the cop, he shot him again. Killing him in his own back yard. Just because he was barking from inside of a fenced in yard.
This is complete bullshit. I know we read these stories all the time, but who thinks that nonsense like this is going to happen to someone you know? What can they do? Is there ANY chance of this cop facing repercussions? Idk if they have the money right now to lawyer up. They're a young couple living in a house their parents gifted to them before they moved. Money isn't exactly flowing. I figured NES would have some idea of what the next step is. There wasn't so much as a local newspaper story over it. They wrote the news stations and haven't gotten a response yet. They've started a facebook group that has 2,000 people in it and it's numbers are climbing.
I just want to help.
