Police run over dog, a number of times

[Catherine]

This is a shocking incident. The police were called out because of a possible coyote sighting. They are seen to drive along the street. They came across a dog that had escaped from its back yard. They deliberately ran it over multiple times before they shot it. They thought it was a coyote.

Two things, they killed and animal without confirming what it was and they were supposed to kill the coyote humanely. What they did was not a humane killing.
The dog in question was 20 years old, deaf and mostly blind. This was an old gentle dog. Nothing she did could have been considered threatening. I really feel for the dog's owner. She has to live with the loss and the knowledge that it was a cruel kill.

I don't think the dog looked like a coyote at all.
