Florida: Cop Tries To Kill Innocent Family’s Dog – Shoots Himself In The Foot Instead

Putnam County, FL — Proportionately, cops kill far more dogs than they do people. It’s quite a strange phenomena because postal workers, UPS drivers, and food delivery drivers don’t seem to have the same problems with dogs like cops do. It’s so devious, the killing of family pets by those sworn to serve and protect the public, we actually keep an archive of stories of cops killing man’s best friend. But one cop learned the hard way shooting a dog can be dangerous. He shot himself instead of the dog.
Chris Crenshaw, of Putnam County, had committed no crime and had harmed no one when a Putnam County deputy came to his home, walked into his gated yard and knocked on the front door before attempting to kill his dog.
Police were reportedly looking for a person who’d ran away from home. When the deputy knocked at the door, Crenshaw’s dog ran outside and police claim it charged the officer.
That’s when the deputy opened fire. Luckily for the dog, however, the deputy shot himself in the foot instead and the dog is fine. News 4 JAX reports that according to the Sheriff’s Office, the deputy reached for his gun to shoot the dog, but the dog moved out of the way and the deputy accidentally shot himself in the foot.
If readers think I get sappy and emotional from time to time, there is good reason.
I am a sucker for a happy ending. This one brought tears to my eyes.
Woof says the bad dog. Bite him! Bite him!

So I’m guessing the deputy didn’t have a warrant to enter Mr. Crenshaw’s curtilage? “…walked into his gated yard…”.
Wikipedia says:
“…Curtilage
In common law, the curtilage of a house or dwelling is the land immediately surrounding it, including any closely associated buildings and structures, but excluding any associated “open fields beyond”, and also excluding any closely associated buildings, structures, or divisions that contain the separate intimate activities of their own respective occupants with those occupying residents being persons other than those residents of the house or dwelling of which the building is associated. It delineates the boundary within which a home owner can have a reasonable expectation of privacy and where “intimate home activities” take place.
It is an important legal concept in certain jurisdictions for the understanding of search and seizure, conveyancing of real property, burglary, trespass, and land use planning. …”
USLegal.com says this:
“…Curtilage is the immediate, enclosed area surrounding a house or dwelling.
The U.S. Supreme Court noted in United States v. Dunn, 480 U.S. 294 (1987), that curtilage is the area immediately surrounding a residence that “harbors the `intimate activity associated with the sanctity of a man’s home and the privacies of life.”
Curtilage, like a house, is protected under the fourth amendment from “unreasonable searches and seizures.” …”.
Something to consider.
A locked gate would be very like a locked door. IMHO

Cops love shooting dogs almost as much as they love donuts, early retirement, sick leave, and fat government pensions…
