So no weapon was found, why did the police shoot?

The police killed one of their own and now blame someone else.

Thats good logic...get blamed for something you had no control over. If the man had no weapon,why then did the police shoot?

People, re-read the story. It does seem that this was a case of Friendly Fire. Tragic nonehtless. But this is our system, Lewis did do something wrong. But, now in addition to the crimes he is guilty of.. He'll be charged with the shooting death of the Dog, which it seems he might not have done himeself. Not sure it's fair, but legal with the way the laws are written.

My heart goes out to Deputy Wengert, I am sorry you lost what I am sure was your best friend.

Oozi did a lot of good for Broward County helping stop that many criminals, I am sure he will be missed by your whole police station.

The story states:
"...The girlfriend told police she saw he had a gun so she got her own and chased him off with a few gunshots."

W T F isn't that against the law? Random in the air gunshots or in the vicinity gunshots? shouldn't she get a ticket or something for that?

F*CK THE POLICE AND THEIR DOGS. THE STATE CLASSIFIES DOGS AS PROPERTY NOT AS LIVING BEINGS SO HOW CAN THEY CHARGE HIM WITH MURDER OF AN OFFICER. THIS SHOULD BE LIKE IF U BROKE THEIR NIGHTSTICK OR GUN NOT KILLING AN OFFICER. THESE TRUMPED UP CHARGES ARE B.S. BESIDES WHY IS A K-9 OFFICER INVOLVED IN A POLICE CHASE HE SHOULD BE SEARCHING THE PORT OF MIAMI FOR DRUGS AND GUNS NOT CHASING PEOPLE ITS A WASTE OF POLICE RESOURCES. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD BEAGLE AT HOME AND I LOVE DOGS BUT I CAN'T STAND THESE DIRTY PIGS AND THEY USE THEIR DOGS TO ATTACK PEOPLE. I HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND SOMEONE LAYING ON THE GROUND AND SURRENDERING WITH THEIR HANDS AND LEGS SPREAD ONLY TO HAVE A POLICE DOG JUMP ON THEM AND BITE THEM WHILE THE OFFICER CUFFS THEM . HE WAS SCREAMING TO HAVE THE DOG PULLED OFF BUT THE COP DID NOTHING IN FACT HE LAUGHED AT HIM AND TOLD HIS DOG TO GET HIM. NO LIE I SAW IT FIRST HAND AND PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH THE OFFICERS SUPERIORS. POLICE USE THESE DOGS TO ATTACK PEOPLE WHO ARE VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP . THEY SHOUD ONLY BE USED TO FIND A HIDING SUSPECT OR HIDDEN GUNS AND DRUGS , NOT IN POLICE CHASES WHERE THEY COULD BE KILLED. THEY SHOULD BE REINFORCEMENTS NOT FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE. ALSO THE SUSPECT DIDNT HAVE A GUN SO THE COPS KILLED THE DOG IT WAS FRIENDLY FIRE BUT NOW THE SUSPECT WILL BE CHARGES WITH SOME BOGUS CHARGE NICE SYSTEM WE HAVE HUH? OH AND SAY WHATEVER U ALL WANT ABOUT ME I COULD CARE LESS. IM AND @$$HOLE AND I APPROVED THIS MESSAGe.

Too bad one of those cowards that where a badge did not get the lead that the poor dog did . That dog has no clue that they are put in harms way.The pigs shot that dog.Not the fleeing criminal. Men can deside to take the job .Dogs are trained to do what pleases their masters. Another screw up by the bso . Bunch of criminals themselves.

Using dogs to chase criminals is very wrong . If we should not use animals in testing chemicals how can we use them in this fashion protecting those fat donut eating cowards.Otherwise known as criminals or bso cops.

Why wasn't Oozi wearing the dog bullet proof vests that different groups donated to BSO? Maybe it could have saved his life.

Dear Mental Midget,
He is not being charged with murdering an officer as you stated. He is being charged with killing a police dog. Yes, legally a dog is property, which is why in a divorce, one person gets the pet and there is no joint custody, however just as killing a manatee or intentionally running over a duck is a crime, so is killing a police dog.
What do you mean why is K-9 in a police chase and not at a port? Almost every law enforcement agency in the country has a policy on chases which includes the LEAD CHASE vehicle be a K9. Why, because obviously, 9 times out of 10, the suspect runs. Don't believe me, watch cops. Also, considering that you "were close enough to witness first hand" someone giving up and where the suspects hands were and hear what he was saying, I assume that you are an upstanding citizen who does not break the law.
My thought and prayers with BSO and this dog's handler.

We dont use animals in testing chemicals for cosmetics but we do to cure cancer. Horses don't pull carriages? Bomb sniffing dogs shouldn't be used at airports? You get your milk only from your mother's tit? Give me a break. A Law enforcement dog knows his job, enjoys the work, and is never happier than when he finds a suspect or a narcotic. You are right, the german shepard would have been better off if he were adopted by the thug suspect and chained to the table as a prop where he plays dominos.
Whatever you did that makes you dislike BSO, these men and women are your front line. They are the ones that need to put their arses on the line despite the danger. If one of these deputies lives has been saved by a dog finding a suspect how can you not agree. How many people fled and hid and were cought by K-9's? If they hadn't been, what's preventing that suspect from raping your sister or stealing your stash of meth?

supposedly the deputy that shot the K9 had an accidental discharge a while back. BUT fear not, everyone that fired their weapons will be rewarded a pin from BSO. These deputies/officers need more firearms training instead of rewards for MISSED shots. You would be suprised how many deputies FAIL qualifications the first time around. All shots are from 15 yards and in (a majority of the qualification is from less than 5 yards away). Kinda sad when you carry a gun with you 40 hours a week.
