County Police, D.A. To Investigate Police Shooting
“It was a b.b. gun. He shot the dog with a bb gun, shot him twice in the head. That was crazy.”
The investigation continues into what prompted a Pittsburgh police officer to shoot and kill a 19-year-old man in Mount Oliver Tuesday evening.
Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper says the actions of his officers were justified but the victim's family thinks the police went too far.
Police officers noticed 19 year-old Justin Jackson and thought he had a gun concealed in his clothing.
The canine officer and his dog along with another officer approached Jackson and ordered him to remove his concealed hand so it could be seen. Read more

Why is it that these young punks- hoods if you will, always try to out think the police. Why was the thug carrying a weapon in the first place? I'm sure it wasn't a bb gun like the "witness " said. He ,no doubt, was a partner in crime ,trying to make the police look like the bad guys.And lastly why is it that the nettlesome parents of these hoods always say what perfect little angels their kids are.-why they wouldn't be toaten a gun. I mourn for the dog. I hope he left deep teeth marks before he died.

If Donald Jackson's son would have just lifted his hands from under his shirt without the damn bb gun like the police asked we wouldn't be having this sob fest.

Some people need to get in touch with reality and stop defending the person doing wrong here! This crap about police planting weapons on him is absurd. Some will look for any lame excuse to blame the police. You must have a twisted mentality to blame the people upholding the law and excuse and condone the actions of the person doing wrong.
This 19 year old was not carrying a .357 magnum to make a fashion statement. Seems to me, he was looking for trouble. The police may have kept him from killing another person. All he had to do was comply with the police, but he didn't. It's really lame to try to justify shooting a police dog. If he would have dropped his weapon, that dog would not have harmed him, and neither would the police. It is not sick to think of this police dog as more important than some low life disobeying the law repeatedly and having no regard for innocent life. I'm so sick and tired of police officers getting the blame for everything, and the parents are condoning and excusing their kids actions. He had previous offenses, yet his parents think he can do no wrong. I say let the police officers do their job. They have a responsibility to uphold the law and a right to defend themselves. I'll tell you what's ***backwards, people condoning and excusing what this 19 year old did (also had a prior record), and criticizing the police for doing their job. My condolences to the officers for the loss of Aulf. A faithful and loyal officer to the end. God keep you in His care. |

Actually, it was Al (Dixie Peach) Sharpton and his ilk that killed the 19 year old along with any others that die. It works like this, if you buy into crap Al spreads that you are persecuted and owed a free ride in life, it's OK to rob, sell drugs or anything else, then your time on earth may be limited. It's better to be a dog than a snot covered, glassy-eyed, brain dead N-word, but thats just my opinion. |

1 I'll tell you what is disgusting is that Jackson, and there are many like him...had a long criminal record and should have been behind bars. No, they get a slap on the wrist and let out of jail in no time, and are a big problem for the police. The police are weary of these repeat offenders and they are violent offenders. It's been on the news about thugs being let out of jail and the very next week, they are breaking the law again. You, of all people should realize the value and status of the police dog. They are considered an officer of the law. Aside from that, the police did not shoot Jackson because he shot the police dog, although, they would have been justified in doing so. Their lives were in danger. I and many others feel that the life of this special dog is more important than that of people that are bent of doing evil and taking other people's lives. Mt. Oliver x2 stated in a comment on one of these articles about how terrible the situation is where she lives. The thugs burglarizing homes, carrying guns and dealing drugs..is really terrible and that the streets need to be cleaned of these people. Sadly, this is a big problem across the country. It is really troubling when people condone criminal behavior and criticize those trying to uphold the law. |
