Caught on Video: Furious Man Confronts Police Officers After a Cop Entered His Private Property and Shot His ‘Best Friend’ in the Head

Sean Kendall began filming just moments after he learned that police had entered his private property and fatally shot his 2-year-old Weimaraner in the head.

In the gut-wrenching video, Kendall says he was called by animal control and informed that police entered his fenced in yard and shot his dog. When he arrived home, he confronted the officers and demanded to know what had happened.


“What was the probable cause to trespass on private property and kill my dog?,” Kendall asks in the video.

“We were looking for a lost child,” one of the officers replies, later adding, “He entered the yard looking for a lost child. He was threatened by the dog and shot the dog. That’s as simple as it gets.”

Later in the video, Kendall tells officers they will be hearing from his attorney.

“I know it wasn’t you personally, but you guys killed my dog! I’ve had this dog for three years, he was my best friend! And he was shot, because an officer couldn’t back the f*** up out of my house,” he screamed.

Kendall told the officers there is a problem with police killing people’s animals and “something’s got to change.”

“What happened was wrong!” he yelled before dropping the camera.

TheBlaze contacted the Salt Lake City Police Department on Thursday and we were directed to a statement that indicates an investigation into the officer’s actions is underway:

During the search for the missing child, a dog unfortunately was shot by a responding officer. The department regrets the unfortunate outcome of this incident. As with any firing of a service weapon, the department’s Internal Affairs Unit is conducting a review to determine whether the shooting conformed to policy. While the investigation has yet to be completed, the following is an account of what is known at this time:

Officers were searching nearby structures and yards for the missing child from Fillmore Street. Informed that the child was largely non-verbal and likely would not respond to calls by name, officers began to search the neighborhood. Officers knocked on the door of this address and received no answer. Given the urgency to find the child, an officer entered the back yard to see if he had possibly wandered back there. After entering the backyard, the officer encountered a dog that approached him in an aggressive manner. The officer, in turn, shot the dog. An investigation as to whether the officer’s actions conformed to policy is underway by the Internal Affairs Unit.
 
messed up.

but the fact that they were searching for a missing child lends a bit of leeway. If they thought the child was in immediate danger, they can pretty much search where they want and do whatever necessary to recover the child.

I don't know the specific Utah laws, but odds are they were there completely legal because of the missing child.

And if not odds are it was completely legal because it was a cop.

And the cops who beat rodney king were acquited.
 
People make bad calls, we all did at some point. The officer responsible for the killing was obviously looking to help someone, and in hope of being helpful, decided to trespass. After this step, anything could have happened, the officer could have found a fucking meth lab and wiggle its way out of property. Turns out something jumped at him and a blind reaction ensued. You can tell from the video they already felt ashamed, why add the drama?

I don't think that evidence, as blatant as it is, would hold weight in court. He didn't have a warrant. Evidence acquired illegally can't be used.

Yeah the guy was like oh well my dogs dead, they feel bad, let me just be super dramatic.

This kind of shit happening says that it doesn't really matter what you do, you're a cop so you had good intentions and everything is alright.

I'm not saying that he went back there hoping to find somebody's dog to kill, but come on. What about the guy who's at work and somebody enters his property, kills his dog/friend and probably will never even get in trouble for it.

I understand that cops can encounter dangerous situations anytime anywhere, but it seems these days it's more of shoot first ask questions later approach.

I mean what's the absolute worst case scenario even if the dog had come at him and he was to stupid to open the gate. Would the dog have killed him and eaten him before help would have arrived?

In most areas the cops really aren't encountering that much wild shit out there. There needs to be some accountability at some level.

You're absolutely right and that is why I used the term "wiggle out", he wouldn't be able to pull anything but no one would have blamed him for illegally finding a meth lab.

These officers don't care, they didn't do shit. I stand by my point, we all fuckup in our everyday jobs, why can't they? I'm not saying he should go out without a slap but hey, the way they punish him, I have no control over that, I do not vote the laws yet, but I'll call you back when I do.
 
Cops are so fucking stupid and this officer in particular is honestly a pussy for shooting a dog that probably barked at him so he thought its morally right to kill it. This guy should fucking sue the cops considering he could have been notified that there is a problem with the dog before killing it and considering they have no good right to enter his property.

If any cop shot my dog for no fucking reason I'd fucking crash into him while he fucks his doughnut hole.

you always say the stupidest shit in these threads just bc you're a security guard
 
obviously that cop left the scene because he realized he fucked up real big. utah cops love to shoot first and ask questions later. its their policy.
 
All the idiot would have needed to do was look over the fence and he would have seen the dog, and this whole thing could have been avoided

If you killed somebodies dog at work you would probably get fired. You would probably get sued maybe even charged with something.

Cops should be held to a HIGHER standard. The idea that a cop has all the power when they're enforcing the law but take no responsibility when doing something wrong is bullshit.

I mean "Everyone fucks up sometimes". That's true. Let's say you're going a little over the speed limit getting to your kids soccer game because you don't want to miss it. Not driving dangerously. The cop most of the time will not say hey I hear ya bro that's cool, they'll give you a ticket. Hell they have quotas they have to meet for that shit. And that's somebody going 64 in a 55 on a straight away. This is going into some dudes backyard and shooting his dog because you have a gun and you were slightly startled.

Most of the time nobody get's punished. Almost worst case scenario if a cop does something really shitty they'll get suspended for a bit while they get cleared of doing anything wrong. If they don't have enough friends or it's really really shitty maybe they'll lose their job. If they do the shittiest thing you can think of maybe they'll actually go to jail.

The double standards are insane. You trip on the sidewalk and slightly brush by a cop and that's assault and you could probably be tased and arrested.

For the most part I'm just hungry and wanting to argue but I feel there's a valid point in there somewhere. If you're going to be the upholder of the law, you should be held accountable to the law at the very least the same, if not more than the normal person.

TLDR
