Cop Says Killing Dog Was “Awesome”

Oklahoma family: Police shot dog for no reason, claim officer said killing was “awesome”

ARDMORE, Okla. – An Oklahoma family says they are devastated after they claim an officer shot and killed their dog last week for no reason.

According to a witness, the family says the officer then took delight in the killing.

Officers with the Ardmore Police Department say they received several complaints about the pit bull acting aggressively and shot the dog near a park to protect the public.

Sarah Brown says a neighbor witnessed the shooting after her dog, Cali, had jumped over the backyard fence.

Brown says the neighbor saw an officer use a shotgun to kill Cali.

She added that the officer allegedly bragged about how “awesome” it looked when her collar flew off.

RIP Raccoon Baby

Family dog shot; police officer suspended from duty

Forest City Police Officer Sean Brooks, who also lives on Valley View Drive, was placed on paid suspension from his duties regarding shooting the neighbor’s dog while off-duty.

Brooks has been an officer with the Forest City Police Department since January 2013.

Today he awaits news from a mid-week meeting with Forest City Police Chief Jay Jackson, District Attorney Brad Greenway and detectives regarding the shooting and any charges.

According to Jackson, Brooks admitted shooting the six-year-old boxer and said it was “in self-defense of his family and wife.”

However, there was no police incident report of any dog being aggressive and no police report was filed of shooting an animal inside city limits, which is unlawful.
