Texas Police Shoot Dog and Then Taser Dog’s Deaf Elderly Owner For Failing to Obey Commands

Police in Bruceville-Eddy, Texas shot and killed a dog that they insist was threatening them and then tasered its elderly owner for failing to obey their commands. The man turns out to be deaf and there is still no word on the investigation that began in March in the incident.

A woman called police to say that two dogs had chased her into her home. The police and an animal control officer found the two dogs at the man’s home and one of the dogs, a mixed breed mastiff-pit bull, charged at their cars. A deputy constable proceeded to shoot the dog. When the owner ran outside, the officer told him to stop and go back into his house. He did not and so they tasered the elderly man. He is deaf.
