Video shows Minneapolis cop shooting two dogs

A Minneapolis police officer was caught on video shooting two dogs when  he entered the backyard of a home to check on a burglary alarm. 

 The dogs' owner, Jennifer LeMay, posted the graphic video to  Facebook on Sunday and said the dogs did not pose a threat to the  officer. "[Minneapolis'] finest shooting my dogs that weren't attacking or charging at him!" she wrote. "My  dog had stopped. My dog wasn't even facing him to charge him or be in  an aggressive manor to him. You still shot him," Lemay told KARE. Both of the dogs survived the shooting, but will require  extensive surgery and veterinarian care. LeMay said that she and her  four children raised the dogs, Ciroc and Rocko, since they were puppies.  The dogs are also physician-prescribed emotional support animals for  her two sons, who have anxiety. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune,  the LeMays were out of town on a camping trip. But Lemay's eldest  daughter, 18, returned home early to work the next day and brought her  13-year-old sister along. One of the daughters set off the buglary alarm  when entering the home at 8:50 p.m. Saturday, but the mother  deactivated it on her cell phone at 8:54 p.m. Two Minneapolis police officers arrived at the house at 9:15  p.m. But neither knocked on the front door, LeMay said. Instead, one  stood in front of the home while the other climbed over the fence in the  backyard. The surveillance video, which has no sound, shows the  officer walking in the backyard when Ciroc, a white dog, trots toward  him and then stops several feet away. Ciroc looks side to side and takes  a step forward, at which point the officer fires a bullet that hits the  dog's jaw. Ciroc flails on the ground while Rocky, the other dog, runs  toward the officer. The officer then fires another shot at Rocky, who  runs back the other way. After shooting the dogs, the officer hops over the fence. "We are aware of the recent incident involving MPD officers  responding to an audible residential burglary alarm and while at this  call an MPD officer discharged their firearm, striking two dogs  belonging to the homeowner," police said in a statement. "Anytime an  officer discharges their firearm in the line of duty there is an  investigation. We are in the process of reviewing the video posted  online, as well as the officer's body camera video."
