'The following petition was sent to me by an anonymous user and requested me
to post it on this site. The petition does fit within our political activism
policies and I am happy to oblige. The petition will run for one week, after
which it will be sent to Chief Terry of the Cookeville Police Department.
"We, the citizen's of Cookeville, Tennessee call for either the immediate
removal of Eric Hall as a police officer or his immediate resignation from
that same position. This is in response to the recent incident in which Mr.
Hall shot a family pet while involved in a felony stop on Interstate 40.
We consider this an unwarranted and highly volatile reaction to the
situation. This conduct reflects very badly on Mr. Hall, Cookeville Police,
and the city of Cookeville. Mr. Hall's sworn duty to uphold the law, and
protect citizens from the same type of thuggish behavior that he is now
guilty of.'

Welcome to my killfile you pointlessly inflammatory innacurate twerp.
I've agonized over this enough without you rubbing salt in everyone's
wounds who cared enough to evaluate and try to find out the truth.
Beating us with a club will only alienate your cause.

COOKEVILLE, TENNESSEE............." If you are not a citizen of Cookeville,
TN and sign this petition you could invalidate the petition.
Please just let the matter drop. The family has already said that they will
sue the parties involved in this horrendous act. Don't jeopardize their law
suite by carrying this any further.

are truly in control of your faculties, please consider this situation from
the officers' perspective. What if this really WAS a felony? What if the
dog really WAS vicious and attempted to attack? What if that attack
resulted in the officers being distracted to the point where the alleged
felons were able to pose serious bodily harm or death to the officers? Now,
what if one of those officers who was injured/killed was one of your family?
You have to understand that they were responding to a potential felony stop.
How would you suggest they handle the situation based on the information
they were presented? The death of this dog, horrible as it is, could have
been prevented had the owners confined them some way inside the car
(seatbelt harnesses, crates) or if the officer(s) or family had closed the
door as supposedly requested by the family. I believe that the family is
entitled to some form of reimbursement, but PLEASE realize that we don't
know all the details. If I was unable to understand all of the verbal
content of the video, it is reasonable to believe that others had difficulty
as well. And if I felt that the video quality was sufficiently poor as to
make breed identification impossible, as well as the posture of this dog
after exiting the car, then others probably would have to admit that they
really couldn't tell either. While it is extremely unfortunate that this
has happened, please don't join the list of people whose perceptions have
been formed merely by their love of animals and not by the facts. javnews:ABAT9.2918$Dq.2...@newsread2.prod.itd.earthlink.net...

much outcry if the officer had been bitten or if there is so much
anger voiced when an officer is shot.
