quote:

Burlington, IA — A Burlington Police officer, supervising a domestic dispute, shot and killed a woman in front of her house Tuesday morning.

The victim has been identified as 34-year-old Autumn Steele. The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI), who is leading the investigation, has not released the name of the officer who shot her.

There is no indication that Steele or her husband were armed or that they posed a threat to the officer involved.

According to court records Steele was arrested Monday night on a misdemeanor charge of domestic abuse. She was released from the jail and told that she could not return to the home without a police officer escort in order to gather her belongings.

Steele then returned to the home with her police officer escort, the same person that would later kill her.

As her husband, Gabriel Steele, was loading up their 4-year-old son, Steele came out of the house and got into an altercation with him. She was followed by the dog.

When the escort officer saw the disturbance he went to break it up. Witnesses say that at this time the dog was being playful, but apparently still threatened the officer which caused him to draw his pistol and begin shooting.

One of the shots fired struck Steele in the chest.

“The dog startled the officer. The officer began shooting at the dog. The officer was still shooting when he fell down in the snow,” one witness told The Hawk Eye Newspaper.

“It appeared he was shooting at the dog when (the officer) fell to the ground. It’s my belief the woman was shot accidentally,” said another witness.

Seconds after the shooting another Burlington officer arrived on the scene and both officers tried to calm Gabriel Steele, who wanted to help his wife.

“I’m a combat veteran,” he screamed. “What are you guys (police) doing? Let me help.”

Steele was eventually taken by ambulance to the Great River Medical Center where she later died of the gunshot wound to the chest.

This is a tragic case of police incompetence. The very government agency who claims the authority to carry deadly weapons into all situations often disregard this heavy responsibility and end up hurting those they ostensibly protect.

the popo have an instinctual urge to end the lives of dogs. if a cop in the street isnt shooting at your dog right at this moment, its because he is too high on confiscated shrooms and pcp to see the dog

oh god how did this get here i am not good with computers
I wonder how many shots had to be fired to effectively miss the dog, and murder a bystander?

I realize it was probably a handgun, but I just picture an automatic rifle with the trigger squeezed down and the barrel just flying around in every direction.

Bullets in the house, bullets the cars, bullets in the garage door, bullets in the ground, bullets in the telephone pole half a block away...

Wait, so the dog didnt go ob to kill the cop? After he missed and fell down and was open for finishing off? Thats weird. Are they gonna put it down anyway, for safety?

Cops are such loving bedwetting retards, my first reaction when going to someone's house and having their dog run out isn't to freak the gently caress out.
They always say they have good reason to think people are out to get them because their job is dangerous, but they always light up dogs like the dogs are sentient enough to realize that it's a cop and cops have dangerous work, loving lol, what morons.

Tbh this sounds pretty accurate.
There was that one thing where they lit up a busy street and hit everyone but the person they were trying to murder.

Don't make this a racial thing. Americans loving love dogs. There are programs to reunite soldiers back from Iraq with the stray dogs they chilled with there in between doing their day job.
Iraqi war orphans probably wish they had hair all over and waggly tails.

That would be a loving hilarious fake charity website to make.

Help our Vets reunite with the children whose parents they murdered. It's drat near impossible to arrange immigration, but if we dress 10 year old Omar up like a dog, he can get his papers after a few weeks in a quarantine kennel. He won't mind eating the dog food - it'll probably be the first meal he's had in days that wasn't a 50 year old's cock.

You're missing the point, the fact that cops kill defenseless and harmless animals as way of 1. hurting the people they're apprehending, 2. getting their kicks for killing things, 3. doing it because they know no one will do poo poo about it, 4. they're such huge pussies that they're actually afraid of the dog, are all reasons why it's so retarded.

It's just one of the more obvious signs that they're psychopaths outside the realm of killing people. If they can't kill a human being, or don't have the "guts" to, they'll just kill an animal.
