The officer, an eight-year veteran of the force, said he was out with his young son on the 5800 block of North Oketo Avenue, on the city's far northwest side, when Maximus, a four-month-old pit bull, charged at them ( Read more... )

Quite possible. In the video report, the officer is hidden out of sight as he is interviewed. He sounds really dismissive and unapologetic for traumatizing a 5-year old girl by murdering her puppy right in front of her.
Bonus for new information from the family's facebook stating that they had previously been threatened, insulted because of being on government assistance, and gave them a hard time for being the only Hispanic family on the street.
Dude is a shame to the badge, no two ways about it. Even if he didn't plan to do it, which is PRETTY FUCKING UNLIKELY, an officer with such an enormous lack of judgment is dangerous and has no business on the streets. Those are the kinds of officers that shoot someone for trying to get their wallet, and claim it was a gun.
And douchebags like him destroy any trust the public has in the authorities. Seriously, the nonsense of police shooting people's dogs has far-reaching impact. It makes people afraid to deal with police, and fearful of interacting with them. You should NEVER have to be afraid that your dog will be killed by a police officer solely based on their breed, their size, or because they did what dogs are supposed to do and barked at a stranger entering their yard.
