Ocrant and Steven R. Bonanno.<\/div>\n<div><o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Under Government Liability the Law Review discusses the liability of governments in police shootings of dogs.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>It was agreed in the review, the shooting of a dog by the police is a fourth amendment seizure of that dog from its owner, even if the shooting is not fatal.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Claims against the government and the police officer are routinely dismissed where the police officer had nowhere to retreat and the dog was charging, acting aggressively, not responding to verbal requests to sit and stay and no owner was in the vicinity.<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>However, cases involving dog shootings by police were not automatically dismissed where the police officer was the only one left standing, where they were the only witness to the incident, when observers disagreed with the description of the incident given by the officer and where the dog can be shown to have a \u2018clean record\u2019 having attended and graduated from beginner and intermediate obedience classes.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>These cases are routinely set down for trial because an issue of fact exists.<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What is the outcome of setting these cases down for trial?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Does the dog owner get to speak about the dog that was killed or injured? Does the officer get to speak about how he felt or past experiences he may have had that colored his response?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Do recommendations come out of the trial which help focus discussion on what went wrong, what went right and open a dialogue between the interested and involved parties so future events like this do not happen?<\/p>\n<p>Not really.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>The court handles these cases, examines the \u2018issue of fact\u2019 brought before it by the parties at preliminary hearings, and decides who acted appropriately in this instance.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Only the court decides the issue of fact at hand as presented by each party.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Immediate dismissal of the claims was precluded because of the existence of an issue of fact.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Except for peripheral content given by the parties, their input is examined and believed or not believed by the court that then renders a decision taking the power of resolution out of the hands of the parties and placing it squarely in their own hands.<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In the mind of the person that lost, had their dog injured or the police officer that acted on his own or the bystander\u2019s best interest, so much more is taken into account of this incident than \u2018an issue of fact\u2019.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>What did they each learn from the incident?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Has it been explored? Have changes been made in their behavior? And if so, are the changes implemented so future incidents of this kind benefit from what they experienced first hand?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Or is it simply a matter of getting to the truth, as a court sees it and meting out punishment for the police officer who acted as he saw fit or the dog owner who failed to act in a certain prescribed way.<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Does discipline, issued by court decree, work to change the response of these parties in a positive way going forward?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Maybe not.<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If upon intake this case was forwarded to mediation, as the line of first defense, discussions can be had which are not available in court due to time and linear nature of the court process.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>\u2018Just the Facts Mame\u201d.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Yet how the police officer felt at the time, prior incidents he has had, his experience with dogs, specifically and in general and the training he received can and should be explored.<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In the dog owner\u2019s case, how did they feel? Was this a one time tragic occurrence, a constant treat that was ignored or a neighborhood practice?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Is the owner able to learn from the incident and pass on thoughts and ideas for themselves and for the police officer?
