Another Reason Why St Michael Is No Longer The Patron Saint Of Police: Davenport Cop Ethan Bock Kills A Family's Dog



Disturbing footage has emerged of a cop shooting dead a family dog in front of its horrified owners - just one month after he ran over and killed another pet. Ethan Bock is seen opening fire on the animal after it ran across the yard and jumped up at him outside the home in Davenport, Iowa on August 21. Two young children and their mother are heard shrieking in horror as their black retriever-mix called Myst writes around in agony beside the front porch.A few weeks before, the same officer struck and killed another man's unleashed dog with his police cruiser. In body-worn camera footage after the smash, Bock tells the owner: 'That's why you gotta have your dog on a leash bro.' Davenport Police Department confirmed to Our Quad Cities News they were conducting an internal review of the incident.'We are aware of the information circulating on social media and are sensitive to the concerns of our community,' the local police department said of the footage last week. 'At this time, it would be premature to speculate on the results of the internal review, but the department is committed to sharing more information to include additional video once the review has been completed.' A later statement offered more detail, confirming the incident involved 'an officer discharging his firearm in an encounter with a dog, as family members are present.' Offered up days after the tragedy as the clip gained traction on the internet, the statement specified the shooting happened on August 21, 'at approximately 7:20pm.' The officer in the footage, identified by Myst's owners as San Diego native Bock, arrived to the home on North Pine Street after receiving 'a report of four dogs at large, appearing aggressive. 'The caller stated the dogs were attempting to get over a fence to reach their dog,' the statement claimed. 'While the officer was following-up to the call in the alley of 2100 Telegraph Road, a dog ran out of a yard in the officer's direction,' it added of the scream-filled encounter in the now viral footage.
