So first up, I want to talk about this situation with the dog, okay? I want to talk about this dog situation.

So...

I don't know when this actually happened, but a couple days ago, someone messaged me and said, Hey, what's your thoughts on this situation with this dog? And I was like, What dog? What situation with what dog? And they said, well, this dog in Muncie that got shot by this Muncie police officer...

you know, this happened and it's really bad.

And I'm like, well, I've not heard anything about it.

And so I started getting sent all of these like really quick links, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, like four links right in a row, all from the Hoosier Inquirer, okay? And remember, we're going to talk about them in the end, but I have to use these initial clips to show you, basically to show you what I was given at first, and then I'll explain why this is good or bad or what you need to know.

So the first thing that I was sent was this.

And...

It starts off straight out of the gate by saying, shocking cover-up, question mark.

So is it a shocking cover-up, or is it...

Are we questioning if it's a shocking cover-up? Is it not a shocking cover-up? What's going on here, okay? Muncie Cop switches body cam off...

then blasts one-year-old dog five times, both rear legs shot, one needs amputation.

Okay? That's the headline.

Then we got a picture of City Hall, and then we get into the article, and it says, a Muncie police officer deactivated his body camera before unloading Roughly, that's

a weird word to say, roughly.

Because he either fired five rounds or he didn't fire five rounds.

And those five rounds,

they either, all five hit the dog,

or...

They didn't hit the dog.

One hit the dog and four went elsewhere.

What's the deal there? Into a one-year-old dog named Memphis during what was supposed to be a routine non-criminal child support warrant.

and the dog's wounds are raising explosive questions about the officer's own story.

According to the officer's report, as detailed in a rapidly spreading local post, he deliberately turned off his body cam off before the encounter and only switched it back on after the shooting.

His written explanation, once the dog stopped moving towards me, I stopped firing my handgun at the dog.
