Fire Officer Doug Howell

The Issue

In 2010 Lagrange Misouri Police Officer Doug Howell responded to a "dog at large" call. Showing up to the scene he discovered a 1 1/2 year old American Bulldog named Cammi. After apprehending Cammi, Officer Howell shot and killed her claiming she was "vicious" and he "feared for his life". After watching the dash cam video you can clearly see this was not the case. She was friendly, and noticeably scared, which most of us would be if some strange man came at you trying to shove a noose around your neck. After researching this case I have learned that there was a lawsuit filed against Officer Howell, which he lost, but he is still to this day employed by the LaGrange Police Department. I'm calling for Officer Doug Howells immediate termination of employment. He used wrongful, deadly force against an American citizens innocent household pet. Being an officer of the law and carrying a fire arm is a privilege. It does not give you the right to shoot down whoever is in your way.
