A Sierra Leone man already facing deportation on felony charges was arrested early Saturday morning in Springfield after allegedly firing at a Massachusetts State Police K-9 unit, according to State Police. Police said they received a report of Mohamed Fofanah, 35, driving just 10 miles per hour on Interstate 91 southbound at 12:15 a.m. The vehicle he was driving was wanted for hitting three separate vehicles in traffic moments earlier, according to David Procopio, a spokesman for the State Police. Fofanah exited the highway and abandoned his vehicle after crashing again, then walked toward Main Street, Procopio said. K-9 Trooper David Stucenski and his canine partner, Frankie, found him. When Fofanah refused to stop and surrender his weapon, Stucenski deployed the dog, police said in a statement. Fofanah allegedly fired one shot but didn’t hit the officer or the dog, who was able to subdue him, according to the statement. He was treated for minor injuries at Baystate Medical Center and is being charged with attempted murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, various firearm violations, leaving the scene of property damage, and mistreatment of a police dog. Upon further investigation after his arrest, Fofanah was found to be in the country illegally and to have multiple felony charges against him in Connecticut, Procopio said. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer against him while he remains in custody at the Hampshire County Jail and House of Correction and awaits deportation, according to Procopio.

Let me guess....Religion of Peace member or fellow traveler with?
With a name like Mohamed, how would you guess? but we mustn't do racial or religious profiling, must we? it isn't politically correct, I wonder was he also of dark countinence?
Police are allowed to shoot dogs that threaten them, but anyone shooting at a police dog that is aggressively charging at them is charged with a crime.
Are trying to find common ground between you the socialist and the Paultards that post here? Trying to find adversaries to cloud over your level of libtardness? Meguro did the same thing... was a mega libtarded turd burglar but found common ground with the Paultard crowd with LE hate. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Actually, shooting a police dog carries the same charges as shooting an actual police officer. Some animals are more equal than others. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Interesting ... I tried to understand it earlier.
Will you ever find a way to properly deal with your animosity?
Stating a fact is "animosity"? Federal Law Now Protects Canine Cops For those tempted to punch a horse during a demonstration or kick a narcotics dog sniffing at your bag, the U.S. government has a new message: Keep your paws off or you will go to jail. Harming these four-legged law agents is now a federal offense. Under the Federal Law Enforcement Animal Protection Act, which went into effect this week, anyone convicted of purposely assaulting, maiming, or killing federal law enforcement animals such as police dogs and horses could be fined at least $1,000 and spend up to 10 years in prison. Previously, the animals were covered by a variety of state, rather than federal, laws. Kid Shoots Retired Police Dog, Gets 23 Years in Prison. Cops Shoot your Dog and get Paid Vacation It should not surprise you that the police in 2014 get away with slaughtering many household dogs, receiving paid administration leave instead of prison sentences. In one of the most recent cases, an officer shot a dog that could in no way injure the cop, because there was a car window in between the cop and the dog. The cop killed the dog by shooting through the car window. It is estimated that hundreds if not thousands of dogs are shot and killed by police every year in the US. There is of course no ‘official’ statistic because officials don’t quite care for statistics that prove the system to be immoral, and there are no advocacy groups that represent pets against police aggression. Recently, a 17 yr old boy from Florida was sentenced to 23 years, a huge portion of his life behind bars for shooting a police dog. Correction – a retired police dog. He was only 16 years old at the time of the crime. In this particular situation however, the 17 yr old had allegedly committed a burglary on a state trooper’s house, and he shot his dog inside the house. There is nothing morally okay about that in any way, but to send him to prison for a huge part of his young life, and seek no rehabilitation, is gross and immoral, and that is the very reason the US has the highest amount and rate of citizens incarcerated of any nation or empire in the history of the world. ***** Then of course you have the cases where a cop kills a police dog - well, you know the drill. If a Kid Can Get 23 Years in Prison for Killing a Dog, What About Cops Who Kill Dogs? "We never see this kind of moral outrage from the state when police shoot dogs during SWAT raids and serving search warrants," Fleischman tells New Times. "If the state is going to give a child 23 years for shooting a dog, then there should be some moral consistency when police shoot dogs." Although currently overshadowed by the issue of police shooting humans, dog shootings by police have gained attention in recent years. Official numbers are not kept by government agencies, but activists say the number could be as high as one dog killed by a cop every 98 minutes. That comes out to about 14 per day -- 5,110 per year. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Off your meds again,ain't ya? Enjoy it while it lasts,because it won't be long before you are in lockup again. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Only in ultra libtarded tree hugger states. Even In libtarded NY your statement is as retarded as the special Olympics. 195.06 "Killing or injuring a police animal" is a class A misdemeanor. 125.27 subdivision (1) (i) Murder 1st is a class A-1 Felony. Even the lowest degree of Manslaughter is higher than a class A Misdemeanor you ignorant retard. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
And are you trying to pass yourself as an objective observer of society because of your many years of law enforcement experience while having no clue as to the difference between a libertarian and a socialist? I don't hate the police. I just hate what they do sometimes, much of it due to the self imposed mental stereotype handicap that they bestow upon themselves, as you demonstrate against me and others.
Shooting a police officer in self-defense is justified, at least as long as you don't know it's a police officer. That happened in a home raid a few years ago. At some point, I expect a court case to arise where a citizen shoots a police officer in self-defense, knowing it was a police officer, but non-the-less in legitimate fear for his own life, given that officers are often trained to be quick on the trigger, as one in a recent article highlighted.
Not so. Federal Law Now Protects Canine Cops For those tempted to punch a horse during a demonstration or kick a narcotics dog sniffing at your bag, the U.S. government has a new message: Keep your paws off or you will go to jail. Harming these four-legged law agents is now a federal offense. Under the Federal Law Enforcement Animal Protection Act, which went into effect this week, anyone convicted of purposely assaulting, maiming, or killing federal law enforcement animals such as police dogs and horses could be fined at least $1,000 and spend up to 10 years in prison. Previously, the animals were covered by a variety of state, rather than federal, laws. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Local police charge federally like 1% of the time? Shut your lying, yellow bullshit Paultard pie hole. You've misled the posters of this forum to benefit your legal drug agenda ENOUGH. You've poisoned this forum enough. Besides, under the federal law (that won't hardly ever be charged unless you kill or hurt a federal police agency K-9) is punishable by 1,000 fine (most likely the average first offense fine) or 10 years. Murder of a police officer in any state is punishable by WAY MORE than 10 years you filthy cop hating, animal loving Tree hugging turdbag. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Drunk already? I'm guessing that because your life now is so utterly meaningless since you are no longer a cop and cannot legally beat the shit out of innocent citizens, you probably start boozing it up early in the day and take out your uncontrollable anger out on your wife and/or kids. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Hardly. Just got out of work for my 2nd pension job. Arrested 2 today if you find that interesting. Are you ever right? I haven't even had an IPA yet. Nice deflection... From the libtarded "animal death is equal to a HUMAN death) bullshit. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Pa. man who killed police dog Rocco gets amazingly long prison sentence: Higher than human homicides Perhaps fittingly, a sheriff's deputy K-9 barked at John Rush, 22, before his sentencing yesterday in the fatal stabbing of a Pittsburgh police dog named Rocco. But it is what the Allegheny County judge said that had real bite: Rush will spend 17 3⁄4 to 44 years in prison for killing Rocco, TribLive.com is reporting. "The net result is a sentence higher than you see in a number of homicide and child-abuse cases," Duquesne University law professor Wes Oliver told the website. Man Who Killed Police Dog Fargo Sentenced to 35 Years in Jail Yet when a cop kills a dog, either through negligence or by his own actions - well, you know the drill. In Killing of Police Dogs, Cops Usually Get Light Punishment Any person who intentionally and knowingly, without lawful cause or justification, causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, or death to, or uses a deadly weapon upon, a police dog, fire dog, SAR dog, or police horse commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. Considering that two other recent cases of officers killing their K-9s resulted in no prison time, the maximum penalty is unlikely. As the Herald pointed out yesterday: In 2007, Miami-Dade police Sgt. Allen Cockfield was charged with animal cruelty after prosecutors determined a kick he administered to his German shepherd Duke during a training session was a fatal blow. Cockfield was later acquitted at trail. Then in March 2008, Miami officer Rondal Brown was arrested and charged with animal cruelty after his bloodhound Dynasty starved to death... Dynasty was discovered starving and emaciated. Brown later left the police department and agreed to serve probation on animal cruelty charges. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much You showed 3 examples of libtarded animal loving judges that handed down retarded sentences.... and I can show you 100 DEATH sentences for killing a cop or a human being. But of course, because you can find a few extream fringe examples, your paranoid government hating world must exist. You're a tool. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I won't ever let you spin your AGENDA here... I'll always expose you for what you are.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Your schtick is becoming tiresome. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Kinda like repeated yella articles to brainwash the sheep into loving drugs and hating those cops that do their jobs arresting for it. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
