SARASOTA, Fla. — An officer is being investigated after he shot at a dog while responding to a call in Sarasota on Tuesday morning.
The Sarasota Police Department said that while at a home on North Links Avenue, an "aggressive" pit bull approached the officer, leading him to shoot at the animal to "ensure safety."
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement was notified and will conduct an independent investigation into the incident.
Officials did not provide any details on the dog's condition.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
