VIDEO: Did Delray Beach Officer Kick Small Dog?

Delray Beach Police Department SWAT Response Gets Alot Of Attention After Video Surfaces Of Officer Kicking (Or Not) Small Dog

DELRAY BEACH, FL (Boca Post) — Video shows Delray Beach Police Officer kicking the small dog backwards as it ran towards him and a K-9.

Delray Beach Police Department tells Boca Post that the action may have saved the small pooch.

On Tuesday, January 12th, 2022, Delray Beach Police Department’s SWAT team responded to a home near 6th Avenue in Delray Beach to conduct a search in reference to a 17 year old boy who attempted to murder a 10 year old. Police were able to safely arrest the 17 year old boy while in the home. He has been arrested and is now facing a 2nd degree attempted murder charge.

That successful arrest isn’t what people are talking about on social media. People are talking about this video instead. After the arrest a small dog runs toward one of the K-9 officers who apparently gives the pooch a kick.

Delray Beach Police Department has responded to criticism by saying that the officer was just preventing the K-9 from attacking the pooch. “The officer might have saved the little dog from serious injury or death.”, says a DBPD spokesperson.

The statement says that later on after the kicking incident, the dog was back inside the house and in a playful mood.
