Like gun knowledge would make a difference

But OK, let's shoot the dog.........That way, assuming the husband is actually attacking his wife as you claim, he'll hear it and get a heads-up. Slick move.

Cowardly fucking cunt has the nerve to blame the dog owner for not having a leash on him? On his own property?

Fuck that, and fuck him.

What next, dude gonna shoot an outhouse cause he might get splinters?

Fuck sake.

Why not just get back into your car, beat off the dog with your baton, or fire a warning shot first.

Are you assuming the dog will hear a warning shot, stop and put it's paws up?

Fair assumption, given that the cop expected Michael to control his dog.

"Hands up!"

"Control your dog!"

"I said get your hands up!"

"Control your dog!!"

If you are going to shoot it anyway if that didn't work, then what harm could it do to try?

The way that whole event happened, the warning shot would of probably richocheted off something in the ground and went through the guy's heart.

They are pussies because they are given such sweeping priviledges by their occupation

"Treat any risk, no matter how small, as a lethal threat"..........

"Anything that could potentially be a gun, including an 8 year old boy waving a squirt gun, should be destroyed". "Don't bother trying to use your own brain to determine that that woman's "gun" is in fact a cellphone". Never pause to use your brain, just follow procedure"

"Train 12 guns on 1 suspect, just in case 2 or 3 aren't sufficient" "Riddle him with 50 rounds, because there's a 1 in a million chance that he could still be a threat after the first 5 or 6."

As could have a round that hit the dog.

There is always a "could have"

Cops (and "Homeland Security" ) seem to operate on the principle that even 1 in a billion odd "could haves" should be treated like sure things. It gets old.
