That stopped the dog, but otherwise didnt have any effect. Exactly what other effect did they WANT it to have?

The police story here does not even make any sense.
They claim they opened an already cracked door to the apartment of John Haggamaker whom they were seeking in relation to an altercation
whereupon they were attacked and had to shoot the dogs.
But later in the article it is reported that Mr. Haggamaker was begging them not to shoot his dogs as they were leading to a squad car.
If they already had him in custody, why would they have needed to open the door to his apartment seeking him?

These guys obviously don’t know to look beyond target. When you are shooting at a target, know what is behind it. If you miss your target or if the bullet penetrates the target, it is your responsibility.
Most police carry 9mm or .40...lots of penetration on a dog...not to mention a dog coming at you face first does not present a very large target area and you are more likely to miss or penetrate at an angle just about ensuring that the bullet will continue and cause damage or death beyond.
These cops need training and understanding. Shooting in an apartment building should be about the last resort unless confronted by a imminent life or death situation. A dog hardly qualifies as that, especially when other residents offer to take the dog into their apartment!!!

The shootings by officers Demetrius Hightower and Jarrod Birchfield are being reviewed by Decatur Polices office of professional standards, police spokesman Lt. John Crouch said.
They will receive medals for bravery, no doubt.

Disgusting! There’s no other word for it.
I hope the owner files suit against these cops, and that he ends up with a whole bunch of money!

There are a lot of people in law enforcement who would have been considered way too wimpy for the job even thirty years ago.
