Because mailmen aren’t generally wannabe soldiers and don’t get off on the idea of killing something just because they can?
C’mon people. I absolutely adore dogs, as many policemen do as well. Don’t slur other situations and interactions with police officers, (some of whom are jerks) with this clear case of Jones being chronically irresponsible with the safety of his dog. The dog charged the cop, the dog bit the cop- all outside the home! There is evidence that all of this occurred, which justifies an officer using his firearm to stop the attack and prevent potentially disabling injury to another officer. It is very sad and it was preventable, but the owner caused this. We need more accountability in our society.
P.S.- Why don’t mailmen shoot dogs? BECAUSE THEY AREN’T ISSUED AND TRAINED WITH GUNS. Duh.
