When did this dog attack the SWAT team?
Show evidence of bite wounds from the officers.
It is the responsibility of the officers to understand dog psychology and not indiscriminately shoot family pets.
Shoot without thinking is supposed to be a caricature of gunowners, not a modus operandi for wanna-be soldiers.
Police feel the need to shoot someone to let off the incredible tensions of a SWAT type raid.
They are permitted because they are always "cleared."
Every citizen who is able should keep a dog on the premises in case of a police "mistaken address" raid for self protection- the dog takes the bullet instead of a family member.
