Some officers never discharge their weapons during their careers, some are left with no options and do discharge, where the options left v. threat imminent and severity of attack likely.. let a review board decide. adopt another dog.
I hope my two poodles won’t get it one day over a wrong address. They both bark and lunge, usually playfully.. Is it the size of the dog? a
As to the perps , they as much as asked for it the moment they strapped on weapons.
A sad day for the officers in that department, any single day an officer dies in the line of duty too much, to have more than one, .. Prayers for the families who grieve because brave officers die for our freedoms.
Some years back a rookie cop maced my dangerous Jack Russell because it was barking at him when he came in the yard. Sure it pissed me off and I told the kid about it. I also called the police chief and the rookie was back to apologize inside an hour.
After that we never had a problem again. The kid learned that this is a small town goes 20 or 30 years between violent crimes and that kind of aggression isn’t really needed from police. I like to think the kid became a better cop because of it.
“let a review board decide. adopt another dog.”
WHAT? Pets are members of the family. Loved as much as children.
Review board? Who needs one? It was a small to medium sized pet DOG. He wasn’t even being attacked. Maybe next time he could swat the dog or kick him instead of unloading his GUN on the dog. Is this the type of BRAVE cop you want protecting society? Unwarranted discharging of his weapon in the presence of children? This guy needs to be FIRED, not defended.
Little bitty dogs get shot, too. They are even better Live Situation Target Practice than Rottweilers.
