What danger were they to human life??? And they shot them in the vehicle??? They couldn't determine that one of those dogs had the right to be in the vehicle and was just defending himself from the aggressor??? and the aggressor was [duh] a pit bull. Shoot the one and the fight is over.
All those badges there and they couldn't figure that out. These are morons wearing a badge -- and they have guns???
The report doesn’t say if the dogs were in the truck bed....but it sounds as if they were contained in the cab; the video doesn’t show dogs running around. By blowing out the window of the truck, a dog could escape and then be a danger to the public....not to mention the ricocheting bullets off metal truck.
...and an overabundance of testosterone....and the inability to *think* under pressure. ;(
Our bucolic town had an incident in a shopping plaza w/ a Home Depot; turns out a woman was shoplifting from the HD. The police chased her to a get-away car and fired wildly into it as she made herself scarce. Some of those stray bullets could have had terrible consequences, me included as I frequent that plaza. For shoplifting. Meh.
Nothing but a light reprimand for the cop...who is back patrolling, making our town *safer.*
I couldn't find this in the article but I might have just missed it. Would you please post a link that corroborates this claim with a positive ID?
Thanks in advance.
