Sad to say, but a lot of cops nowadays are belligerent a$$holes. I own a shepherd with a similar ‘playful’ spirit. This was uncalled for. Tough guy with a gun vs. a dog.
But Kaur said her dog was being playful, not aggressive.

The woman should NEVER have let go of the leash, precisely for the above reason. Some people don’t understand dogs much and are frightened of them.
The lady had regained the dogs leash when it was shot, which to me is like shooting someone in the back. Nobody was hurt and grandma had the leash again.
The leash should NEVER have been let go but that stupid police woman should never have shot that dog, considering what is reported of the incident.
The rescue I volunteer for are reluctant to allow cops to adopt their dogs. They have a tendency not to take the time to be with the dogs or train them, and return the dogs like used socks. On the other hand, fire fighters tend to be good adoptors.
