I’m beginning to wonder if “shoot the dog and claim self defense” is being taught in the police academy now.
It sounds like this cop approached the dog with the gun already drawn; if that is the case, I’m not surprised the dog barked and growled; they are smart and can sense danger. That is what most of them were bred to do—to warn of intruders, especially dangerous ones. The idiot cop deliberately provoked the dog’s flight or fight instinct.
No, but i guarantee you the FOP and PBA shyster lawyers are telling these thugs with badges that.
