The second officer would be aiming and firing in the general direction of the other officer?

Of course, you MUST be correct. At no time would two officers take up a defensive position when feeling threatened, either by a human or animal. It is simply NOT possible that two officers, when being confronted, or feeling threatened, would EVER separate.

Where do I come up with my position? 1) Military training. 2) Years of knowing and spending time with people in Law Enforcement.

You, on the other hand, took up a position against these two officers based upon your already biased opinion against Law Enforcement. That wasn't information presented in the article, but particular to you.

Too funny...

Density is your friend, right? You asked why the officer who the dog was approaching didn’t fire, and, instead, the other officer fired? Since neither of us were present to see the context of what unfolded neither of us can know whether one officer had a clearer/safer firing position than the other. It is possible that the officer the dog was approaching didn’t have a safe line of fire, but the other one did. Is this really that difficult a supposition to consider? It is also possible the officer that fired was more aware of the dog and the potential threat than the officer the dog was approaching. But, as I said . . . Context is everything.

Reference bump!

If there are ever any cops anywhere near you lock up your pup!

There must be a site compiling all these shootings of man (and woman’s) best friend?

Who does the the doggie ping list?

Just damn. ;-(

Wow. Argumentative for the sake of being argumentative.
