If they are out of control enough to shoot a police dog, they are out of control enough to shoot a fellow officer or a bystander.

Somebody needs a new career.

Patently false. If a dog is between you and the perp, it is the moral equivalent of a houseplant if you shoot "through" it.

Not so with a human being, made in the image of God.

They are not remotely the same thing.

Where do you read they were out of control? Could a shot have ricocheted and struck the dog?

[Osage Orange]

Sorry...respectfully disagree with you both...at this point. I don't know the whole story...haven't read the police report either.

Could the dog have jumped at the perp...only to have a bullet hit him?

Sure...bad cops exist. But I'm not ready to label these cops out of control. Nope...not yet.

FWIW-
