..this was an enormous screw up by those cops, and now they are scrambling to do damage control. We should be thankful their ineptitude didn't kill a person....

Exactly.

Just by the way I don't think the shooting was an accident. My guess is that shooting arrestees' dogs when they are running loose at the scene is SOP for this outfit. What better way to intimidate the owner into immediate submission? I find it very pertinent that the boss cop is so arrogant as to expect us to disbelieve the evidence of our own eyes. He has the air of someone who's an expert in stonewalling with lies. What we should really be thinking about after viewing this video is the number of BATF raids on gun dealers homes, where someone in the family has been shot, and the agency head has then said 'we were only defending ourselves.' Hopefully all gun dealers and others under direct threat from police state agencies have installed those cheap mini cameras in their homes, thereby giving a chance to record cop brutality, in the same way it has been recorded with this dog shooting.

Killing dogs has become SOP for too many cops, beginning with the BATF. If a dog is within 50 feet it "could" present a threat, so shoot it preemptively seems to be the law of the land.

BTW, I have also read Point of Impact about ten times, and I think you might enjoy "Enemies Foreign And Domestic" just as much. There is even an episode of preemptive dog killing.
