That's Funny!

The police need to be de-militarized and a workable procedure for dealing with animal occupants of stopped vehicles should be created. The officer in question should apologize, and the family should be modestly compensated (by settlement). As for me, I'm going to restrain my dogs while transporting them from now on.

Simple fact is the guy shot 3 seconds after the dog left the car -- clearly a dramatic & unnecessary overreaction. It's difficult to believe this was "life-threatening" - with several other armed law enforcement types within a step or two of him, it's difficult to believe that anything short of a bengal tiger could have caused life-threatening injuries before they could have come to his aid. This guy should not be a gun-toting law enforcement type. What if a 6-year old kid had leaped out of the car and run at him with a pocket knife??
