I’m for one am completely fed up with these “protocols”.

"The dog was also not licensed."

Whatta 'bout the cop?

[Mastador1]

If police are afraid of dogs how do they have the balls to deal with criminals? Oh yeah, these are the cops that deal with alleged criminals the same way..............shoot them!

[ChildOfThe60s]

We need to simplify all of this. Henceforth, all dogs within 50 of a cop have to be shot.

Problem solved. You don’t want your dog shot, make sure it’s never near a cop. Your responsibility.

independent drug test for all LEO shootings.

[ChildOfThe60s]

uh, that’s “50 feet”.

[Paladin2]

Steroid content is certainly of interest.

Could use psychological evaluation too.

Of course, a knowledge test of Constitutional limits on popo actions would be indicated too.

“The dog made a furtive movement, and I couldn’t see his hands”

[Paladin2]

Cops need to say in the front yard.

[Paladin2]

Cops need to stay in the front yard.

independent drug test for all LEO shootings.

Let me rephrase my earlier comment (oops, the mods got it) using more appropriate language. Is there a drug test that detects disgusting bullies and jerks? Feel free to replace my terms with more accurately descriptive and possibly vulgar pejoratives.

I am starting to think that this is part of their game plan-

they can’t shoot human family members so how else do they instill fear and helplessness and set the stage for a police /military state?

SHOOT THEIR DOG!!!

[RKBA Democrat]

Hmm. I wonder what the protocol actually says. See dog, shoot dog, go get donut?

[BerryDingle]

Yes, those St. Bernards are really "aggresive". Watch one kiss the baby.

This is an absolutely true statement. If you see a dog, shoot it. That IS the protocol.

"We view dog bites as potential for serious harm. If you do get bitten by a dog, it is going to cause significant injuries, so we view that as a justifiable use of a firearm."

If a cop gets near my dog, she may lick him / her to death. We passed by a PD officer on Monday investigating broken mail boxes. She expected a pat on the head and got it.
