They killed my son over a dog," said Donald James Jackson of the West End.

No, they killed your son because he was threatening people with a gun.

No, they killed your son because it was clear that he was going to kill someone. He killed the dog, and a person (or persons) were going to be next.

Two dead dogs in the street...

One died a brave and selfless death under hostile fire....

The other one was rabid...
The authorities rightfully put him down.

If you would have controlled your son at 3 he wouldnt be out of control at 19. The police didnt kill your son.... you did.

Exactly. Regardless of others’ opinions on whether or not the dog should have counted as an LEO, he was still firing a gun in the general direction of the officers on the scene, and as far as I’m concerned that’s plenty of cause for the officers to have shot him - how were they to know he was actually intending to shoot the dog, and it didn’t just get in the way, or he missed and shot it instead of the officer he was aiming for, or something like that? In general, pointing, and especially firing, a gun in the direction of an LEO is probably the stupidest thing this guy could’ve done, and basically asking to be shot.
