I guess all cops must be sissy's these days. Dogs bark, growl, sniff. The cop got to close to the car. Walk away. Jeez! No common sense anymore. Black kid trying to run from you? So what? It's not like he's going anywhere, you'll run into him again. Unless the guy is committing a felony in plain view and runs there is no cause to shoot period. Even then, there are less lethal means to stop the guy.

30 years ago I knew cops in a big city who had been on the job 20 years and had never even drawn their weapon much less gunned anybody down. These guys are out of control. People will start just shooting at them as they roll up.

Highway patrol looses more guys then any other department. They pull guys over, the guy has drugs, he's going away for the rest of life, might as well kill the cop. That gives him a chance to get away.

So my advice to all the Barney's out there. Calm down!

I’ve never heard of a mailman, a FedEx delivery man or a Mormon Missionary having to kill a dog. These cops are trigger happy. “I’ve got a gun and by God I’m gonna’ shoot somethin’!”
