JBTS Alert!
Don't be ridiculous.
The cops were in the wrong. Wrong house.
However, once the dog had the cop by the ankle there was only one obvious outcome.
It is wrong that an innocent dog was killed. In most of these cases the dog that gets shot isn't even attacking. Those cases bother me more than this one where the dog did attack. Plus, it wasn't a screwed up drug bust, it was a reported home invasion.
However, none of that negates the fact that police officers are human beings and have people who care about them and want them to come home safe. It's true just as it's true that your family wants the same.
