I have not heard the other side of this story. And as you are well aware there always are two sides to a story.

In my 37 years of driving in city of Chicago, I had plenty of encounters with Chicago cops. Some were corrupt, some were rude, but I can’t recall a single incident when I felt threatened. So until I hear the cop’s side of this story, I will give benefit of doubt to the cop.

I have had pet dogs for 30 years as an adult, and also growing up as a kid. Dogs are animals. Many of them carry the instincts carried over from millions of years of evolution from wolves. They are pack animals. They act very sweet with people they are familiar with. They instinctively do not trust strangers.

If the cop felt the dog was about to bite him, he has every right to stop the dog by making an instant decision. You were not there and neither was I. Was it a over-reaction? Probably. But any reaction done in a couple of seconds is going to be instinctive, not thoughtful.
