Officer fears for his life from this:

I am biting my tongue.

I’ve been a dog owner for 25 years and I’ve worked in an animal shelter. I can tell you that dog was not aggressive. That dog was going up to him to be petted.

Had this a K-9 officer he would have known this.

That cop was just being an asshole, in my opinion.

Those cops are animals. A golden retriever would like them to death is all. Cops deserve their reputation. I used to support them even when a few go rouge. But all of them have gotten to big for their britches.

It doesn’t have to be this way with friendly dogs. Many years ago, we were driving to church on Sunday morning. A police car was stopped onthe bridge, and the policeman was trying to get the loose dog into his car. The dog was playful, but unwilling to get in the backseat like a common criminal. When the cop offered the front seat, he jumped right in. Problem solved. Good cop. Good dog.

Was the Golden packing heat? Possibly a bone shaped like a gun?

Cops need to police their own. If they allow bad cops in their ranks, it is their fault. My dad was a career cop, 1960’s to 1990’s, and they got rid of the cowards, the bullies, and the abusive as fast as possible. A good police force is so valuable, a bad one is a blight on the community and leads to this kind of thing.

Shooting a dog like this is a cowardly thing, he should be shamed out of the job and not ever work as any authority again.

Agreed that dog was not showing signs of aggression, however for someone not familiar with dogs they could easily react to any animal coming at them as a threat.

Shooting in a neighborhood? Like a scene out of It’s A Wonderful Life where Bert was shooting down the street where people were walking.

He obviously couldn’t tell the dog was acting friendly or just didn’t care and wanted to assert his authority.

Is this cop a psychopath?

No, but likely trained in the protocol that as long as one is acting according to the letter of the law, versus its intent, then such actions will be considered justified. And or he was not trained in real life scenarios how to recognize an actual threat from a real one, and how to handle the latter from dogs (most at least) and even some humans without using weapons. And or was not in good physical and mental shape to so do.
