This punk committed armed robbery, he beat a man down to the ground- for a toy.
What if he would have killed this guy? -for a toy
He was considered armed and dangerous, and now he's dead- over a toy
Good riddance.
The police acted properly, no point having a good officer killed taking any chances with a punk who obviously is violent and unpredictable. As far as the dog goes, people like that train them to be mean, not to mention a shepard is naturaly defensive to begin with. It was shot for good reason, too bad. It's probably better off now anyways.

Now, there will be a slight drop in the local crime.

If you pick up a gun beat and rob people with it, then you better be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Once again, no gun was used in this crime or it would have been mentioned and the charges would have reflected it. If one was, then the other lad who was arrested wouldn't have been able to post bond so quickly as he would have been either remanded, or given $300,000 bail. "Deadly weapon" can mean anything they want it to.

Nobody's saying they shouldn't have been prosecuted, but deadly force?? Come on. The thing that disturbs me about all of these incidents is just the whole "Waco" mentality of these policies. They could have just grabbed him out of class during the day. Just like they could have nabbed David Koresh out on one of his daily jogs. But those procedures don't allow them to "inventory" the premises and seize property so easily.
