The dog was shot in the back of the head. How does one shoot a charging animal in the back of the head?
Why would the police not charge an owner who certainly merited a fine for violating a leash law, or a fine for failing to contain an aggressive animal?
You can’t envision a scenereo where a police officer would rightly fire upon a dog that is charging? Are you suggesting that the only time a LEO may fire upon a charging dog is when the LEO is the one being charged by the animal? Seriously? This article states there was a student that the dog was charging. Is it really difficult to see that the officer was protecting the student?
It was shot in the back of the head (I assume—read the comments) because it had someone pinned behind a tree. The to (last) comment seems the most cogent. I will say, reading them really makes me depressed about the state of education, but that’s a whole other thread. Again, do you have some information you’re not sharing with us or do you just hate cops this much?
