I agree.
If the dog owners did nothing wrong, why was their dog shot?
So anther cop gets to learn the secret handshake?
BINGO!
I think she screwed up and they couldn’t bring charges. But I could be wrong.
There is something strange about this story. If a large aggressive dog was chasing a kid with intent to bite, the shooting would be justified. But dogs chase kids all the time and play with them and kids run from dogs and play back all the time. We had a dog who came out during recess and played with us all the time like that and no body got bit - ever. Hostile intent on neither side need necessarily be there. How do you tell the difference? I don’t know. Has the dog had a track record of biting people? How old was it? Did it know the kid and was it playing with him/her? How could the cop tell? Should a cop shoot when its not clear what the situation is? Is it fair to second guess the cop when you weren’t there?
It just seems like there are too many incidents of cops shooting dogs these days.
yes, I’ve been thinking that there’s some kind of signalling
going on with all the puppycides (canicide, if you prefer)
