As for what I said to the other poster. he said ANYONE who shoots a dog isn't a man or something of that nature. It was only my intention to point out that there are many justified reasons to shoot a dog. This scenario may or may not have been one of them.
The other poster stated:
“yeah never mind the witness statements and the picture which is posted above. please disregard those”
In picture 12, the cop has the dog clearly on the ground. I have yet to know a dog, who when pinned by a dog or human larger than itself, will not submit.
Tossing the dog down a stairwell and shooting it, just because the cop could, were uncalled for.
If the cop was physically incapable of restraining the animal, as the owner was doing, he should have left it to the owner to control his own dog.
How many of the witnesses walked away thinking highly of the cop in question, or the D.C. police department?
