Did he pull the dog out before or after he shot it.

I knew there would be a comment like this when I read the headline.

Look I know a lot of police officers and I can tell you none would ever shoot a dog unless necessary. Yes, there are a tiny amount of real jerks out there who do shoot. Maybe some of this is because they are poorly trained. Some of it is because of the lower standards that many cities have for police officers. This is brought on by affirmative action and political correctness. I know one K9 officer who really loves his dog. But there are 315 million Americans so you are gonna get a few rotten eggs. The problem is that any time it happens, the story gets out on the news and this forms people's opinions.

It is the unlawful and unjustified shooting of a dog, not the reporting of said shooting, that forms people’s opinions.

But the good cops deserve accolades when they do The Right Thing.

Yep- no matter how upbeat, there are those that have tom make it a negative.

Good for the cop. Great for the dog. I hope it gets a good home.
