These guys obviously don’t know to look beyond target. When you are shooting at a target, know what is behind it. If you miss your target or if the bullet penetrates the target, it is your responsibility.
Most police carry 9mm or .40...lots of penetration on a dog...not to mention a dog coming at you face first does not present a very large target area and you are more likely to miss or penetrate at an angle just about ensuring that the bullet will continue and cause damage or death beyond.
These cops need training and understanding. Shooting in an apartment building should be about the last resort unless confronted by a imminent life or death situation. A dog hardly qualifies as that, especially when other residents offer to take the dog into their apartment!!!
No, these cops need firing. Cops love shooting dogs.
I left Home Depot Saturday just after dark to find 3 large dogs lying by my truck door. I nicely said “you pups need to go home before you get run over.” One was a pit bull which began growling and advancing on me. I raised my arms and yelled menacingly, which caused the 3 to run. I had my carry weapon (9mm) but didn’t want to shoot with bystanders behind the dogs. Dogs were about 6 feet away, knew I had time to unholster and shoot.
Some cops just hate dogs.
