In the turn of responding I simply also generalize. That is not necessarily directing something at you; it’s just the course of conversation. Sorry.

There’s your police summary along with an article.
Someone else here already posted the original thread which led to that information.
BTW, because of someone’s post on the original thread, I assumed this dog was a (black) German Shepherd (the death pix looks like it). Yet I haven’t seen reference to a breed yet - why assume it’s a Lab? Not that it really matters - a charging dog is a charging dog.
I’m the 1 who wrote “seemed to be attacking”, because I’m not sure as I didn’t experience it. Just going by the word of the police.
This situation is more understandable than some of the other “shot in the back yard before entering the gate” cases that have sometimes passed through. The dog was interfering, at least it seems. I can understand being flustered by that while trying to knock down a violent criminal.
Fair enough. Context is difficult to pick up when reading typed words.
I appreciate the link...the police have released their version.
I’m guessing Monkey was a mixed breed based on the pic. Temperments can be a sketchy thing with mixed breeds.
Not saying one way or the other, purely anecdotal based on my experiences. YMMV
I’m going to have to slap myself each time before I think about posting on cop shoots dog threads. They can get too emotionally charged.
