Unless I missed it in the article they didn’t give a name of the officer...I wonder if a few of these shottings are being done by female officers not use to being around a dog...Just like if no race is in the newsarticle, we all know they aren’t white, same with being a republican or democrat....if party isn’t listed its a democrat...
It seems withholding the name has more to do with preventing the locals from identifying the particular officer than with hiding the gender of the officer; name withheld has been the case regardless of gender in all the cases I have seen.
I think wearing a sandwich board (with “I shot a Labrador” written upon it) while standing at a local major intersection would do for a beginning.
