Sounds like a very aggressive bear that charged the officer. Nothing like a euphemistic "ran toward the officer".

It certainly was not afraid of humans, or it would have been miles away from the house.

Bears will aggressively guard their toilet paper.

“It’s not altogether uncommon for dogs to set us up by harassing a bear and then leaving the scene and the bears then come after the human, which is way easier to catch,” she said.

Didn’t I see this exact quote in another bear attack article earlier today?

This is why a person should only let coonhounds outside if bears are known to be around. At least then they’ll just tree the thing, and you don’t worry about being attacked. They’ll also protect you from the stuff as well.

semi-joking aside, this lady sure is lucky. If she knew about bears on the property, she should of been taking proper precautions (ie winchester defender).

Mama Bear + Threatened Cubs = Big Trouble.
This is normal behavior for bears.

Lucky for the officer it wasn’t a dog or he’d be crucified.

Never get between a mother bear and her cubs.

"A woman was attacked by a 190 lb. black bear in northern Minnesota on Monday night after her dog chased after its yearling cubs."

190 pounds? That seems like an awful small black bear for a full grown mama bear. They are usually at least around 300 pounds up to 700 + pounds. On a side note, here in Pennsylvania, we have been having a growth of our bear population in the past 10 + years. Bear season used to only be one day, it is now three days and hunters are harvesting a lot of bears. No, I have not gotten one yet. Maybe this year will be my year.

She was a female with cubs.

Besides, the woman was dressed provactively.
