[Question: don’t LEOS normally carry a baton?]

That is the question I have always wanted to ask in situations like this where a dog is involved....either a wack on the noggin of the dog with one or two of their batons or some kind of spray seems to me much preferable to cranking off a round or two where the ricochets could end up (as in this case) causing a whole helluva lot of problems. But then, what does reasoning and logic have to do with the actions of Government employees?

iirc yes... but harder to kill a dog with when the gun is so handy
