“As the officer called out to the woman repeatedly concerning her welfare, the dog began to run towards the officer while barking.The officer walked backwards from the running dog while drawing his gun.”

What part of the fact that the officer was being rushed by a barking dog as he backed up, surely throwing him off balance, do you all not understand? A barking dog was coming straight at him. I wonder if the dog was a pit bull or other more predatory large dog. Makes a difference as to response. Obviously the cop was feeling quite threatened by this charging dog coming right at him.

There are some real cop haters that hop on these threads. I wonder why.

My substitute mail lady, a wonderful woman, was delivering a signature required letter to a woman who opened her door a crack to receive the letter as her pit bull dog lunged out of the partially opened door and bit the mail lady’s finger off, as well as biting her in the leg, All community service workers are frequently subject to attack by dogs. Their jobs are made infinitely more perilous by unnecessary run-ins with uncontrolled or loose animals.

You people (too many of you) weren’t there or put into a bad scenario not of your own choice, Lay off the Cops. Too many Freepers leap to judgment about circumstances these folks are placed into, without knowing how it really went down. It’s imminently obvious that this Cop was there with the best of intentions when suddenly circumstances changed and went south fast.

Too many of you are sounding just like Mayor Bill deBlasio in New York today as he called a press conference to condemn a Cop for doing his duty in trying to stop a huge man by wrestling him to the ground (along with his fellow Cops) a guy who was totally resisting arrest. A sickening example of a socialist Mayor pandering to Blacks (he’s married to a formerly lesbian Black woman) as he is running for President. The Cops all hate deBlasio as he never has their backs. Walk in a Cop’s shoes before casting aspersions their way.
