can you say you wouldn’t have fired?
I absolutely positively would not have fired. A 40 lb dog doesn’t scare me that much and is not an immediately lethal threat. I’ve been attacked and bitten many times. A cop has a duty to the community before and as well as to himself. Back when cops were men they knew this. Back when cops were men they’d have been disgusted by this display of abject cowardice.
Did you see last night’s thread where the cop doesn’t manually detain a 65 year old woman, but tazes her on the ground? Another real man...
