Yea I’m glad they missed the dog but they hit the woman.
Tazers don’t work on dogs?
It can work, but it isn’t as nearly as effective as when it works on humans.

Keep in mind that there is apparently a relatively small but significant percentage of the adult *human* population that the Taser doesn’t actually do *anything* to except maybe give them a little tingle at worst. Apparently some peoples’ nervous systems simply are not significantly affected.
On the other hand, this particular department has had some deserved and some undeserved bad press about being *extremely* Taser-happy in recent years to the point where they were a bit overenthusiastic about Taser use and some people died. Including one incident where two cops decided to Tase a man who had soaked himself in gasoline despite another cop on the scene yelling at them not to because the Taser would ignite the gasoline and the man would go up like a torch. The two officers pulled their Taser triggers anyway and the man unsurprisingly immediately exploded into flame and died. It’s more than possible that APD officers have now been trained to NOT use the Taser in similar circumstances.
If this was the Fire Chief’s daughter, this is going to get *real* ugly behind the scenes real fast.
And pass up a chance to shoot a dog????
You expect a lot from cops.
