You make laws re: dogs as officers for every case, not just this one. I doubt there was any intent by the perp to shoot the dog. Why isn’t it enough to hit him with one charge of attempted murder for each officer there? Again dogs aren’t people. They used to euthanize police dogs at retirement. They can be problematic, behaviorally. They aren’t all Lassie.
I don’t know what he’s been charged with - I haven’t seen the charges delineated.
You seem to be conflating a lot of concerns that aren’t mentioned in the article.
Do you simply believe that police should not use dogs at all?
