Is it just me or have dogs become targets of opportunity for trigger happy types?

It's not just you. I have to admit I'm bothered by this recent rash of cops shooting dogs. Naturally they always say they were justified however I'm having a hard time seeing that given the written account. This is one that seems questionable to me. If the cops are so afraid of dogs, maybe they should get someone else to handle the calls where there may be such contact. They seem to be a little quick to draw and shoot.

Here in the hood, the drug boys have figured out that the cops are slowed down a good bit by a ill-tempered dog, and no one goes to jail for resisting or assault on an officer. In the meantime, the drug boys are going from slum to slum without pursuit.
