I thought I was respectfull, short and to the point. This from the article is what I was refering to...
Barlow stated, "While this was going on I said 'please, don't point a gun at my dog.' I begged her. She didn't need to be involved in this. She was in the yard."
Neighbor Barbara Wells said, "The dog did not attack anyone. He never approached anyone. Even as the officers grabbed Sterling the dog didn't do anything."
You were not respectful.
You arrogantly insulted a fellow FReeper for no reason.
This is a simple fact and if you can’t understand this and admit it then there is something wrong with you.
As for the passages from the article you excerpt, nothing there shows that the dog was restrained. Genoa and I (and others) simply expressed the opinion that if you call the police to come to your house to investigate a violent crime then you should secure your dog away from the responding officers.
If you have some reasonable, intelligent rejoinder to this opinion then you have not yet stated it.
