The dog ran across it's property. Unless it LEFT said property, it was no threat. Period. If you are not ON said property a dog not LEAVING said property is no threat.
Are you STILL having problems with this utterly simple calculus?
How can you be sure the dog knew where the property line was, and intended to stop? Maybe the dog hadn’t been privy to a copy of the deed or local property records ... so it wouldn’t know exactly where it should stop its attack.
Good grief. Its an invisible line. There is no reason for a cop to think a charging dog is going to respect property lines ... and there is simply no legal reason that he would need to wait for the dog to break the invisible property line before defending himself.
Do you honestly expect someone (cop or otherwise) to survey property lines when a dog charges them? Haha.
This is ridiculous. You’re talking about “calculus” and “logic” when your whole argument rests on a dog recognizing property lines ...
What a crock.
