Yeah cops are part of the community.
But, how can the cop be 100% shure that the dog was restrained though?
I mean last I checked golden retrievers have long flowing fur which would visually obscure a restraining collar, and without a sign there would be no telling.
I don’t understand why everyone expects the cop to wait until he’s bitten before taking action
The cop had NO reason to trespass on private property.
Presumably police officers regularly encounter dogs — both friendly and not-friendly — in the course of their duties. Doesn’t police training include techniques to handle an approaching dog short of opening fire?
