"...the video may not demonstrate the aggressiveness or the threat the officer said he experienced as the dog came toward him."

I wonder if the video shows th "agressivenesss or the threat" to the family by these thugs acting as officers of the law? Sounds like "Good shooting" to the gunman, too bad one of the family didn't act up so we could have had more practice.

the video shows the family begging the troopers to close the door; one was almost at the door and could have easily done so. this was a setup to let the psycho local yokel have his kicks.

as nauseating as the video may be, the cover-up is worse: total disregard for the truth and the values of freedom we hold so dear is ingrained in this department and the trooper(s) who condoned this action. i live in eastern tennessee (tri cities) and this is not the type of person i know as our troopers and local pd guys. both the shooter and the trooper who was complicit need to be terminated (employment-wise)
