You are so knowing about time... the entire incident from the time the car stopped to the time the dog was shot was under 3 minutes. The LAST suspect was being handcuffed when the dog got out of the car. There are FOUR officers with THREE suspects counting Officer Hall acting as backup at a safer distance. The pleas to close the door occur only in the last 30 seconds or so. This is NOT a long time. The four officers were occupied with safely securing the human suspects.
The report on the breed of the dog is on the local TV station website.
Well, I knew enough not to claim it was THREE SECONDS.
In any event, the time and circumstances of the officers' failure to close the door, as well as other unanswered questions, will be gone over in great detail as the civil case proceeds.
