If this cop felt 'threatened' by the wagging tail...I'd hate to see how he would treat a person who was a little angry! Get this fool with a loaded gun off the streets!! And make him pay for killing their family member!!!

I just watched the CNN version of the video tape. I have also seen the unedited raw footage. There is no comparison between the two. The CNN footage has been edited to put the police in the worst light and does NOT SHOW THE ENTIRE EVENT. The ZOOM in on the shooting police officer is an artifact of the editor's creative use of his zoom stick. It removes from the picture the leap of the dog AT VERY CLOSE RANGE to the officer... and the cut right before it eliminates the officer backing up, retreating before the charging dog.

This is editoral MALPRACTICE!

You mean I could of shot my neighbors dog because it lept up at me to get petted? Every dog I've encountered 'leaps' up on you to get petted. This cop obvisouly needs to be out in the real world a little more...without his loaded gun.

Where might we all see this unedited raw footage?
