If the dog attacked the police, then it was doing it's job. Dogs are supposed to attack intruders kicking in your door.
I thought that's generally the case.
"If the dog attacked the police, then it was doing it's job."
It was an illegal act on the dog's part, so they shot him.

Just what I was thinking. I'd like to think even my normally loving, docile dogs would become agressive if someone burst in and started pushing my family around.
Besides, as someone else pointed out, the dog wouldn't run from the kitchen to the bathroom if it was after the cop, would it? No. It would attached by its teeth to some part of the cop's body. Given that, let's take a pop quiz. If you're the cops, what's the best thing to do in this situation?
A) Shoot the dog
B) Close the bathroom door, rendering the door harmless.
Okay! Round Two. You want to catch an 18 year old citizen-gone-wrong, who's selling pot... do you:
A) Put some cop in a car outside the apartment, wait for the 18 year old to show up, and arrest him on sight? or...
B) Bust into the family's apartment, pepper-spray children, handcuff everyone and kill their dog?
Well, I guess we know what THEIR answer is.
