I am not saying they did not, in fact my original post stated as much. However, and this is a very big however.. to assume that any human being will sit and TAKE a dog attack just because a cop says so is insanity.
To further assume that because that person defended themselves from that attack and kills the dog, that he is threatening others is a stretch.
This one doesn’t pass the smell tests folks. I am not saying the cops are inately in the wrong, the investigation will be go on. But on the surface so far there are enough questions to make a rational person wonder.
If he had complied with the police order to show his hands, he would be alive. Reasonable people know that. And THAT passes the smell test for me.
