I feel more sympathy for the police officer(s) forced to down a gun wielding suspect and the dead K-9 partner than anyone that brandishes a handgun in a threatening manner to law enforcement and ends up dead for it.

The suspect is confronted, pulls a gun out from under his shirt? Yeah, sorry buddy, wrong move. You didn't get shot over a dog. You fired shots at police officers and were hit by returned fire.

I would like to second that! It's tragic that there was a loss of life on both ends, however, I find it difficult to believe that this man had no idea he was firing at an officer.

firing at an officer or not, can you realistically expect any human being to sit there and take a dog attack just because some cop ordered them too? I think any human being with a gun sees a dog coming at them in attack mode is likely to shoot. Survival instinct being what it is.

As of right now, this one definately smells a bit off.
