We could do this all night. If the cop thought the dog was about to attack, it was a lawful discharge.

Where the ricochet went might have been bad, but that shouldn't preclude the officer protecting himself against an attacking dog.

“If the cop thought the dog was about to attack, it was a lawful discharge.”

That is an extremely low threshhold and is abused.

“Where the ricochet went might have been bad, but that shouldn’t preclude the officer protecting himself against an attacking dog.”

So its ok for a cop to shoot a dog even if there’s a woman standing behind it and in the line of fire?

I bet it went down an awful lot like this.. Insane cops are out there killing dogs and a lot are on video. The need to be locked up the same as kids that tear up hamsters and so on as potential serial kilers.

You got to be shitting me. That kind of thinking gets people killed and in the real world, folks arrested. Only cops get away with this crap and you know it!
