Drug dealers often train their dogs to attack and kill, so there was no way for the cop to know what he was facing.
Give me a break. The guy was in the car with his family. They told the cop the dog was harmless. He was wagging his tail. Also, the family specifically tried to keep the dogs in the car which the cop could easily have agreed to. It's unbelievable to me that anyone would try to defend the actions of the police here.

"...Anyone with an IQ above room temperature should have figured out within 5 seconds that these were NOT bank robbers..." Gee, Bill...I sure wish I had your clairvoyance!
I see. So you think that it takes "clairvoyance" to recognize that robbers don't bring their wife and kids and dogs and packed luggage with them? Not to mention how cooperative and confused they were. Here's a dollar, buy a clue.

The Herald-Citizen reports that "to an average viewer, the scene recorded on the video may not demonstrate the aggressiveness or the threat the officer said he experienced as the dog came toward him." Also known as the "who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" defense.

. It's unbelievable to me that anyone would try to defend the actions of the police here.There is a certain set of freepers who feel that no actions by law enforcement can ever be wrong. No matter what they always make excuses for law enforcement.

Sorry. Mea culpa. Misread your comment about the words being said.

About 4 years ago in NC I think. Raided the house of a gun show promoter and stomped the kitten flat. No consequences (of course). About 1996. In Pennsylvania. Was indeed a gun-show promoter. They were allegedly looking for an "unregistered Thompson submachinegun", which was in fact a semi-auto Thompson gun lookalike. Which he no longer owned.

Buy a clue:
You are on a CONSERVATIVE discussion board and the overwhelming sense ranges between firing the cop and letting the family have at him with clubs and hot pokers.
Either conservatism has taken a strange turn, or cops have become jack-booted thugs. Which do you think is more likely to be the correct objective answer?

"...and stomped the kitten flat." I'm sure you've got chapter and verse to justify this, too, Mr. W. Sepulchre.
The raid was on May 25, 1994 in Pennsylvania committed against Harry and Theresa Lumplugh. Google for "kitten BATF Lumplugh" for more details.

Those are fine sentiments, and I live in a town lucky enough to have really good public schools. But that doesn't change the fact that public schools in the U.S. have gotten so bad they should be disbanded. The same thing would be beneficial to PDs: scrap them, put in psychological tests to weed out the yahoos, and rebuild - and get rid of laws that let PDs and podunk towns keep fines and siezures.

There is a certain set of freepers who feel that no actions by law enforcement can ever be wrongI have never read a comment by any Freeper who believes that. What many of us do believe is that all evidence and information should be available before we convict and hang a cop! There are some freepers who will jump at the chance to attack law enforcement and I am not talking about just the ATF and FBI! Cops are tried and convicted here every day before the evidence is in!

the dog attacked a cop
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I once had a half a bee that got caught in a door. Named him Eric.

From the shotgun slaying of a 12 year old, to Waco to Ruby Ridge I have yet to see anything where some freepers didn't jump to the defence of LE.

Cops are tried and convicted here every day before the evidence is in! If police were more selective and critical of their own, it would not be neccssary to make an example of Eric "Dog Killer" Hall. If the headline had been "Cop shoots dog in egregious error, gets fired." it would be over.
As it is, he, and his family if anyone would be married to him, will have to live with the assesment of the majority of the people here for the rest of his life. That video is part of the record forever now, and available all over the planet at the touch of a button. If you were Eric Hall, you'd be feeling a little low by now.

"It's unbelievable to me that anyone would try to defend the actions of the police here."
"There is a certain set of freepers who feel that no actions by law enforcement can ever be wrong. No matter what they always make excuses for law enforcement."
These are the same gestapo boot-licking neo-con statist toadies, sycophants & lackeys that feel that Waco, Ruby Ridge and Vietnam were justified "Police actions" and will stand by the GOP even if they legislate mandated abortions for all women with more than 2 children and raised our taxes to 80% to pay for it...
