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.

I think the biggest point in this debate is the Police were 100% wrong and negligent from the beginning. Even before they told the Cops they had dogs, the Police were very much IN THE WRONG. A report of money flying out of a car is not even a report of a crime so the Bozo Police were absolutely wrong from the start. There was NO reported crime and no evidence of a crime
except maybe littering. Now if we turn our brains on we would realize that someone reporting they see money flying out of a car could possibly be mistaken (it was night time). ALL of those policemen NEED to be fired and see SOME jail time. The public entrusts the police with the right to use deadly force this is a solemn and serious duty if ANYBODY abuses this entrustment they MUST be fired and punished. This is serious stuff forget the dog part the shooter welded deadly force with reckless abandon he could have kill a person very easily.
Police SERVE the Public at least that is the way it supposed to be. Currently it looks like many Police feel the public is subservient to them. This is a dangerous slippery sloop.
