All for what? Being afraid of a minor bite from a small dog?

And that's the main point, Joe. Good 'ole Roscoe P. Coltrane almost got himself and a lot of innocent people killed because of his improper discharge of a firearm. What the Hell was this wipe doing with a shotgun anyway when it was clear that there was no threat present?

Cops piss me off too, but there are the good and the bad. The defenders of the bad cops actually hurt the good cops...

The guy probably would have never become a cop if he didn't have the power to play with his toys whenever he wanted to.

I've seen all sorts of "cop" shows on TV like "Cops", "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol", "Worlds Greatest this and thats" etc. On every one, they show footage of where 10-20 cops show up to deal with one armed man. Even after he is aprehended most are still walking around with guns, shotguns and rifle up and ready to go as if they are on some battlefield. Its pathetic. Its a show of power by a bunch of cowards.

Yep - the people were covered and down - all that was left were dogs.

I can handle any dog, even a mean one, with a billy club or maglite.

You bet. And I would also say that it's a safe bet, the other LEOS on the scene were pretty damn pissed off when the idiot let loose on the shotgun, as they all jumped, and could have easily unloaded on the *family member suspects*. This has happened many times in the past, where during a critical moment, a loud noise or gunshot triggers a volley of gunfire at the suspects......
