According to the family, and they might know better than anyone, even the police, who saw the dog for a whole 3 seconds, the dog was a bulldog. A breed which is widely considered one of the friendliest dogs on earth.

That was not a bulldog. It had legs! It may have been some kind of mix

I am merely telling you that I heard the owner on a local radio station refer to the dog as a "bulldog", that left me with an "English Bulldog" impression. In the article, the writer says that the family described the dog as a "Mixed Breed Bulldog" and the third description is from the police where they called the dog a "pitbull".

The only thing I know for sure is that my impression that he was an English Bulldog was wrong based on the video but it is unclear beyond that.

If this dog is really a "Pitbull", the Saturday Night Special Pitbull you can buy at the fairgrounds flea market for $100.00, than I would be more inclined to justify self-defense on the part of the shooting officer. That dog in the video was indeed agressively coming after the cop. Whether it planned to bite him or beat him to death with his tail can not be determined from the video. A lot of pitbull owners are coming up with different names and ways to describe their dogs because of the negative image of the name "pitbull". Show me a clear photo of the dog, that's all.

Sometimes too friendly, ever try getting a 90lb bulldog of your leg. It ain't pretty.
