PD Shoots Dog, Ignores Seizure Victim

[ERDoc]

It's hard not to be touchy when someone is being put down for protecting themselves from imminent danger.

[KSL2786]

I certainly do not agree that he was in imminent danger

Good point. No one has ever been killed by being attacked by a dog. Good thing it wasn't a bear.

EDIT: spelling mistake

A bear would be a bit more justifiable. But that dog cant weigh more than like 50lbs. That officer is a pansy if you ask me.

Haha just look at the snapshot. How pathetic

So a dog that had just attacked a woman bystander and then charges a cop isn't a dangerous situation?

[KSL2786]

I'm just saying it could have been handled much differently. Shooting the dog was overkill.

[paramedicmike]

Ok. How would you have handled a charging dog that had just attacked another bystander?

[KSL2786]

It was an abuse of power, in my eyes. Dog didn't need to be shot, my grandmother could have subdued that dog.

I already told you I would walk right up to it and tackle it. Its a DOG!!!!! Yeah, you might get bit. I"m not a pussy. Theres no way you wont get the dog restrained within a matter of seconds.

Look at the video, not the snapshot. I can make a snapshot that makes Paul Ryan look like a communist. That is 50 lbs of animal instinct set to fight, which makes for a very dangerous situation. Again, you are right, no 50 lbs dog has ever killed or maimed someone.

[paramedicmike]

I'm very inclided to think you have very little experience with dogs.
