They go for your main part of your body. Neck/face/inner thigh. So overall if a 100+ dog is charging you, where previously it bit you. You wouldn't want to stop it from potentially killing or seriously injurying you?
Again it's a single dog amongst many grown arse men. It's not a feral rabid wolf. It's about common sense and understanding your surrounding. The officer was just scared to get bit.
Like I said, cops are supposed to deal with situations like this and it's a part of their job. There a select group on the OT that can't wrap their tiny brains around that fact. They all speak from their own perspective about how they'd handle the situation and that they don't want to get bit by someone's damn dog. Deadly force states what a reasonable officer would do in the situation, not a reasonable civilian. This officer will be fired and the victim's family will be awarded millions because yet again we have a person that never deserved to be a police officer to begin with.

I understand where you are coming from. But was there one officer or ten? Regardless if an animal of that size has intentions to inflict injury or death a few officers can't simply detain without some kind of force.
If the dog attacked previously once, what would stop the officer from assuming the dog would attack again. Should he attempted spray or TAZER, yes? And we don't know if he did. (Remember the media doesn't always do the officers or families justice)But to say he didn't deserve to be a cop it without seeing the fully story is ignorant.

Deadly force can be used when the officer believes there is a threat of death or serious bodily arm to him/her self or others. Pit Bulls weigh up to 80lbs. Could a charging, aggressive pit bull weight 1/3-1/2 of the officers weight be deemed a threat to his and others in the areas safety? Id certainly think so. Question is how controlled was he/she, and the other officers when they discharged their weapons.
