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.

I don't care about him shooting it tbh. I wouldn't have shot it but i've also been in a similar situation and I know what I can handle. So shooting the dog is not an issue. Shooting the dog in close quarters with civilians and other officers around is the huge problem and why they will be found liable for the death.

Know your freaking target and what's beyond it. There's no way he acted with regard for the safety of the public if one of the rounds were able to stike a person in the chest. If the only negative were him taking some bites from a dog then he's wrong. He won't be guilty of murder or manslaughter or anything like that but he was wrong plain and simple.
