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.

I agree. It will lead to termination. But hopefully this department has body cams and audio recorders. Regardless we don't need to be calling the officer a coward or saying he shouldn't of been a cop until we get the full details and videos.

All of this. How many other tools did the officer have at his disposal before pulling his gun? Just seems like everybody, from the cops to the thugs, are trigger happy these days.
