ERDoc Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's hard not to be touchy when someone is being put down for protecting themselves from imminent danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSL2786 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) I certainly do not agree that he was in imminent danger Edited August 31, 2012 by KSL2786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDoc Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Good point. No one has ever been killed by being attacked by a dog. Good thing it wasn't a bear. EDIT: spelling mistake Edited August 31, 2012 by ERDoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSL2786 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited August 31, 2012 by KSL2786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramedicmike Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So a dog that had just attacked a woman bystander and then charges a cop isn't a dangerous situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSL2786 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm just saying it could have been handled much differently. Shooting the dog was overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramedicmike Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ok. How would you have handled a charging dog that had just attacked another bystander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSL2786 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 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.

ERDoc Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 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.
