What scene did he approach? He was well outside the area. If police wanted them further away, that's why they have police tape.

George Carlin had it right, we don't have rights, we have privileges. Rights cannot be taken away.

I was going to make a joke about cops training for the LAPD...but the reality is, once that dog came out they did what they could to avoid shooting it. You can actually see the cops trying to grab the leash which would have given them control of the dog but they couldn't reach it. The dog lunges twice and the cops back off each time on the third time that's when they shot.
Looking at another story that's a 130lb rottweiler. They can't take the risk of that dog going full attack mode trying to protect it's owner. They can't know if that dog is trained to attack/fight. A dog that size can pull a person down easy, once you're on the ground if it goes for your throat it can be game over right there. Shitty situation, no doubt but the cops weren't malicious about it. They tried to control the dog, they tried to back off but when the dog kept snapping at them they fired. About the only thing I wish they did was after then shot it and it was struggling put it out of it's misery. The problem is A that can be misinterpreted as malice rather than mercy and B shot dogs can be saved sometimes.

It's not going to be good for the dog, but it's a far better outcome than shooting it. If you look at other similar incidents, it seems extremely likely that the dog would have been briefly incapacitated, but otherwise fine.

If the asshole got shot by some stray gunfire, then you'd be blaming the police for that as well. |

Are you serious? There were other people also recording it, including the video we all just watched 20 feet away from this guy. He stayed on the perimeter, on the outside of the police cars. The guy was getting in his car when the cops started walking toward him. You couldn't have a conversation that you'd like him to move away for his own safety? You needed to cuff him? And could they not have had some awareness that the guy's large dog was in the car with open windows and may be a threat before it got to the point that they had to shoot him?

This is a situation that while violent, i wish the officer had employed the bas rutten method for dealing with medium to large size animals.

There are a few choice words.

Why couldn't they have sprayed it or tazed it first? Pulling out the pistol is easy mode.
The dog was being a good dog. Protecting his owner from what he perceived as bad guys. The dog just sort of jumped at the cop. I mean, even hit it with your stick Why should killing be the first option? |

Once again, if the police didn't want people that close, they have police tape just for that specific purpose.
