Just wondering what you thought of this story. It kind of pisses me off.

Well, that another thing.............A shotgun or a pistol is not going to take a dogs head off. That was one of the things in the story that told me the reporter was trying to sensationalize the story. Remember the reporter was trying to write and article to sell news papers. Sorry IAB, I don't trust the media with the truth.

If the Officer felt in anyway threatened...he had full rights to do as he did. The dog would, and I say with almost 95% certainty, have become aggressive towards the officers if they had in anyway made a move towards the owners.

CNN sucks on many levels but It really sucks when you have to pay to watch video's there.

One has to think there is more to the story, because if there isn't, like IAB said, it is a diaster for the local police.

mma: The dog ran away from the road.
If you watch the video, you can see at least three officers within arm's length of the door.
but this was a mid-size bulldog. It could have been stopped with mace or a thwap to the head with the butt end of the shotgun.

Of course! Just a healthy debate.
Do you really think shooting the dog was necessary? About three seconds went by between the time the dog hopped out the car and the time the cop shot him. Seems like a knee-jerk reaction rather than a cop accessing the situation and thinking first.

I thought I could hear the dog growling as he charged the police officer! I'd be scared and threatened too of that type of dog!
