today this happened in the city i work for. watch it before youtube deletes the video

probablly options.
tazer first, that didnt work, the dog might have been next, and then the kid goes to swing. the officer wasnt going to let the dog go and then start shooting and possibly shoot the dog.

 

you live in AZ, you should understand this. you do not shoot to injure or immobilize. you shoot to kill to prevent EXPENSIVE lawsuits.

 

I personally have never seen a dog be of use in this type of situation, even though its right there, ALOT could have gone done in a second that the dog was sent on him, The cop that shot could have very well saved his partner's life today. The suspect knew what he was getting into, there really shouldn't be any sympathy felt for him IMO but everyone has their opinions, and Im glad you have yours. It would suck if everyone had the same opinion as I or many of the other members about this.

 

Just an FYI to those not in the know,
Deadly force is that force which a person uses to create a substantial risk of causing death or serious bodily harm.

serious bodily harm is deep cuts, lacerations, torn members of the body, and serious damage to internal or sensory organs. (i.e. a blow to the head with an object)

 

He charged dumbass, that's intent. Once he swings the officer is 1/2 second from being read.

 

Lulz

 

This guy just doesn't get it; never will either.

 

I feel for that cop. Now he has a bunch of paperwork, get investigated, time off, all because some punk. Sad for the idiots family. After all is said... would have done the same thing!

 

How can he even say such stuff like dog is not a human, what a retard.

 

+1 My 12 year old lab has been in my life 4 years longer than my wife. He's been there through the roughest and the best.

He's getting old, not doing so hot .. gonna miss him.

 

Good stuff...Thanks for sharing!

 

this would be alot different if that dude connected with that officer and the officer died, it was a split second decision that had to be done and unfortunately that guys actions cost him his life

 

Have you ever eaten at a Hardee's?

 

There's no need for it. It'll only makes the view of law enforcement worse. When a cop has to protect himself like that, the public view it negatively. He could have done this or that. If anyone else was put into that situation I'm sure most would have done the same thing. You only have a split second to react and then the whole world sits there and gets to tear you apart for it. Since there is video I guarantee that there will be a law suit to follow.

 

Heres a comparison, If a big ass grizzly bear is running at you teeth, claws the whole 9 yards, what would your reaction be
a) Act like Rosie O'donald and say "well we better not kill him because that would be immoral, hey yell and see if he stops"
b) Shoot once and pray to God it falls
c) Do what you have to do to stop that big SOB, in return saving your life.

 

Ban this guy

 

I am an idiot because I have a question? I would rather have a dog injured or dead rather thank a human..
