Sounds like more training is needed or this may get bigger. According to this article dogs are shot during drug busts, just because.

Social media is allowing rare instances to be brought together and looked at together all at once. Phone cameras, in car cameras and security cameras are recording it. People like me, who consider our dog to be a member of the family are getting unnecessarily agitated.

Wow it has made Drudge Report.

A liberal friend, who lives in Austin, has seen the video, and has blamed me and my guns on Facebook for this incident. Also got Zimmerman in there at the same time.

My gut says he overreacted big time to the dog coming to investigate and then tried to cover it with his blaming your friend for not getting his dog, when in reality your friend had not even had time to process what was going on and react himself. This is one time when the dash cam audio will be an asset for your friend to prove liability on the city.

In the one video, at second 45, the officer says "Hey Wh??? SHOW ME YOUR HANDS, SHOW ME YOUR HANDS, GET YOUR DOG" and then BANG! at second 49, and then shortly thereafter he can be heard whining "Why didn't you get your dog?" as if he had actually given the owner time to react to the first "SHOW ME YOUR HANDS" much less to anything else.

So if he didn't show his hands and went for his dog, would he have been shot for failing to follow instructions.

My shih tzu likes to greet everyone in his front yard, barking usually at people in uniform, so I guess I would have been shot.
