1) Shoot first, "ask questions later" -- that's always a comforting policy for our local law enforcement to have, whom are supposed to protect us, not shoot first, "ask questions later."gigag04 wrote:I've shot and killed one dog and pepper sprayed more than I can count while on the job. Not the highlight of my work, but I've seen enough dog bites to stop the threat of a dog first and ask questions later. If simple leash laws are followed by owners, this becomes a non-issue.
I shouldn't have to take a bite from a strangers dog before defending myself. That's just silly.
Also...Using a TASER on a dog...really? Have you deployed one before? It's a one shot deal and a much smaller target than a human torso. You can borrow mine and have a few tries under stress if you like. I'll go for my pistol...
2) Follow leash laws... expect leash laws weren't applicable in this situation because the dog was on his own property.
3) A stranger who is being held at gun point, on his own property, by a cop that wouldn't even let him restrain his dog.
it sounds like you might be the cop in question in this story? at the very least, it sounds like you're part of the problem of excessive police force when not required. I hope to God you're not a cop anywhere around North DFW
