Re: Texas LEO shoots family dog at wrong address

What is interesting about this is perhaps who was with this particular officer.

Found him easily on a search - the guy is a former Marine, and assigned to SWAT & US Marshal duty. No slouch, and likely quite familiar with duties as a professional shooter. So the questions that are begged in my mind are:

1) Who was responsible for locating the address where the warrant was supposed to be served?
2) Who was responsible for driving there?
3) Was either 1 or 2 this particular officer's role?

It seems that if this officer was purely defending himself from a dog of unknown aggression running right at him while serving some random warrant vs he was responsible for knowing where the warrant was to be served are two entirely different issues.

Doesn't seem that the officer would be guilty of anything illegal if he wasn't running the show. Until all the facts come out it's tough to tell. I feel bad for the dog, and the officer. The family was probably pretty rattled too.
