Edit: In an effort to avoid distracting confusion, I will note that the article claims 1.1 seconds between the LEO's order and the shooting, while the above link says 11 seconds.
I'm guessing the link says 11 seconds because a period would probably mess up the URL. On the video you hear the shot just about coincident with the last word of the officer's command.
Probably on the link. I only heard one shot. The article says two, but I only heard one. Were they just that fast?
I only heard one shot but maybe I didn't pay close enough attention.

Re: LEO shooting: wrong guy??

To me it just says: don't call the police until it's over and you can put you gun away. I don't want my dogs getting shot either. OTOH, it doesn't matter much in my case since by the time any police showed up out in the country where I live it would be over, long over. A 20 minute response would be about the best I could ever expect, and it's more likely to be over 30 minutes before anyone could show up.
