He shot at the dog of the woman who was asking for help, it wasn't some random dog. It WAS a biggie, what if he killed a family pet? You shouldn't have to worry if you need a cop that they're going to shoot your dog when they get there.
The PD would likely fine the family for having the 40lbs dangerous animal roaming freely inside it's own house putting the life of a brave police officer in danger.

This is getting out of hands.

So if the cop thought the dog was attacking him and he shot at it but missed the dog, how come the dog stopped attacking? Hmmmm

But why? According to all the anti-2A folk these "professionals" are the only ones that should have guns

Um....I was quoting the police interview from the link. It wasn't my personal feelings. Of course I feel for the child, and think the cop was an idiot. I thought it was odd they made it no big deal, like it happens everyday.

Notice I said THEY think it's no big deal for a kid to get shot in the leg.

But, weren't you the one who stated this never happens to white people? Only unarmed black people get shot like dogs? Seems odd you'd be barking up my tree about feelings.

No, but my causal observation seems to indicate that only black people care to do anything about it.

If all lives matter, then its about time for all those other lives to get involved in reforming how police use force against citizens.
