Police say an off-duty police officer in South Florida fired at charging pit bull, but missed the dog and grazed a woman's neck. [More]And we don't know what will happen to the dog? He didn't have to kill it?
You mean it wasn't all that serious?
And afterward, the dog was:
"wagging his tail, wide-eyed at all the people - cops, fire-rescue, animal control officers - gathered in the parking area out front. He was happily oblivious...And a corroborating witness said:
The dog didn't show no aggression but he decided to pull out the gun and shoot the dog...I can understand being cautious around off-leash dogs. Doubly so when a child is involved.
Still, I can't help but wonder if a non-"Only One" missed his target and struck a neighbor if the burning questions would be whether or not we violated policy and how soon we'd be returning to work.
As an aside, notice how the "Authorized Journalist" in the second linked article called it a "pit bull-type dog"? Is that anything like an "assault-style weapon"?

yeah, he does, but people like cops who shoot their neighbors and ticket others as distraction supply it. David just reports it.
ReplyDeleteOr did you miss that part?
Come on David, remember, you can add the word Assault to anything and make it feel menacing.
