If you lift a paw -- not even that, your gaze -- against an only one, you die.
No Taser? No pepper spray? No baton? No SHOES to kick the dog away? Nah, just the instant death penalty.
They're so brave when there's 20. Singly, f'in' cowards.
That's GOOD.

Fired off this email to the "authorized journalist".

Saw your article today and I'm really disappointed in your reporting. You give out the victim's full name and address but accept don't go find out who the officer was?? So what if the police say they can't release the name, you're a journalist, your job is to go get the facts and report to the public.

All the time I see articles like this where no matter how outrageous an officer's actions the press does everything it can to explain and justify their actions. Look at your headline, if this story was about someone shooting a burglar in their home it would read "homeowner shoots man in his home, claims self defense". See the difference there?? The way you write it it's as if you had been there yourself and saw the vicious dog attacking the poor helpless police officer.
Why don't you go do some research on who the shooter was and their background. Bet you $20 he's fresh back from Iraq or Afghanistan.

Oh, good job on finding a picture of the dog so people could see what this vicious dog looked like, I'm sure that would add no value to this story.

Go, Jeff, go! Life is not a journalism school project.

Sometimes it goes the other way.
Why would a deputy be taking photos of a FOOTPRINT in a trailer park where gunshots have been reported?
