I think it was a guy and his dog in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I think it was a cop that was twichy.

I think it all sucks.

Just watched it, you are emotionally attached. You are a biased individual.

This is my assumptions based on the information ya'll have provided me:

1. Cop responding to a potential beating of a woman

2. Cop is at the right address he was given.

I don't have a problem with him rushing in ready for potential craziness. If it was my wife, I would want a cop rushing in there on top of any asshat beating my wife including myself.

Obviously it sucks for the dude, it's a terrible thing, but it's just a massive cluster fuck of mistakes and weird timing to make the situation.

He didn't close the fence - could of saved the dog

Cops were provided the wrong address - could of saved the dog

Coming out from behind his house at the completely wrong time - could of saved the dog

A little more hesitation by the cop - could of saved the dog

Cops should try to make it up to him and get him a new dog and see what else they can do to apologize, but the cop was trying to do their job. They really are in a lose lose occupation. If they use too much force, they get shit on; if they use too little force, they get shit on.

Sad thing, but hopefully they can try to make up for it instead of being dicks about it.

Why are cops such fucking pussies?

Mail carriers, UPS dudes, meter readers....all of them face dogs everyday, yet somehow they manage not to shoot any dead, on private fucking property.

Seriously, a fucking Blue Healer? That's the dog this asshole was so afraid of?

Cowardly fucking cunt has the nerve to blame the dog owner for not having a leash on him? On his own property?

Fuck that, and fuck him.

What next, dude gonna shoot an outhouse cause he might get splinters?

Fuck sake.

if the austin radio guy wrote what mike actually said, then it becomes more clear.

i'm sad your friend lost a good friend in that dog.

but i don't believe that either party is entirely faultless.

Actually there is someone who is faultless; the guy who hadn't done anything to bring the police there and had his dog under control, until her had a gun pulled on him and could no longer control said dog, without risking getting shot himself.

You can hear the cop start amplifying what happened in his statements, when the other officer arrives.

Typical police attitude......"If there is any conceivable way I could be in danger, no matter how little the odds, I can use deadly force"

Why not just get back into your car, beat off the dog with your baton, or fire a warning shot first.

Like gun knowledge would make a difference

But OK, let's shoot the dog.........That way, assuming the husband is actually attacking his wife as you claim, he'll hear it and get a heads-up. Slick move.

Are you assuming the dog will hear a warning shot, stop and put it's paws up?

Fair assumption, given that the cop expected Michael to control his dog.

"Hands up!"

"Control your dog!"

"I said get your hands up!"

"Control your dog!!"

If you are going to shoot it anyway if that didn't work, then what harm could it do to try?
