Sorry, but that officer was 100% at fault for killing an innocent dog.
If the officer had gone to the RIGHT address, would he have been so quick to draw?

I understand that he has to defend himself, but he never gave the owner a chance to get his dog. He drew his gun FIRST (which is proper when entering a dangerous situation) but telling the dog owner to freeze and "put yoyr hands up" and then killing his dog because HE prevented the owner from restraining his dog is idoitic.

I say the owner needs to get an attorney..FAST, before the police try to "find" some evidence to justify killing an innocent pet.

This is not an indictment of all police officials, but just this one.
Maybe the dispatcher needs to be held accountable if he/she is giving vague addresses for 911 calls.

Bottom line is that everyone loses in this one!
