[QUOTE=scout1;41337508]Do you also think you'll be the sole savior with the clear head in the event of a bombing/fire/etc? You don't know how you'll react either until your life is threatened. Try that and come back.[/QUOTE] No one said anything about being the "sole savior", I'm saying in the cop's position, with my mentality I would rather have been bitten than kill it, it's just the kind of person I am, other people would probably shoot it, but I wouldn't have, not straight away anyway.

That was his point with the "sole survivor" example. [editline]6th July 2013[/editline] It would take serious discipline not to react to such a threat as it is basic human instinct to protect oneself.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;41271526]Damn.. Although car windows being shut/higher up would have prevented this from happening. At first when the dude put the dog in the car, I was like "How can the dog even end up dying?" but as soon as the dog jumped out of the window, while the owner was already in cuffs, oh boy.. Do they not train the cops how to subdue a dog like you would subdue a human assailant?[/QUOTE] They do, but it uses specialised equipment, which they didn't have at hand at that time (pole with a string, whatever it is called, though there may be other options for that that i'm unaware of). Though watching the video, it seems the guy that tried to handle the dog wasn't really trained in doing it with basically just his bare hands. Once the dog lunged, honestly, there wasn't any other way it could have ended. Police officers are still people and they still have the right to defend themselves. In this case, the guy had a gun, and used it. A lot of people would act the same in those circumstances. The shooter didn't know the owner or the dog, he couldn't have known how agressive the dog was, if he bites, hell, if he had rabies even. I don't think anyone involved could be marked guilty in this but everyone should be remorseful.
[QUOTE=Shark Cat;41337480]I'm not going to argue with you about how I myself would deal with a situation.[/QUOTE] I can guarantee that you would [i]not[/i] be willing to lose an arm(Or most of it) just to keep some dog you don't know alive.
[QUOTE=mon_ons;41338602]I can guarantee that you would [i]not[/i] be willing to lose an arm(Or most of it) just to keep some dog you don't know alive.[/QUOTE] there wouldn't have been enough time to be mauled to the point of amputation being needed with all those officers around
[QUOTE=Shark Cat;41339169]there wouldn't have been enough time to be mauled to the point of amputation being needed with all those officers around[/QUOTE] Now you're not only claiming to know exactly how you'd react in a life or death situation but also controlling every single variable involved.
[QUOTE=Shark Cat;41339169]there wouldn't have been enough time to be mauled to the point of amputation being needed with all those officers around[/QUOTE] The dog would still, most likely, be shot. Meaning you just fucked up your arm AND the dog that you don't know still died.
Those dogs are fucking lethal, they are bread to hunt and kill... the owner should have not put it in the car.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;41278546]do we need to post that video that gets posted in every thread where the police shoot a dog the one where 5 british police officers are hospitalized because they didn't shoot the dog aka the video that shows that dogs aren't all some happy fluffy animal that the police should just let lick them, and can actually seriously wound people? [media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_Jnaw1s_5c[/URL][/media] this is why the police shoot dogs[/QUOTE] Stopped reading the thread here. Gotta ask. Do you have fucking down syndrome? I can show you a 100 videos where a black person kills/injurers a white cop with various weapons or no weapons. So should police protocol be to shoot every mildly aggressive black person because that one time that one thing happened to some guys? Do you mean to tell me that 3 grown officers armed with various non-lethal weapons could not have collectively subdued a middle sized domesticated animal without sustaining injuries? The video you posted is totally irrelevant as it shows one [i]unarmed[/i] individual getting attacked by a dog. I highly doubt 5 police officers where all injured by the dog at the same time. Point being, it's a totally different and essentially irrelevant scenario. The dog wasn't aggressive towards any particular officer (wow a fient lunge at an approaching officer, most aggressive dog ever) and the two present officers knew that already. The officer barging into the situation didn't think, he simply acted. This is a dangerous and untrained way to behave and is not someone we want in our police force. Not only that but the guy fired 4 shots with a clear intent to kill the animal [i]not to subdue it[/i], have any red flags risen yet? Dogs aren't just some piece of property that you can go and buy a new one. That guy could've raised that dog since it was a puppy and loved it like a person. That officer did more than just destroy his property, he killed his friend. Basically, fuck off.
Trigger happy officers, American law all over.
