Where are all the folks who cry about their dogs being killed because "he wasn't just a pet, he was like one of our own children?"
Second, leaving the dog completely out of the picture, if a cop is chasing a perp and comes around the corner of a building to find the perp right there holding a knife, the cop damn well ought to shoot.
Lastly, and only as an observation, either the photo above is not one of Officer Stark and Rye, or the description of Rye as a 3-year-old German Shepherd is typical media screwuppery.
