who's to say if your wife stepped out, she wouldn't be defending herself from the dog...
Cmon Toad, you know this is different. If any member of my family is being attacked by a dog, even my own dog its dead. This is not that, this is a suspected criminal that had a deadly weapon and some of you are trying to make excuses for him. He had a knife in the dark, just fresh off a robbery and was killing a police dog. Officer approached and finished him. How is that a problem?
If the cop shot him for stabbing the dog alone...it is a problem, however, there is no reason to believe that the guy wasn't a threat to the officer also.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
