WHo knows why the dog got out the car? Who knows if the dog was the biggest softy you'll ever come across? Things that are known - 4 police cars, at least three armed police responding to a stand off situation, Cali police carries night sticks too don't they? Given this you still think shoot to kill was the only action. OK then but I find it amazing that you dismiss my point about the policing in Jamaica as irrelevant cuz it looks like you'd like similar policing in your neighbourhood. If that's what you want then who am I to argue

that's totally unfair, the 4 police cars were for a completely unrrelated incident to this, the police were there to deal with a completely separate criminal activity.

The only reason the police even came over to that man is because he was harassing and abusing them.

The police were not there to deal with a dog, obviously the dog caught them by surprise and the officer feared for his/her life and shot the dog. You saw how fast it happened. all of this monday morning quarterbacking is pathetic, you have no idea how you would react if you were that officer and all of a sudden had an angry rottweiler coming at you. The Rottweiler was clearly upset about it's owner being arrested.
