Not sure why they arrested him or handcuffed I mean but the guy was literally asking for trouble since he went right up to them and was recording it/taking pics. Should of known better especially from the way the police acts.

Edit: Saw the last part again, that last cop who was near the dog was an idiot, why did he engage it lol. He was looking for a reason to shoot it. If anything he should be the one that should get the blame.

Although what the last cop did was dumb, the dog lunged at him so his reaction afterwards was based on instinct - wouldnt you react the same way (i.e. attack back) if you thought you were gonna get attacked?

I'm sorry for animal lovers who may feel offended but if I was in that situation, I would rather shoot the dog than get myself or my team mates hurt.

I wouldn't use deadly force. Its a dog, acting on instict, and it had a leash on they could of grabbed. it didn't lunge for his throat, it wasn't acting overly aggressive, just trying to help his owner. the cops should have been ready for the dog knowing the owner just had one and the car windows were open. if they cant pay attention to that kind of stuff they shouldn't be on the force.
