Seriously..., I think the biggest problem with the American Police Force is they are sooooo jumpy and scared of everything. This is an action of panic and fear! And this dude should not be a cop!
He walks into people's private property and their dogs are just doing their job to bark at him and he shoots them?
Seriously.....

Your link says the dogs were barking at the cop and charged him. Someone else said that they were chained up and wagging their tails, which is accurate ?
And why doesn't anyone say why the cop was even there?
The cops were there because the home alarm had gone off. It was a false alarm, and the family had immediately called the alarm company and cancelled it. The cops arrived anyway, and instead of going to the front door and knocking, which was proper protocol, they approached through the fenced back yard, without announcing themselves.
The cops said the dogs charged them, and that is what they wrote in the police report. However, in addition to an alarm system, the family also had video surveillance, and they have released a tape showing the first dog walking towards the officer with his tail wagging, and the officer responded by shooting him in the jaw. The second dog was approaching as well, not charging, and he shot it three times. Afterwards, despite being greeted by the family and knowing that it was a false alarm, the cops prevented them from calling a vet or trying to get the dogs help, saying that Animal Control would be sent to retrieve the dogs. Yet Animal Control was never called.
Their site must be totally screwed up because the video it gave me a video of the family plaing with the dogs when they got back from the vet. But it sounds like the cops totally scwred up, start to finish.
