What is pathetic is a bunch of people judging events that they were not involved in, based solely on a 6 minute video. Some of you are saying it would be good if the police officers involved should be injured or killed because they shot a dog?!?! That's ridiculous.
1. According to the article, the video is actually over 60 minutes long.
2. There is no sound, so you don't know what the officers are saying to dispatch on their radios or on their cell phones. So it is very likely that they were ordered to shoot the dog, and didn't just decide to do it for the hell of it. If they shot the dog without prior instruction, there would have be an investigation into it.
3. You don't know what the history of the dog was, only that it had been growling at neighbor kids - according to the article. There were probably other circumstances leading up to this besides just growling. The dog may have bitten someone or several people for all we know. That article didn't smack of hardcore investigative journalism.
4. How many things have you done in your life that could be taken out of context OR made to look worse that it actually was if someone showed a 6 minute clip to the internet.
Stop and think first, before making stupid (and threatening) comments about the job those officers performed and / or the circumstances surrounding those events. You weren't there and you have extremely limited facts.
