Before everyone faults the police, I wonder if its ever wise to train your dog to attack anyone that comes near it.  

Of course, if you dont' what good is the animal as a guard dog?

And, really, before you go barreling into a private yard of a third-party who is completely uninvolved in the criminality (water balloons, remember) that you're trying to deal with, dont' you at least look to see if there's a dog?

Geez.

If it is not a pit bull, there is no way it lunged at the cop.

Private Property----Check
Dog on a leash-----Check

It's too bad, the officer may have been a little trigger happy but it's hard to tell what you would do in his shoes.  I don't think I'd be running after kids for throwing fucking water balloons in the first place.

What if it had been a person he encountered sitting on their back porch cleaning a weapon?  Probably be looking at a dead homeowner.

If it's on a chain, it can be circumvented.

Why are officers not taught the basics of defending against dog attack without shooting the dog.  Now a pit, who give a shit, they can do major damage and once locked down not much you can do.  But it seems there are no boundaries on the dogs being shot from fuking terriers to labs.  

Are they give any training on how to deal with a dog, besides a bullet?

Because apparently the police (who are supposed to be held to a higher standard than most) are held to a lower standard than your average pizza delivery guy, meter reader, or mailman.

Good thing the family cat was inside and the pet rabbit was in a cage, this could have gotten ugly with Johnny Supercop on the case.
