Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The guy unleashed the dog, are they supposed to let themselves get bitten?? The dog owner was an asshole who put his dog in a position to be shot. If you can’t see that, I don’t know what to tell ya. We can’t keep blaming cops when people are being assholes. I’m not a fan of cops, I’ve had my run in’s with a few assholes. I’ve also met some very cool ones.

Whatever the situation is/was it's still hard to watch it for me.
The empathy for animals.. I guess I couldn't work for a cop, no mater if the dog was guilty or not.

Looks like a shitty situation to me. I don't know all the details here but just from the video evidence that I can see those pups didn't "deserve" anything but they had to go down because these officers were ostensibly serving a lawful arrest warrant or detaining a suspicious person.
I've had a LEO come onto my gated and locked property without my permission with my pit at my side (Lucky). I don't like LEOs period full stop. He was conducting an "investigation" into one of my neighbors I'm not even sure whoand it wouldn't have mattered as I love my neighbors and hate Po Pos
. My dog picked up on that and was growling at the LEO. I always walk my property with my .45 on my hip because I'm a psycho My dog started growling so he pulled his taser and pointed it at her. I told him "You tase my dog and you leave this property in a body bag my dude" with my hand near my sidearm. We exchange words basically to the effect that he is trespassing and he had zero right to jump my gate/fence (not sure how he got on) so he leaves only for me to be served papers to court 9 days later. It was a long uphill battle (18 mos) but I got those fuckers to pay my lawyer fees and court costs with a written apology from LEO and a guarantee he would get remedial training and never step foot on my property again. Gotta love red states! I know off topic but I wanted to share.

I don’t know the whole situation but from what I saw, the dude kept threatening the cops with the dogs. He pushed it, they didn’t want to get bit. In the pressure of the moment they had to decide if they were going to get bit or kill the dogs. I hate cops…but.. I would have shot the dogs too. From what I saw…the cops did nothing wrong. The second dog was wounded…he could have been going for the other cop, there was no restraint on the dog…yep. Would have shot him too. It was good to have that dog put out of his misery.
The only person that needs to be punished is the piece of shit who put his dogs in that situation. In fact, this video infuriates me. If given the chance..I would kick that man’s ass. He is the true piece of shit. He should know those poor dogs aren’t going to have a chance against shotguns.

I’ll take heat for this, I’m sure. I would’ve shot the dogs and the owner. Not going to get into my background, but this, in the U.S., was attempted murder maybe? At the minimum assault with a deadly weapon. We’re there bad decisions by both parties? Yes. Any argument can be walked away from immediately. But when the dogs went loose? Drexyl’s .357 is coming out.

Crazy to watch. But honestly when he let go of the dogs harness it headed after the officers. It may be a wrong choice in hindsight but if i had a gun in hand i am not waiting to see if the dog is going to bite me first or not. We have a video in the states where a cop was on the hood of a crooks cars and driver started driving with cop pointing his gun at him. He chose not to shoot the driver. Driver speeds full speed over rough terrain and cop is thrown and broke his back. If the cop did shoot him everyone would have been saying he shot to fast and didn't know if the driver would drive of and he is a bad cop. Perfect example. Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Yes mate - I followed all this at the time in the papers! Basically to give you a background on all this, over the past few years we have had a huge rise in people being mauled to death by dangerous dogs in their homes where the dog has literally turned on their owner and killed them, also lots of strangers attacked too. A lot of these have involved American Bully XL dogs and also pit bulls. If a dog mauls its owner or anyone else then the police will turn up and shoot it if they can't remove it to be destroyed - there is a now zero policy on this kind of thing. Those 2 dogs had just assaulted a woman before this I think it was in a public park, so the police were called to the scene. They have followed this guy around but as you can see the dogs are still reacting even though I guess they will do to protect their owner. In the end because the owner isn't complying with them and calming them down or whatever they are asking, one of the cops shoots them both. I know it looks cruel but a lot of the owners of these breeds over here are scumbags and are more bothered about their image than treating the dog right, so they then end up growing up hostile.
