Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

The shooting was justified to protect the officers. The danger was neutralized with one shot. Additional shots would only put bystanders at risk.

How about those subtitles? cracked me up.

We've had several cases of officers being badly hurt by dangerous dogs. When a big dog has a grip on an officer's arm battons aren't much use, and a Taser isn't an option. One case I've seen reported had officers being attacked by a pit bull (which had been intentionally set on them) for 20 minutes before an armed unit arrived. I bet the four officers on the scene first wished they'd been armed so they could have dispatched the dog sooner.

no doubt. but its easy for you or me to damn or defend the actions of the cops we were not there not in the heat of the moment having to make a decision.

its nuts that normal patrol officers cant carry guns over there. i dont understand the reasoning in ti really. do you know the reason that they tell public and then what you think the real reason is for it?

it was more than one shot

no they wouldn't.

And everyone else at the scene. And potentially at the scene of the armed robbery.

The danger was neutralized with one shot.

I counted four shots.

Yeah, but it's easier to defend their actions, exactly because it was an in-the-heat-of-the moment decision.

[Stefan-A]

no they wouldn't.

Walk around in a crowded place shooting at the ground and then try to argue in court that you didn't put anyone at risk.

And you never approach a wounded animal.

Which obviously wouldn't work. And there's the reason.

But forget court and no one would have actually been at risk. At least not any more than when he shot the four off in panic earlier.
