Again we don't know the facts, but I have to disagree with a few of your points Browna.

1) Firing in the air is NOT an option. Who knows where that bullet is gonna end up, in a residential area you could end up doing a lot of harm by doing that.

2) Why does the cop have to have a struggle with the Dog before shooting it is jusified. As has been brought up, if a guy lunges at a cop with a knife is he expected to struggle with the guy first, or can he just shoot him? I for one would never want to struggle with a German Shepard if it was actually trying to do me any harm.

Again none of us know what the actual circumstances are. If the cop just decided to shoot a friendly dog he should be punished. If the cop actually precieved a threat to his safety then I'll defend him. Untill we get the actual facts both scenarios are equally likely so why don't we all just reserve our judgement for now.
