Must be nice to be a monday morning quarterback. There's no guarantee that Mace or a tazer is going to subdue a charging agitated dog in an area with not only cops, civilians and a handcuffed person, and as much as I love dogs, public safety and officer safety has to come first.
The cops acted rightfully. To me the owner was trying to pick a fight with the cops probably to file another lawsuit that will likely happen anyways.
Not to sound cold hearted, but the bottom line is, he didn't properly contain his already agitated pet, he knew that the dog was probably going to go even nuttier.
There was no excessive force here, the owners at fault, hopefully a judge see's it that way.
