Regarding the American cop, the telling thing for me is that he had his hand on his gun before the dog came through the door. He was getting ready to shoot prior to the dog "attacking him." (Assuming the dog was attacking.)
Then once again, assuming the cop was under attack, was pulling out a gun to shoot the first course of action? And was the proper penalty for the dog attack to be shot dead? Even if this dog had a history, and a judge ordered it to be destroyed, the family would have had a chance to say goodbye.
