i feel that the dog should not be harmed in any case there is alway some way to get the dog no matter what just because that sertain type of dog has reputation for being a bad dog it is how they are raised and i dont feel the cop should have even tried to shoot the dog .

dadrianbrown, you should stop being an asshole and show some respect for the "PIG". He's just doing his job. I'd have shot the dog if it meant I wouldn't get mauled. If you need someone to blame, then blame the person who let the dog loose. They knew full well that something was going down, and they were obviously willing to risk the dogs life.
