Wtf is with cops shootings dogs? When’s the last time a mailman shot a dog?
Agreed. I've pepper sprayed a few that charged at me, or did the proverbial "circle and look for a good angle", but shoot? No.
When I was younger (if you've noticed, all of my "high speed" memories are at least 10 years old now...lol), I wore the sleeve or the suit and played bad guy for a couple of our K-9's. A good takedown dog can hurt you in a hurry. I've also been there when one of our K-9's took down a suspect, and none of those were pretty. Still, those are trained apprehension dogs. Your average aggressive dog will generally go knee level or below. Most dogs do not like having their feet off the ground, but a trained Sheperd or Mal moving at 20+ mph that launches at you is where the term "fur missile" originated. They're tough, and fearless.
We did a no-knock warrant one time where we knew the suspect had Dobies. Mean ones. We tossed 5 pounds of raw hamburger wadded up in fist-sized balls over the fence; made entry; and were through the door without any trouble. But now that I think of it, we had to spray our way out. ACO was useless. Wouldn't come inside the fence.
Next time, 10 pounds of raw hamburger...
