Saw this yesterday but i didnt want to be the 3rd post here...
Anyway. Disclaimer: No, the cop didnt need to shoot the dog, it could have been handled better.
That being said. WHY ARE PEOPLE FREAKING OUT OVER THIS? Ive never seen such hullabaloo for a PERSON being shot by a cop. Animals dont have the same rights as humans. Animals are killed everyday. A pig and a chicken died to make me my pork&chicken&bacon sandwich at Rib Crib tonight. Whats the difference when a dog is killed? Yes, this situation couldve been handled better, but my God, leave it to America to overblow a stupid news story. Call me a terrorist idc.
