Couldn't have said it better myself. I see we do have the usual cop excuses though. Now I'd like to open the floor to wild emotional outbursts about how being a cop is so tough and they "get bit all the time by dogs!". Please proceed.
Would you like to see the 2 scars on my right arm and 4 scars on the back of my left leg?
This was my exact frame of mind when I "trespassed" for a living.
I'm not about to hurt someone's dog when he was doing what he's supposed to. I had daily encounters with pissed off dogs, and they were even worse if the owner was present. I learned to always have something between you and the animal. Anything, a boot, my device I carried that looked like a big calculator, even my hat. Sometimes I would have to "feed" it to them, that is let them bite it while I stood my ground, and eventually they would get the message that I was the boss and I wasn't going anywhere. I never had to strike or even touch the dog to get compliance. I also never turned my back or took my attention away until I was out of their territory, and I was never bitten.
Many occupations have bite prevention training. To think a cop is not trained in this is and is told to do whatever is necessary, including discharging their firearm, to protect themselves while on someone's property is beyond absurd.
I thought I linked to it but didn't. Yesterday, the driver of that pedicab posted on the Justice for Cisco page about it but looks like they deleted it since then. Guess they don't want it getting out that the guy criticizing the police for making a poor decision is a hypocrite.
