I'm not going to lie, I started crying when the dog got shot by the Police Officer. I don't blame the cop, that's instinct taking over in a split second, but I do feel maybe the whole situation could've been handled differently, especially since you got the dog's owner dying of a seizure on the ground.

Not going to lie, if I was in the cops shoes I would have done the same thing, especially since it went after someone already.

It's amazing the two cops didn't shoot each other. It looks like they're standing almost on exact opposite sides of the dog.
Life in the big city. A human being is lying on the ground dying, and all you can hear is people screaming at the top of their lungs about a crazed pit bull. Would any of them be screaming if the dog was busy chewing his way through one of their necks?
Glad I live in the boonies. The farmers kill animals out here like it's not quite that important.

Haven't watched the clip but apropos of nothing, when a police dog trainer goes down, the dog is trained to protect its trainer from anyone or anything getting near it. Which means that officers are trained to kill a dog whose owner is incapacitated, because that tends to be the best way to get the owner treatment. #justsaying.
