I agree, I'm not gonna give anyone shit for spraying a dog either. I wouldn't necessarily give someone shit for being intimidated by a charging dog, and if an average citizen shoots it then I might let it slide. Cops need to be held to a higher standard, especially if they're gonna jerk off about their "bravery" and "service" all the time. Either one needs to be held liable for hitting (and fucking killing) a person, cops get a double (triple?) penalty vs. the civilian.
