There is no mention of the officers being physically attacked, from neither the family or the police statement--the story is that the dog was running up to them quickly in a threatening manner. AKA, agression.
showing aggression ≠ attacking
There are other responses that are far more appropriate when dealing with a (possibly) aggressive dog. For example, the owner was there--they could have commanded the owner to call off their dog--thye could have used pepper spray--simply kick the dog--but shooting the dog in the back of the head was out of proportion to the situation.

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that you have no idea what happened and just assumed that the cops were dicks. Maybe they were dicks. I don't know. One thing I do know is that none of you know. I object to your default position that they are dicks unless proven otherwise. Especially given the chosen news source and general sensationalizing of stories like this. You swallow this crap whole without any seeming skepticism that maybe somebody is trying to sell a story or that there might be another side that you haven't heard. You are selective skeptics who will buy anything that suits your narrative even if the source is questionable. I did a Google search and found another article that paints quite a different picture than Alternet. Maybe you guys should reconsider Alternet. They have a greater interest in narrative than accuracy. Unless that's what you're after, of course.

This may well be entirely true. Neither you nor I know, though, do we, but Alternet deliberately distorted the story and left information out.

we wouldnt have a need for the laws if people managed to keep their pets under their control, I've shot at least a dozen myself because in my state these nuisance, animals cost people their livelihood. dogs have been known to run horses and cattle to death, they've been known to kill chickens and eat the eggs and they've also been known to bite. I'm sure it goes on everywhere and the irresponsible owners that dont care enough about their animals to keep them under control clearly dont deserve the animals or they'd do their part to protect them from being shot by keeping them in a fenced yard or on a leash instead of allowing them to roam because the owner is too fucking lazy to walk their dog

well, i can't argue against that. hence, my original assertion. American's shouldn't be allowed dogs as pets.
PS: also, there shouldn't be such confusion in the differences in the laws between states, in your country. i mean, so many idiots, can only do so much thinking. best not to confuse them.
