1) You have no proof the cops are lying.
2) You arent as clever as you pretend to be.

Did they have to shoot? No. They have batons. They also usually have stun guns. They could have controlled the dog.

I feel bad for the kids parents. Their kid got killed because of a dog bite.

I've got more outage for the Seattle incident. Just thought it was relevant news-wise, and horrible to see another incident. I don't think they will be charged either

Add to that, it was a Pit Bull, and it was charging at them for a second time.

Yanez shot and killed a man. I don't know about you, but I'd be a bit unnerved in the moments after, justified or not. I may say things/do things that are out of character. This doesn't excuse Yanez's actions, but it does excuse his emotions. There's a reason cops are put on leave (besides the obvious investigation reason). Some cops, after shooting a person, can't handle it anymore.

Go kill someone. See how your emotions hold up. No, I'm not serious in that request. But think about it. Really think about it. You just took a human life, rightly or not. It's gonna mess with you.

Re: Cops 4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I have an old friend from high school who became a cop for Bloomington, assigned to the Mall of America for a while. He was involved in an incident where he had to pull out his pistol but never fired his weapon. It unnerved him so much that he immediately transferred to desk duty. A short while after that he left the police force for an entirely different profession. He told me about the thoughts running through his head at the time, a high-level thought process, and realized he was a only a few seconds from having to shoot until backup arrived and the young man surrendered. He was a few years removed from the incident and it still shook him a little to recount it.

So, just to be clear, you are saying Yanez freaked out because he made a mistake, not because he just took a human life? I want to fully know your thought process on your take. Honest.

He. Just. Killed. A. Man. I highly doubt procedure and legal consequences were running through his mind at that moment. Maybe an hour or two afterwards, sure. Most likely.

Well, I've never seen a less remorseless reaction outside of film.
.
And I'm pretty sure they were. Otherwise he would have immediately been trying to save his life instead of holding a four-year-old and her mother at gunpoint.

Again, you do understand he took a man's life? People react in different ways. See St Clown's post.

Re: Cops 4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Right but you are no better than dx assuming you know what is going through his mind. The fact is no one knows what he was thinking but from what I can tell (I wont watch the tape I have no need to watch someone die) based on what I have read he isnt showing much remorse just fear. His comments in the wake of the shooting tend to back that up as well. (his one about Philandro smoking weed being the big one) I dont think the guy was cold blooded, but I dont think he was reacting in the way you are painting it.
Put it this way if he was upset he killed someone he would have been trying to save them. If he was messed up in the brain he would have had a panic attack or snapped or something. He would not have done nothing. JMHO.
