What do you think? Did this cop do the right thing?

Answer 1

There are several phrases leading me to believe the author is writing with the intent to stir controversy. For example, she states the officer did not identify himself. There is no requirement for an officer to identify himself in an imminent situation. A dog attack would require fast action, once the dog got ahold of the child, he would not be able to safely shoot it.

The author also contradicts herself, first stating the witnesses back Reyes' claims, but later states none of the witnesses actually saw what happened just prior to the shooting.

Reyes also contradicts herself, she first states the dogs came back to her when she called, but later states the officer shot after the dog got close to his kids. If the dogs came back as she claimed, how could they be close?

I do not feel comfortable giving an opinion based on this article, due to the way it is written.

Answer 4

Yup he was good.  People need to be responsible pet owners and understand that strangers dont know a dogs intention.  It was stupid of that lady to let her dogs run loose without a leash especially if she was at that park all the time and knew the rules.
