Yes, it sucks ass that the dog got shot, prolly shouldn't have happened. I can't believe what a bunch of mindless drones you guys are letting yourselves be, though! Probably had similar reactions to Hantavirus. . . OMG WTF SOMEBODY'S GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!

Not every situation needs somebody to blame, that's just something the media uses to sell their stories, keep people glued to the TV (Don't argue me on this, you won't win it). The people were suspect of potential wrongdoing, or at least questioning. There was reason to pull them over. I'd imagine the police may have been suprised by the dog. Be glad it wasn't a person who got shot.

But now, because of all the opinions and media attention to what is really a trivial event, what should have ended with some heartfelt condolences (which I imagine have already been given from the police to the people), will probably be a great lawsuit. The only winners will be the lawyers, and the news. Money that could have gone to protecting the streets will be lost in litigation. You can't pay for a family pet like you cae a dent in your fender.

Titan: your argument about them "looking" the part for a crime is bull****. Do you support racial profiling? People don't have to look evil to commit a crime. Don't argue a dog that would have "just injured, couldn't have killed" either. Sorry to single you out man, nothing personal, just the last responses on the list make it easier to quote :P
