I second the notion:

Shame on these police

Heaven help anyone whose car backfired, or kid whos balloon popped in their vicinity - they'd be in the morgue, and half of ozpolitic will be defending the trigger-happy pussies who killed them.

How would you react if you had this animal running towards you in a menacing way?

That one right there? Looks friendly to me - although if you mean another, similar dog, I'd back off the 10 lousy metres to the fence.

Someone so skittish that thei first reaction is to pull their gun and start shooting, has no business in the force, or carrying a weapon more powerful than a nerf dart gun.

That particular dog does look friendly as long as you don't look at his eyes.

Do the police carry dart guns? Maybe a laser might have deterred the dog?

The dog sounds like a normal dog being territorial and protecting its patch. The owner should have ensured the dog was under control either by training or restricting its access to anybody who enters the property.

Yes it was just a normal dog that barked at an intruder -
& was killed by a trigger happy policeman.

Shame on the police.

he didn't just bark he was running at the cop ... would you wait to see if he bit you or licked you if you were in the cops shoes? The dog would weigh 60 - 70 kgs .... that's a big dog to be charging at you. I bet you would have either shot him as well, or turned and run away.

CONTROL either by training or restriction......the owner's responsibility. I would have protected myself as did the police officer.

Some people shouldn't have a dog.

Yes they carry a gun that shoots a lead dart, it's usually called a bullet. He used it. Not every police officer carries a Taser, and depending on the dog, shocking it with a Taser can increase the dog's drive from defence to fight which makes matters worse. Mastiffs are usually pretty easy going dogs, depending on how the owner has developed and conditioned it.

The owner should not be allowed to have a hamster let alone a big dog. The Officer could have indeed misread the dog's actions as aggressive when it may have been in fact bounding towards him in an effort to greet him, but who the hell is going to stand there and wait for a 100 plus kilo dog to arrive at your face intent on licking or eating you?

Read the link - it was a pet that only licked people.

Right. Get real, a Bull Mastiff defending its territory is a lethal killing machine regardless how it behaves to its owners. I have had direct experience with these types of dogs. they are very dangerous if they dont consider you part of their pack.

And so have I.

Rotties, Pit-Bulls, Staffies, and a Dobermann.

And it ALL comes down to training and socialisation.

Responsible ownership, basically.

A dog that's properly trained and socialised WILL NOT ATTACK.

This is probably the most accurate post on this thread. However, WILL NOT is not an accurate phrase to use with any animal, it depends on circumstances as well as genetics.

He was under control - he was contained within the property. Not sure how, let alone why, you'd train a dog to allow intruders in without a peep.

Terming a police officer as an intruder is a crock, and you know it, so talk sense. And if the local candidate for whoever is canvassing that street, is that dog under control when said candidate wants to discuss the election with the householder, enters through the front gate which obviously wasn't locked, and this big dog rushes at him or her?

You talk rubbish!
