Coppers did right, obviously dangerous dogs that were used by some bloke to intimidate folk. What happens when dogs the like of them get hold of a kid or older person..

Nonsense. Both on lead, both calm when owner speaks to them. Riled up with load of officers shouting at them. Bet they wouldn't have shot them if they were chihuahuas.

Is there a link to the other side of the story?

 

[Drum123]

It's always very upsetting to see a dog been shot, it will always bring about a very emotional response but you need to ask the question, why did this man have these dogs?
I'd like to hear the full story first.

Ok so you have seen the film, and can make tactical judgements for other people then. Perhaps explain your view of the threat assessment, the MPS policy on dangerous dogs, your contingencies and other options all in the short amount of time available. (When you do this consider the number of fatal dog attacks recently as well)

From what I've seen of this, the owner was refusing to cooperate so was also tased and arrested just after the dogs had savaged someone, already proving they are potentially dangerous?

Surely other completely unrelated dog incidents should have no relevance to their decision making? How would you feel if a restaurant charged you £50 extra on your bill because someone didn't pay the night before? Wouldn't be fair.

I'm not saying they should have let them go on the spot, but shooting seems massive overreaction, especially when they have one collared on pole at one point.

just after the dogs had savaged someone,

Source??

The dogs got into a tussle with a woman's dog. Not nice at all, but it happens, we've all been on one end of that. My usuallly friendly lurcher had bit of a disagreement with a spaniel the other night, it happens.

The woman got a "wound"/scratch/bump (who knows) on her leg, but didn't need Dr or hospital. Hardly "savaged"

Just watched both the videos from the link in the petition....both justified being shot. More are shot for less bothering of livestock.

 

[BenBhoy]

.both justified being shot.

Are they dangerously out of control??

Is there any evidence of what they're supposed to have done?
Like I said, in my opinion, it's a massive overreaction. That's what's troubling about it.

That first one lunged at an officer and from that angle of the camera looks like its about to connect until its got a head full of lead. The second is running free back to the other officers apprehending the man, leaving them vulnerable to attack, shot dispatched that one removing the threat.

I suggest it doesn't matter what your opinion is, the bloke on the ground is the only one who can make the decision to shoot them, and if you haven't been in that position before you have no right to judge his actions, protecting himself or other officers or the public!

No, I won't sign it.

Let’s see if he is found guilty, I wouldn’t sign anyway, however if he’s guilty then it was without a doubt a fair cop.

But it’s only you that it’s troubling.

I’d want to know more before making any decision.

 

[BenBhoy]

But it’s only you that it’s troubling.

And the other 192 thousand who have signed it.

 

[BenBhoy]

if you haven't been in that position before you have no right to judge his actions, protecting himself or other officers or the public!

So should we never question anything the police do in the line of duty? Should they not be held accountable by the public, because we "haven't been in that position"??

 

[Fair Hill]

There's a vigil tonight at 8pm outside New Scotland Yard, candles will be provided.

I'm trying to arrange flights and hotel.

Should be a good one.

 

[TH4]

That is what happens when you arm the police. If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems become nails.
Makes a change from shooting unarmed members of the public I suppose
