Why not just have the owner put his dog up? The dog got out...showed that it was uncomfortable or nervous or whatever and backed down though and the cop stepped towards it...that is just an idiot move on his part, especially a Rottweiler. There will be a lawsuit though whether people think the cop is in the wrong or the guy, they both made mistakes in my eyes, the point I'm trying to make is the cop should not reach towards a dog that is nervous that he doesn't know. ( also while he had been previously shoving around his owner for no reason )
Edit- Maybe smack it on the nose with his night stick? I just think shooting it so many times was a little too much ( shooting it period in my eyes) Even Pepper spray if available idk... :/
