At most manslaughter, but most likely two weeks paid vacation then early retirement for PTSD from shooting.

But there can always be more to this than reported story doesn't have alot of info.

Waiting for further details that the girl had drugs in her system and was oding so GD can claim it was her fault for putting herself in the situation.

What would happen to any non-LEO who sprayed and prayed at a dog rushing toward them and killed a woman in the process?

Pretty sure we all know.

I’m a huge LEO supporter, but badges shouldn’t grant extra rights — yet they sure do.

Sad story.

And one of the few we read of shots fired hitting an unintended target. Watching police videos it is amazing to me how rarely this happens. Training is certainly warranted to avoid it, but still, many shootings involve thru and thru shots and others where one might think something bad might happen on the other side but doesn't.

For that matter, I always wonder about structural damage and especially electrical shorts and whatnot caused by bullets entering walls behind the target.

Meh, we're going to get the officer's body cam video later today. I'm betting it's a good shoot.

If the footage shows the woman is a 6’5” transgender MMA fighter screaming “Kill him, Cujo!!!”

You might be right.

If Joe Plumber did that he would be in prison, as with the Arlington shooting.

"It’s unclear if the officer will face any charges."

Get used to it. He was called so everyting is A-Ok. No justification required. The dog pointed at him.

We bred these. The males could be 185 lbs. I watched one rip the head off a pit bull once.

We had 13 of them. All of them fiercely protective and smart as hell. They have a double coat, and will turn away all but the best knife attack.

And if you killed the first one, the other 12 would be MIGHTY PISSED. Frankly I’m not sure a guy with an assault rifle would win if you started out at 50 yards.

Know your target and what's behind it.

That's messed up.

So the cop actuly thought a dog would kill him.

I've never met a dog that I thought could kill me before i killed it with my hands or a Knife.
Mess me up, yeah sure.

Not a cop basher by any means but that's messed up.

They must be hiring g a bunch of pussies up there.

Badass dog and all, but I'm sure the cop wasn't getting attacked by THAT dog.

Uuuhhh, I don't know. Dog went up against LEO and survived.

The dog was possibly grazed and taken to the Arlington animal shelter to be checked out, police said.

Dang yesterday I was anti cop now I'm a bootlicker.

More info like was she directly in the line of fire or was he shooting away from her and it was a great one in a million ricochet. Was the dog really being aggressive or just barking.

50 yards with my assault rifle and 13 dogs like this? I would down all these dogs permanently, finish my cup of coffee and still have to walk 48 yards to clean up the mess.

Oh and everything behind them would have holes in it too.

LOL.

I have been in a fight with a bear {revolver} and killed many stock chasing dogs over the years on the ranch here. And shot a berserk range cow that charged me.

I took your post as a joke, and in that it's funny. If meant to be serious, well....

Nope. It's what I believe.

We got convicted felons shooting warning shots killing blonde hair girls and no charges being filed.

Probably fired out on opioids and it was her dog (loose, off leash).

No, I get it, a dog can mess you up real bad. Kill a physically abled adult? No.

My point was know what's behind what you intend to shoot/kill.

Was a woman's life worth a couple bites from a dog? No.

Like I said, I'm not a cop basher. They do a tremendous job.

However, I've probably been approached by more dogs than I can remember being a lineman for 34 years.

Most dogs will run off if you bark louder than they do.

After many dog encounters over 34 years of going in backyards and being surprised, only once have I been bitten.
Little scrawny mut dog , not even knee high. Blindsided me from a corner, didn't know he was coming.

Why should anybody, with a right to be there, have to put up with ANY injury from an out of control animal at all?

Fucking dog has no right to attack anybody for any fucking reason in public period.

Who fucking cares if it's "kill or not". .22 won't kill you most of the time, but I don't see you prancing around behind the targets at an active rimfire range.
