than it's probably an issue of how often it's not used, in favor of other weapons.

I'm assuming the animal was facing the two cops. We're all assuming details actually, because we weren't there. We also have all the time in the world to armchair quarterback this. Was there another option that would have worked better? Maybe. What if that option failed? How long did he have to come up with an option? Seconds? Lots of questions that we have time to ask.

This is from the US, but it does show how quickly things can change, and how long you have to respond.

Police put reporters through use of force training to show public what officers face | fox13now.com

The real truth of the matter lies somewhere between the extremes of the cops and the owner's stories.

I totally agree with you, that they have to live with the consequences of it.

Also, calling the vets and saying the RCMP wasn't picking up the tab? By that point, not his call to make. That one's going to supervisors and the bosses.

The real truth of the matter is that the cops didn't have enough reason to go onto the property, and this should never have happened. I don't blame the cop for shooting a dog coming after him. That doesn't change the fact that the cops are to blame, and 100% should cover any costs.

New motto for the popo.

Just kidding. There's incompetence in every walk of life. Their job, however, can destroy lives. Training is the key, but, they are only as good as the people who apply.
