I guess we are switching topics again? What does earning the ability to have power over others have anything to do with what happened? Let's call what you posted - respect. During a contact with police, what are the factors you consider on rather the LEO has "earned" the ability to control you? I am curious now.

Pepper spray works on them fairly well in my limited experience. Also, giving a dog commands that a dog might usually be taught might also have worked and certainly would have been better than what the officer was heard saying in the audio portion of his body cam footage. Telling a dog "Get back" will likely virtually always have the effect it did in this situation which was absolutely nothing. Harshly telling a dog "NO" and "STAY" may have worked a lot better and telling the woman to call it off may have worked as well, if indeed it was her dog. Shooting at a charging dog, evidently with absolutely no apparent regard for who or what else was in the potential path of the bullets was reckless at the least and quite likely will be found to be criminal.Do officers no longer carry batons?
Or what about a taser on the dog?
The truth is had you or I done that when going to help someone who seemed in distress, I am guessing we would be up on at least negligent homicide charges by the next day.THIS: "We expect these guys to do things most here do not want to do or could not do but then want to hammer them for being fallible."
