This is the 100% logical outcome of the “warrior cop” mentality in which even the impression of impending physical contact by a civilian being, no matter in whatever everyday or casual way, is taken as justification for lethal force
This is so egregious even the LAPD press release doesn't know what to do. This "large dog" apparently "charged" at a cop, "resulting in an Officer Involved Shooting."
For all we know this dog's last thought was excitement or curiosity at all the cops — all for them to murder him.
