No, the fault lies entirely with the police and their policies. The police failed, and it's clear to most people who happen on this story.
This law deals with irresponsible dog ownership.
Who here will attest to the fact that this dog owner maintained complete control of his dog?
Don't mistake my position for being pro-police, look at the facts of the matter.
That dog would never have been shot by the police if the dog had been properly constrained within the vehicle.
To me it all sounds like a bully taking a kids hand and using it to punch the kid's face all while saying: "Stop hitting yourself! What are you stupid? Stop hitting yourself!"
