There was a news report here in Pittsburgh (last week I think) about police officers shooting dogs. It gave some statistics, and I remember that in the last month, pit bulls, more than any other kind of dog, were killed by police in the name of "safety". I think the number of pit bull killings was around 20, and the next highest was Doberman at 7.

I know there is a high rate of pit bull attacks, but that officer was out of line, and power-tripping. But there's nothing you can do. When I was 13 years old, my friend and I were playing with cap guns (the quiet kind, don't look or sound like real guns). A neighbor called the police, the police snuck into the back door of our house while we were DANGEROUSLY watching TV. 2 officers started screaming at us to get on the floor and if we made one wrong move they would "shoot us dead." Absolutely inappropriate (we were on the couch, nothing in our hands, not doing anything), and to tell a 13-year-old they were going to get shot??

I don't hate police. But there are so many officers who give the police a bad wrap by acting out-of-line and abusing their authority. You were right to fear for your dogs' lives, but you shouldn't have had to.
