    If you’re scared of dogs you simply shouldn’t be allowed to be a police officer. Dogs can be dangerous, but a dog running at someone is a very normal thing dogs do and you need to be able to fucking handle that before you enter someone’s property with a gun.

      Or dog owners could simply keep their animals under control. Other people don’t particularly want to be approached by canines of unknown provenance.

        If you’re entering someone’s property without their express consent, you’re not being “approached” by a dog. If it’s literally your job to do that, you need to be able to react reasonably to dogs who will act like dogs.

        Just don’t become a cop, then you can complain about dogs approaching you all you want.
