Holy shit that just went from him being bad with the catch pole to shooting the dog with no provocation. He was following the dog around for a while being a little dog who didn’t want to be caught. No growling, barking, or charging. Pretty sure that’s completely incompatible with how rabid animals work. It was a silly dog just wandering around a field and wriggling out of a badly applied restraint. Then just switch over to blast the motherfucker.
Unreal that we succeeded at getting these maniacs to wear and use bodycams, the city watched the video, and they decided it was a good shoot. The was NOTHING to justify it, not even in a “people make bad decisions under stress” way.
You can see his shadow with the catch pole a few times. He’s not even using two hands on it, which I believe means there was no way it could work. Hence why he couldn’t restrain the dog despite being able to easily loop it over his head multiple times due to it being BLIND.

I said “awwwww!” a split second before the shots were fired. The little guy could have easily been caught with the pole or picked up with bite gloves.
Plus, you can get a rabies shot immediately if it bites you.
This guy took five minutes before he decided the dog was simply wasting his time.
