Exactly. The daughter yelled at him to 'come here' and he listened. I'm glad the cops showed restraint toward the dog, they don't always...

Cops have been known to shoot friendly golden retrievers that run up on them. So, seeing this scared and curious pitbull walking up to his person to sniff him and check on him, and then go right up to the cops... my heart sank. This could've gone a lot worse for that pup.

Yeah, you better believe they will shoot that dog at the drop of a fuckin hat, the first time the police knocked on my door my dog came running and sat down right beside me I answered the door my dog barked (that's what dogs do sometimes) the first thing the officer said was get that dog mam I'll shoot that motherfucker, shit fuckin infuriated me that dog didn't even lift his damn paw off the floor, they made that whole situation so much worse than needed to be I guess to feed his fuckin ego, I was not going to feed his ego and you ain't shooting my dog

Oh, I know it. I had the cops at my house a few years ago to inform me my father had died. They rang the bell and stepped off my porch to the sides. When I came to the door and they saw me, they both bladed their bodies and put their hands on their guns. They didn't pull them...and call me paranoid, but I don't appreciate that body language, particularly given the situation.

I have zero history with the cops here, no arrests, not even a ticket in the last 25 years. They just didn't like my physical size. ( I'm fairly huge at 6'4 and 260 lbs). Thankfully, I didn't have a camera or a dog with me, or I may have been 'resisting'...

You know that they have a shit book full of things they call resisting not things we would consider resisting but not really resisting.

As soon as I saw the dog I was like "oh no" - cops love shooting dogs.
