The dog was wearing a hoody and didn't belong in the neighborhood.

This is why the laws in place that criminally punish law abiding citizens from physically defending against unlawful arrest and use of force with their own use of arrest and force, up to and including deadly force need to be erased. Cops are not above the law. Pointing a gun at an unarmed person and shooting their dog would be criminal charges against us... The same needs to apply to public servants.
