Killa, the pit bull

So did y'all check out the story we had in the paper today about a Phenix City police officer shooting a pit bull three times for charging?

If not, read it here.

Perhaps the officer should have used pepper spray to stop Killa from charging. Perhaps he wouldn't have pulled the trigger if Killa was say, a chihuahua or beagle.

At the same time, I don't think Killa's owner should have just let her dog out to relieve himself. Unleashed. All by his lonesome.

No matter how much an owner says, "Oh, my dog is harmless, he wouldn't hurt a fly," there will always be people who are just straight up uncomfortable with an unrestrained dog in public.

Really, it's the owner's responsibility...and city law.

I don't think there are any winners in this situation. Both sides share the blame.
