Hi, Does anyone on here remember the family dog that was shot by a cop when the family was stop by police here in Tennessee? The dog was waging his tail came up to the cop and cop just shot it. This story became national on all the news channels around the country. This time a cop shot a dog for what they say is a good reason. What do you think of this?

Dog shot by Metro officer after confrontation
A Metro Police officer was forced to shoot a dog in self-defense on Monday. Police were called to an East Nashville home after a pit-bull chased a couple of kids into a home. The dog got inside, and pinned a girl to a couch. An adult came to the rescue and threw the dog back outside. But, just then the responding officer arrived on the scene and became the aggressive animal's next target.
Mero Police Sgt. Richard Foley said, "In doing so, he ran around his patrol car two separate times, twice, in an attempt to keep the dog from attacking him. After the second time, the dog continued to follow him. The dog was relentless in its attempts to try to bite him, and came at him growling in an aggressive manner. And he fired one shot, striking the dog."
No people were hurt in the incident. Metro Animal Services later took the dog's remains away from the home.
Thanks, Robert.
