Fortunately, most law enforcement personnel are dog owners & will do everything they can to avoid a situation such as the one depicted in the video. Based on what I saw of the video, my recommendation as a supervisor to the chief would have been a suspension pending termination of the officer doing the shooting. The actions of other personnel involved would have also been thoroughly examined.

Sounds like a reasonable way to deal with it, imo.
