The cop is a danger and a liar. Lousy, but we see it a lot. What's really awful here, though, is that the SD lied "for weeks after the shooting" when they knew the cam truth immediately. This speaks to a broken, rotten dept that need a thorough housecleaning.
... When a police officer saw the woman lying in the grass, he approached and called out to her, and a dog ran toward him. Backing up, he fired his gun "multiples times toward the dog."
The woman then yelled out that she'd been hit. She was transported to a nearby hospital, where she later died. Her identity won't be released until her family is notified.
It's unclear if the dog was struck by the gunfire....

Hey, I had to shoot her or take the chance that I might get dog bit

He could have shot himself in the head to prevent being bitten by the dog. Would have been a better outcome.

You could be right, but I'm not sure that a felony keeps them from another job.
Not at all saying that I think it will happen, but I'll bet that a felony where someone dies is an automatic blackball for most LEO jobs. It's not that bosses are all that moral, but who would want this case brought up if he's involved in some new ugly incident? Private security otoh . . .

Seems like a reasonable regulation. I wonder about the time frame. It seems like there have been felon cops and sheriffs in the past or at least some in old movies.
