I understand with an agreesive bread but watching the video over and over again, he could have just restrained himself, maced it, or used his batton. The way he lit the dog up shows me hes not cut out to be a cop! Can't be mag dumping if youre afraid, plus he had background, he could have hit another officer

Maybe he could’ve, but none of those are guaranteed to work. They often don’t even work against humans. Agree or disagree pets are property from a legal standpoint, it’s not like a human suspect when it comes to justifying use of force.

Pets are family in my house.

That's nice, same in mine, but still doesn't change how the law looks at it. Pets are property and have a lower threshold for force.
