120. That dog was not threatening at all.

The cop is a trigger happy moron who thinks he has big balls.

If he perceives a playful dog as worthy of being fucking shot, then imagine the poor judgment he has with people.

As far as trespassing, they stopped in an empty parking lot. The fact of this business calling police for THIS is problematic as it is. We fetishize and rely on police so much in this country that a non-threatening dog belonging to non-threatening people gets shot, and people are fine with it.
