Don't worry ...

... I'm sure the officer was completely justified:

Yandle stepped outside to meet with the officers. He said he closed the door and left his four children inside the house with Bucky. But the dog ran out because his 3-year-old son opened the door.

Bucky got agitated as police were talking to Yandle. Although he insists the dog did not lunge at or attack any of the officers, one of the officers shot and killed him.

Seems like police are more interested in staying safe rather than deal effectively with a situation. h/t Radley
