As many posted here have expressed, I too was outraged when viewing the online video of the dog shooting. After viewing Officer Eric Hall's interview, I have decided this particular officer is in serious need of K-9 training. I have been informed that this officer has shot a dog before. This leads me to believe he has a fear of animals that should be rehabilitated before he kills again. Though it has been decided no disciplinary actions will be made toward Officer Hall, I'm sure rehabilitation is a minimal slap on the hand. Let him head a K-9 task force for a few months. Maybe this will help him become more comfortable with dogs.

I'd hate for this situation to happen again. Who knows if Officer Hall is mentally capable of displaying good judgment in light of this. He could "anxiously" kill a human being, as it appears he did with this seemingly harmless family dog. It could've been a poodle, seems like he would've shot it regardless.

What excuse will an "Investigative Team" comprised of protective peers give then?
