Agreed, the gun in hand was over the top. I said I understood why he drew his gun. This all boils down to the quality of training the officer received both in the academy and under an FTO. Some departments are very reluctant to weed out poor candidates.speedsix wrote:...since when do police, even on a domestic dispute, pull a gun on an unarmed man who's just walking around the side of his house in broad daylight??? That's a bit much, even given the wrong address...I can see where he felt threatened by the dog, but if he'd been behaving in a calm, professional manner, the dog wouldn't have advanced on him...he was screaming at his owner and holding a gun on him...I don't blame the dog...this should cost the city a bundle and the officer some time off...and if he was given the wrong address by HQ, time off for the person who put out the wrong address...the saddest part of this all, nothing will bring Cisco back...the best thing about this...the hysterical officer didn't shoot the homeowner...

According to the KXAN story above, the officer was at the address he was dispatched to. The person who called the domestic disturbance in gave the wrong address. According to KXAN, the actual address was next door. So the officer was where he was dispatched to. If he was the first on the scene at a domestic call I understand why he had gun in hand. This still doesn't bring Cisco back or lessen the responsibility to make things right.
