Remember The Rule To Know Your Target And What Is Beyond?

There's a reason it is a rather important firearms safety rule.

In short, there's now at least one Detroit police officer (and I suspect many more)  that certainly needs some remedial firearms training and improved proficiency.

The Detroit News: Officer accidentally shot by partner aiming at dog, Detroit police said

Vicious dogs are an ever-present problem in Detroit.  From feral dogs to criminal's pit bulls and rotties to just plain negligent owners who don't properly train and control their dogs there's sadly a lot of bad and dangerous dogs out there. 

Bad dog related stuff, as a result, happens all the time, and police often do have to shoot dogs that are attacking them or others.

But, shooting your partner instead of the dog charging at the two of you is really not an ideal solution to an attacking dog problem.

But, but, cops are 'speshul'! The rules don't apply to them... sigh
