Just on the scanner; confirmed DOA on Poplar, no officers available to take the call. One did say he will take it when he's done with his "foot patrol" duty in 10 minutes.
If I had shot the Rottweiler that charged me when I was walking this morning, would there had been an officer available? |

I pulled the pistol when he came charging across the street snarling & growling, but he stopped just as I lined up the sights. His owner was yelling at him to stop, and kept saying he wouldn't bite us. If he hadn't stopped, I'd have pulled the trigger. |

It's interesting that I drew & aimed without thinking about it. I saw the threat & reacted. Some habits never die, I guess. |

Thats what it has to be practice till its a natural reaction without thinking about it. I have to say I would have less problem shooting some punk threatening me or my family than a dog just being a dog but im an animal lover. |

Hey, where you been, Andi???? And, what's with this "OLD" stuff? I am NOT a dirty old man; I'm NOT old!
Had my 8 month X-ray after my surgery last week & everything's fine. |

I can understand that it is not an emergency if the individual is already dead, but what if it was a homicide? Did the person calling believe it was natural causes? |

I heard that there was an ambulance crew there waiting for an officer, so I'm not sure if it was suspicious or not. I think it's a routine thing for DOA's. |
