The arrest was bullshit. But the shooting was self defense. The dog (what appears to be a Rottweiler... which is one of "those" breeds) made several aggressive lunges that the officers. It appears right before getting shot, it made contact with one officers arm. The situation should never have started, but once it did, they didn't have much choice in protecting themselves. If that dog had been a dude with a rudimentary weapon on the level of a vicious dog bite, dude would have been laid out just the same.
