Had a little trouble reading this at first, I was like, "The cops showed up and shot the person 98 times? Police brutality is so ridiculously out of hand!." Then I realized I was reading it wrong, but decided the statement was still valid.

In all of the situations, the police shot at least one dog.

Just to be sure they shot something.

This is why more schools need therapy dogs: it might encourage the police to actually enter the building during active shootings.

Imo the dog is more likely to stop the shooter.

Nah. The cops shot an average of 98 times

which is more than half the time when cops show up anyways, and more than double of the rate where they successfully subdue the attacker or convinced them to surrender.
