What a tragically stupid story all around.
Breed aside, if the dog was charging and not knowing anything about the dog's history or environment, wouldn't you try to protect yourself, too?

Now if the reason the dog was shot was BECAUSE she resembled a pit, that's wrong... the article stated the dog was charging at the officer, then later also says that she was acting aggressively as the officer approached. Does anyone know if the dog actually did charge or try to attack the officer to warrant being shot at?

Regardless, the dog should have been chained up/locked up/inside... not out free to roam around...
