Paper tells readers, "Having an Emergency? Don’t Call the Police"

After reading a bit more on this... I can definitely say this was a very unfortunate situation. I am sure it would have been handled differently if there was no mention of 'getting a gun'... but regardless... a lot of things went wrong... and that is unfortunate. From what I read I am not sure any amount of training would have helped. Communication devices were failing... there was poor communication... the beanbags seemed to be unecessary... which caused a dog to be released and then in a split second an officer had to make a life or death decision about what he thought was happening... and he was clearly wrong.
