Reader David Dietz sends this along.
A New York City police officer hunting for a fugitive in Jersey City accidentally shot a U.S. marshal in the foot while firing at a dog on Thursday morning.
The officer from the warrants task force was with members of a fugitive task force looking for a 25-year-old man wanted on robbery charges, according to the police report.
As they reached the door where they believed the man was hiding at about 6.40am, a pit bull charged at them and bit one of the officers.
The officer fired at the dog four times killing it and hitting the marshal’s foot.
The dog was only doing what it is bred and trained to do, i.e., protect its master. But remember boys and girls, only sworn law enforcement officers are endowed with the ability to recognize peripheral threats, know your backstop, and think through tactical situations quickly by utilizing their Ninja warrior stress control training. You can’t be trusted with such things.
A federal marshal got shot. The sad part of the story is that the dog died.

New York City police are legendary for their upright character, loyalty, bravery,
steely nerves, ability to correctly size up a threat and above all else; their marksmanship. /sarc

The Marshall should have punched the NYPD pig in the mouth. At the least he should do everything he can to get the moron fired.
