Lincoln, Nebraska
A dog got out of a car and was outside a convenience store. An officer approached and the dog barked at him, "showing teeth". And thus, the logical response to a barking dog (which, by necessity, shows teeth) is to fatally shoot the dog.

Portland, Oregon
A man punched his girlfriend, causing significant bleeding. He was heavily intoxicated and thought he had killed the woman. So he called the police to report the "murder".
Police arrived to find two loose dogs, a Lab and a Pit Bull. The Pit Bull lunged at one of the officers and was shot. The dog was SO dangerous that he happily jumped into the back of a police cruiser for a personal trip to the vet hospital. He is expected to survive.
Oddly enough, no word on the victim - the assaulted woman.

October 2010: Oakland Police Kill Arthritic Dog
Oakland, California
An 11-yr-old Labrador Retriever named Gloria accidentally tripped the silent alarm at her home. Unfortunately, doing so, cost her her life.
When police arrived, they entered the backyard. The dog, who suffers from hip dysplasia and can't move very fast, barked at them. Barked. Like, woof, woof. She didn't try to bite or attack, she just talked.
For the HORROR of talking, Gloria was shot three times and killed.
But hey, officers were nice enough to leave a note on the door of her owner's home!
