Reply to comment by mistersausage in UPDATE: FBI agent who fatally shot dog leads the bureau’s Philly office, sources say by Banglophile

If her dog was in actual danger and it wasn't just two dogs making noises at each other, she tried to actively separate them and couldn't, and was controlled in the way she ended up employing her weapon; this was reasonable action.

Assuming the description given is accurate.

>But video of the incident, captured by security cameras outside the apartment building, paints a more complicated story, according to a source who reviewed it.

why not just release the video footage? how long does it really take to review? or screen it to reporters?

The reporter is getting this description from an anonymous source without having seen the footage themselves. Presumably that source is a police officer or FBI agent who would have every reason to paint the FBI agent’s actions charitably.

I would not take an anonymous 2nd hand account as the definitive story.

That's why I threw in the qualifier. Too many times descriptions of footage of LEOs by LEOs is so far from what is actually shown that it's beyond understanding.

So it would not surprise me if that description is not accurate in part or as a whole. My guess would be that the attempt to separate the dogs would likely be the area doing the most heavy lifting on the veracity end.

Also really want to know what the other owner was doing.
