Hey guys when in a foot pursuit have you ever encountered aggressive dogs? and if you have, what did you do? (kick it, spray it, baton it, or shoot it)

Right before I was hired an officer shot a Pit Bull that had just killed a lady a few minutes prior.
You can kill the animal if your safety is at risk.“I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis upon the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement”

I mean, we're getting killed for these people and they don't even appreciate it. They think it's a big joke.

I've tased a dog but I wasn't in a foot pursuit when I did it.
With that said, if I was chasing after a guy bad enough to make me run after him, and a dog wanted to take a piece out of me, I'd have to say I'd blow that stupid dog's head clean off...or at least put a nice sized hole in it.If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.-Samuel Adams

Have any of you been caught by surprise to the point where the dog actually bites you? or has any bad guy gotten away because you were delayed dealing with a dog?

I have not been attacked by a dog yet, but I have already made the decision that if a dog attacks me, I am using deadly force. I have seen people mauled to a bloody pulp before. My department policy, and CA penal code allows me to use deadly force any time I believe my life, or the life of another is threatened with death, or great bodily injury.

All three. First a couple of whacks with the baton to disable, then the spray to make sure. Then, he's already in all that pain and seriously suffering, and you DO have a gun ....
