In the video, it appears it was the lady that ran towards the police officer and slapped him first. The police had every right to stop her attack.
As far as the dog, there was no sound with the video, maybe the dog was growling? Pitbulls are unpredictable, and can turn aggressive in seconds. They have very strong biting jaws, and should not be allowed to run loose. There have been so many attacks made by pitbulls that many cities and towns no longer allow them to be kept as pets.
I love dogs; usually I keep two of them, they are part of the family, like children. But I hate pitbulls and would never own one.
One of my dogs, a sweet lovable black lab was attacked by a pitbull that jumped a tall fence to get loose. I saw the pitbull charging my dog, but did not get there in time. The pitbull took a chuck out of my dog’s butt near where the tail attaches. There was a good size tree branch handy (about the size of a baseball bat) which worked well to hit the pitbull and get it to leave. (Wish I had a gun handy). I hate pitbulls.
The picture below was taken a day after the operation. The tubes you see in the picture were to help drain fluids due to an infection that set in. You can see how large the bite was and how much swelling there was around the bite area, even down part of the tail. My dog survived and is still very friendly with all dogs. But I hate pitbulls.
This pitbull belong to a neighbor, and it often got loose. It had even wondered into my house a couple of times prior to this attack, without causing problems with my dogs. But, you never know when a pitbull is going to get aggressive and attack. The neighbor that owned the pitbull paid for the operation. I found out from him that this was the third time his pitbull had attacked another dog.
Did I mention I hate pitbulls?
