Ed, my heart goes out to the Millbourne family who lost their pit bull in the shooting on Centre Street because of those two idiots who started to hide over there and shot the officer. They had no right to harm that dog. It wasn‘t bothering anyone. They should be ashamed of themselves, especially Sgt. Manzo. Maybe one day someone will shoot or kill something you love that‘s near and dear to you. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh, stop. If that dog was in any way perceived as a threat (and let's not forget it was a pit bull) Sgt. Manzo had a responsibility to take it down. Let's not forget that the life of an officer is much more important than that of an animal. Now, with that said, I'm still upset that the shooting of the animal and the discharge of an officer's weapon was not reported by the department. Here come the calls.
