Many people consider dogs to be part of the family, and citizens in Colorado are tired of police shooting those family members.
It has happened at least a half-dozen times in the past five years, and now lawmakers have had enough.
Two Colorado state senators plan to introduce a bill requiring police departments to adopt policies and procedures for dealing with dogs.
Sens. Lucia Guzman, a Denver Democrat, and David Balmer, a Centennial Republican, say they want officers to distinguish between a barking dog and a dangerous dog.

BS ..A officer has the right to shoot a aggressive dog especially if it running at him or ANYONE else in the public.
How many of those dogs were sic'd on the cops before they had to be shot?
How about if the dog was just barking and growling (dogs do that when feeling threatened, that's their nature).
Cops that shoot first and think later are a problem.
