That was what I was thinking. This is a very unfortunate situation, however, the way they attacked the LEO for protecting his family is disturbing and for just having a gun in the park. Without more information we probably never know what happened for sure. One thing is for sure he felt like his family was in serious danger and reacted. Appropriately, in my opinion. Whether or not he did it because it was a pit bull or not, I don't know...however, I have see many cases, way to many, of children torn apart by them. I know it would have been on my mind.I can only imagine the reaction of the town if it had been a CHL that had taken this action to protect their children. The anti's all over the country would jump all over it. With the attitude of the police chief and of everyone they interview.. I would imagine he would be is serious trouble. IMO
