What should have been done?

[Ronin]

Glad to see law enforcement has a public service attitude on this one.

This guy gets called to a cat in a tree and he shoots the cat to get it out.

Law enforcement has a duty to protect property. If this were his mother's house or his own, would he have done the same thing? As public servants we must always follow the "my family" rule. Would I treat my family the same way? What if one of my family were in that burning building? What if one of my family was pulled over for speeding?

what if a member of my family is stuck in this traffic jam trying to get to the hospital in an emergency situation???
