The police dog shoots a child on a routine traffic stop
Readers suggested additional context: Inside the stopped car there was a terrorist holding a child hostage and threatened to explode the car if demands weren’t met. Police dog took a shot and miserably failed, resulting in 30 casualties
There was no terrorist, police dog just wrote that in the official report to save their own ass. Don't worry, after an internal investigation police dog has been transferred to a different department 30 miles away and insists a lesson was learned.
You forgot the part about the "terrorist" being the cop's ex, and the baby being the out-of-wedlock love child of the ex and the cop's former best friend. So the traffic stop's justification in the first place was completely fucked.
