To summarize, police came upon a young man in a bad neighborhood and they believed he was hidding a gun in this jacket.
The cops released a police dog on the man when they claimed to see a gun.
The young man shot the dog and the police shot the man.

I'm not really sure what the cops expected to happen when they released the dog.
I assume most people holding a gun would shoot a German Shepard that was attacking them.
