A friend of mine has been a cop for over 5 years. At first it was very exciting for him to serve and protect the people while getting paid to do it.

Within a year, his mind was changed a lot. He would call me once a day and tell me stories and situations that makes you question what is wrong with people's heads.

All cops are stressed out, depressed, under paid, and get treated like shit from the majority of the public. The exciting days for them are gone faster than a few paychecks.

The majority of the public that cops come in contact with daily are not just your average weed smoker or traffic speeder. These kind of people cops consider a vacation to deal with.

So why these things happen like shooting three dogs? As a cop working year after year dealing with 100 scumbags a day, you start to develop an instant accurate profile of most people you come in contact with. This profiling has common factors that all cops agree on. You need to have such skills or you will end up dead or mentally insane.

You have to take into account, there were more than one cop at the scene. Something happened that made the cops kill the puppies. What happened? No one knows for sure. But you can be confident if the cops did not have to shoot the puppies, they would not have done so. They were pushed to do it and there are at least a dozen scenarios I can think of which prompts cops to shoot a dog.

That puppy that was said "hiding under the table" could have been ready to attack the cops. Cops are not trained to combat animals, specially pit bulls.
