'Their Best Efforts' Should Have Been Better...

Insp Paul Shortt, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: "This was a horrible incident and has sadly resulted in one dog's death.
"Force dog handlers joined officers swiftly on scene. Despite their best efforts and a number of different tactics to stop the attacks, they couldn't save the dog's life.
"Officers did successfully control and contain the animals with no further injury."

This wasn't a job for dog handlers in the first place. It was a job for armed officers.  

The two dogs have been seized and their owners have been interviewed by police.

And now an expensive trial and a long wait in kennels when two bullets would have resolved things then and there.

I trust the suggested two bullets would have been for the dogs owners? It would certainly concentrate the minds of every other f2f went.
