We continue our coverage of the dog shooting the man which we are not making up:

[A] black Labrador Retriever suddenly jumped into the back of the bed and right onto the gun. Somehow, the dog’s paw turned off the safety and pulled the trigger, shooting Branch in the left leg.

Somehow indeed! This smells to me of racist caninism, that’s what it smells like to ME! Vincent Bugliosi, what do you make of this?

Geraldo, the dog turned off the safety? AND pulled the trigger. Sounds like a human’s story to me. I want to know what the black Canine-American said, Geraldo. Did the police take a statement? I doubt it. It sounds to me like they just went with the human’s story. This smells, Geraldo, it stinks!
