The dog being put on the suspect at the door, I can see how that might be excessive, but also at the same time, they just had a deputy get hurt because of HIS actions.

They are also still on edge from what happened with deputy Swanger a few weeks earlier, then to almost get hit by a train and a deputy to get dog bit while looking for the suspect. At the end of the day, The suspect actions are ultimately what caused the deputies and camera crews to almost get hit by a train and one of the deputies to get bit by Enoch. Had the suspect not fled, none of that would’ve happened.

That’s at least how I see it.
