not a crime in most states. if you can't control your dog, leash it. it's the rules the rest of us follow and the cop should too.
Forgive me, but bleeding heart liberal views do not impede upon the need for these animals. Why throw a human into the blood ring when a fleet 4 footer with gnashing teeth will do a much more effective job.
If you want to scream about innocents being hurt, why not campaign against the Criminal element instead of asserting your armchair views upon those who do face these threats.
These dogs (Attack trained) are used in riot control. We use them in crowds at Public events. We use them for drunken brawls, chasing suspects, etc etc. If they were only brought out when there was a kilometre clear radius of the innocent civilian population, they would never be brought out. Its simply an unacceptable proposition for law enforcement.
I dont believe the dog was accidentally released either. Its a poor handler who allows that to happen. Civil litigation may be brought against the department. Depends on the legislation at the incident.
No matter how hard you try, you cannot control an animal 100%, no more than you can control a human being.
The dogs are dangerous, fierce and terrifying. Thats what their supposed to be.
Police Dog handlers when recruited are often Officers with a young family and perhaps 1 other dog tho none is prefered. This allows the dog to understand interaction with human beings so it is not brought up to be a killer or mindless automaton that attacks at will.
Like I stated earlier. Dogs may mistakes. The initial point of the thread was that some idiot was trying to make the point of a Police Dog allegedly making the distinction between racial heritage. This is plain and simply...false. No Police dog in US, Australia or Britain is trained for that. At least not officially.
Can it be done?
Yes. I think it can.
Will it be done to a Police dog in either of those countries?
No.
