Be sure to teach your dog to be politically correct.

What a crappy police dog. He should at least be suspended without pay.

Wow.. way for politicians to step in and totally cloud the issues.

I'm curious as to how many times this dog has bitten bystanders.... seems that problem should be adressed above all else. Race has nothing to do with it.

I always thought dogs were color blind

"The owner of the Tom Brenneman School for Canines near Lawrence, Kan., has trained more than 600 dogs for police departments nationwide. He said dogs determine targets by scent alone and see only gray and white."

Dog is probably a dam Republican too

Dude, that dog should be deported back to Germainia or where ever the hell he's from. there's no room in this country for Euro-dogs like that.

He probably stole that job from a perfectly capable american dog (like a german-american Shepard) even though the American dog had better scores in obedience school. This just makes me sick

My brother used to own a springer spaniel that racially profiled.

My gawd did that dog ever hate Mexicans. Just no way to explain it.

Oh for cryin' out loud! 'should be put to sleep'? Screw that handsomehunk! Why is everyone in such a rush to kill dogs?

This is the kind of crap that makes me like you dirty right-wingers.

In most states privately owned dogs are put down after they bite their 2nd person (in some cases even if the biting where justified) or the 1st bite in the injury is bad enough.

If this dog has 6 reports of unnecessary biting in one year then at least some of them are likely true, and when you add the case of the boy the need to destroy the dog seems clear. To me the race of the victims is irrelevant. Sounds like just another case of a cop getting away with something the rest of us wouldn't, only in this case the cops a dog.

Btw I've owned, trained and sold dogs most of my life and as far as racial issues and dogs, most of them just pick up on the attitudes of their owners. If you become nervous or distrustful when someone of a certain race comes along odds are your dog will learn to hate them or see them as a cause of trouble.

Just like kids- they're learning even when you don't know you're teaching

lets see here.

officer is struggling with suspect.
dog is unleashed (screw that roadkill about it being an accident release)

dog runs out, ignores his handlers struggle, and goes bite a kid who just happens to be there.

the racial thing is stupid, but i still think the dog should be retired. he is not effective, cant do his job, and is a hazzard.

I am opposed to the death penalty, even for right wing bigots like that Euro-Trash dog. I think he should get life in the pound with no chance of parole.

Sandman, that's instinctive. Mexicans raised Springer Spaniels for years as Fiesta Dogs, so your brother's dog is justified in hating Mexicans.

As long as you don't mean 'killed' when you say 'retired', I would tend to agree, if the dog has a history. It pisses me off to no end that they would train agressiveness into the dog, and then kill it because taking care of it and being responsible for it is inconvenient.

I don't know for sure... but I've heard that policy with all police dogs is that retirement = destroyed.

maybe the dog was hungry and wanted to try something different
