And if someone had come to the kid’s defense and shot the dog, as on- and off-duty cops routinely do, that person would be in custody right now. Of course, the problem isn’t the dog, it’s the handler. And when cops kill the family pet, the problem also usually isn’t with the dog.

1- shoot the dog

2- shoot the idiot for making one shoot the dog

When I was 7 months pregnant and worked for the local county, I went on my work break to watch a demonstration of the local police canine unit since I am a dog lover. One of the police dogs tried 3 times to attack me and was held back by his handler who accused me of doing something wrong and asked me to leave since it was giving a bad impression to the audience. When you teach a dog to attack people, they are only dogs and will have difficulty distinguishing who to attack.

Is it time yet for Santa to deliver cocktails to “Law Enforcement” through their bedroom windows on Christmas eve?

The police have transitioned from “Peace Officers” to Law Enforcement Officers. Commensurate with that transition has come a seige mentality and an attitude of being above the law and over the mere citizens that they are allegedly supposed to serve and protect. Standards have been lowered to make the small, female, and racial minorities feel good about themselves. Add to this the habit of all police departments to circle the wagons and attempt to protect the most egregious behavior and accountability is not an element of modern policing.

Sue the police department, the person “handling” the dog was criminally negligent. Why wasn’t this extremely dangerous animal on a leash??? Why didn’t the “handler” keep the dog under their control at all times??? This person is irresponsible and needs more training, as well as the embarrassment of causing the police dep’t to be sued. Think what would happen to you if your dog bit the “handler’s” kid under similar circumstances. Your dog would be dead, you would be in jail, you would be sued, and you would be castigated in the local papers. Sue them.

#34,

Steve is right. The dog is just an animal. You blame the cop who handled it. Besides, which would be more satisfying? Seeing a dumb police dog put down for doing what it was trained to do or seeing its even dumber, more dangerous handler getting hauled off to jail (or getting his ass brutally beat by the kid’s father).

Thanks for the excellent advice.

I’ll see to it almost immediately upon your so sage advice.

Best regards, police-dog-poop licker.

Please, don’t go full retard.

The failure was on the part of its owners (the police, and its handler in particular). Punishing the dog for the failure of humans is both stupid and banal. Part of the problem of your “solution” is that it leaves the crappy handler/owner unchanged. They will just get another dog and repeat the very same pattern of behavior and you’ll have another problem dog on your hand.

So, pull your head from your fourth point of contact before you suffer even more brain damage from lack of oxygen. Thanks.

If the dog were taken from the department and placed in a loving home with experienced, responsible dog handlers, I bet he could be a good dog; so, I can’t get behind your sausage suggestion.

Make it donuts, however, and I have to admit I’m a bit more sympathetic.

The dog participated in the unconstitutional, immoral, and un-Godly war on drugs and this is an endorsement?

The dog has been used to crush the God given rights of Americans to choose what they put into their bodies and this is a good thing?

All I can say is WTF?

You’re assuming that the cop can actually bring himself to calmly present his badge and ask for compliance, rather than pull out a sidearm and do his best “I may be a cop, or I may just be some armed asshole who is about to kill you for shooting my dangerous dog” routine. If the latter, no one could be criticized for unloading a few rounds into him out of self-defense.

Mr. Dog handler is an asshole for letting his dog dump in someones yard. That’s one of those things that make me want to kill. If I want my daughter to step in dog shit in my yard, I’ll get my own dog. The fact that he’s an asshole explains why this dog was off leash and in a yard he didn’t belong in. He was off duty, so he should be a sitting duck for a lawsuit.

Thom, I said “taken out of service”, not “euthanized.” I agree that it’s the handler’s fault, for failing to control a vicious animal.

Cripes. Michael Vick spent time in prison for training dogs to attack *other* *dogs.* “Storm’s” owners are practically stroking his red rocket for successfully attacking that *human* kid, just as they trained that dog to do.

Like cops are somehow magically better than anyone else at reverting dogs to a feral state and then keeping them from mauling other living things.

Double standard double plus good.

How much do you want to bet the off-duty officer didn’t have a little baggie for the dook? Who’s going to complain?

I love the pics of cops attacking black civil rights marchers in Alabama and Nazis using dogs on people and dogs patrolling our schools and immigration agents using dogs and… police dogs make me all warm and fuzzy.
