“Corporal Mario Jenkins was shot and killed by an Orlando police officer who mistook him for an armed suspect at a University of Central Florida football game.

He was working a plainclothes assignment with other university police and Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco agents, to combat under age drinking at the football game.”

And it’s not just dogs; the trainer of a horse named “Clever Hans” genuinely believed the horse could do arithmetic, but actually it just tapped it’s foot until it saw the trainer tensing up as it reached the correct count.

It has been proven dogs can be trained to detect some cancers on humans.

My dog happens to be trained to sniff out golf balls (I live near a course and my boys have a business re-selling golf balls). My dog finds 2 – 4 dozen per night.

Can dogs be trained to find drugs? Of course – they can also be trained (very easily) to ‘Alert’ when they find golf balls (or drugs) and at the same time to ‘Alert’ when their handler gives a specific signal.

In truth, the fact that a dog ‘alerts’ means nothing at all – he could be following one of many signals that direct him to alert.

The dog alerts to please his handler, and to get a treat.

It’s the way dogs have been trained for eons.

“We spent 3 years and millions of dollars on this bust! We probably set the drug cartels back 10, maybe 15 minutes!”

Don’t these clowns realize that if you need to ship 500 tons of pot, you ship 550 tons to compensate for the 50 tons that will be interdicted?

You lost the war, fools. Just legalize the shit.
