What a crappy couple of days it's been.

[Unit 5302]

Well, my basic feelings about police dogs is that they are time bombs waiting to go off. A friend of mine had most of his arm ripped off in his own yard by an ex police dog that got loose.

The police dog is trained to basically shred the suspect to bits as long as he is moving. Let me think.... If I was in agony and there was a viscious beast attacking me, would I move? I can't tell you how many COPS episodes I've seen where they have to basically tear the beast off somebody, armed or not.

Police dogs are fine for tracking, and they are fine for apprehending suspects that are dangerous to armed police officers. Like when they are hold up in an area where police cannot see them. They are not acceptable pets, and they are trained to use excessive force.
