Cop must feel like a complete a**h***. Something probably to it that we will never know, dogs don't usually do that for no reason.

Ban Police K-9s

That sucks, but how the hell are police dogs afforded the same status and protections as human cops under the law when they do shit like this?

Cop kills cop, nothing to see here move along.

It's a shame the dag wasn't afforded the same QI that it's handler would receive.

Can we freedom of information act the vest cam?

The ATF must be hiring on the south shore

They will probably say a police officer assaulted another police officer and the guy had no option but shoot.

Another for me not for thee.

The guy's probably an a@$#%, dogs can sense when people are bad.

Dogs are like people.
Some are nice, some are a-holes and some just go mental.

 

[RHJJ]

Not that macing the dog was an option, what would a mailman do? They deal with dogs everyday.

 

[jaypap]

Maybe the dog found the guy he was looking for? Dead dogs don't talk.

True, but most here don,t like something that cut and dried. They like things that they can tear apart, kind of like a rogue K-9.
Oh, we're right back where we started. Oh well.

Should be an internal investigation should there not?
I mean, the way the police treat their dogs and overtime you'd almost expect some sort of internal affairs thing to bolster the coffers.

Plenty of human cops do much worse.

Who knows , maybe the guy was abusing the dog and it finally had enough of his shit.
They just did a quick bit on the news a little while ago that stated "It was not the first incident between the two" .
Whatever that means.

I have seen dogs that for the first few years of their lives were just big doofy lovable babies just go full on Cujo.
Never abused, loving home, just like someone flipped a switch .
They never came back from it either.
Both ended up being put down .

LOL and these are the same dogs that are allowed to violate your 4th Amendment rights.

 

[rommel]

The bright side is the guy they were looking for was probably spared being ripped apart. If the handler had no control then he had no control.

 

[Gasgunner]

He’s been suspended for destruction of department property right? How much money has been spent on the purchase/training/housing/care of that K9? My cruiser started pulling hard to the right. Not the first time it’s happened, I set it on fire before it hurts someone.

 

[bottle-cap]

News says dog bit handler in past. Sent back for training. Then allowed to return.

 

[Reptile]

This has happened before.

All the same jokes in that thread.

Also, "not the first time this happened with that dog, too".

I can't find the older article and google search is peppered with this latest incident.

I am really sure this happened - unless I'm having a mega deja vu.

Or, as the previous post says - maybe that dog just attacked the handler.

Anyway - "Now even the dogs are turning on the police."


EDIT:

Police dog attacks officer on a call. Another officer had to kill it, Texas cops say

A Texas police dog serving an arrest warrant with officers Friday at a Waco, Texas, home suddenly turned and bit his handler, forcing another officer to fatally shoot the dog, KWTX reported. “The dog could’ve killed him,” witness Larry Dobbins said, according to KXXV. “I agree what he had to do...

Sooooo, he should have shot the dog the first time, or, Cujo should have been euthanized and this could have been avoided?
Bad situation all around, there are no winners here. Except maybe the bad guy that avoided meeting Cujo.
I wonder how often something like this actually happens? I'm guessing it might not be all that uncommon.

 

[PATRON]

Poor dog he was just doing,what he was trained for.He must of been very stressed out to do that.

 

[KBCraig]

If a K-9 attacks the wrong person, then it's justified to shoot it? Or only if you're wearing a special costume?

 

[Lank]

I am usually 90% pro cop but capping dogs seems to ok.for thee, but if I were being attacked, no ltc

 

[RHJJ]

He was not in control of dog and should never have a dog again. WTF Plymouth
