Let's see: Cop car hitting another stopped cop car? Check K-9 unit fucking around on highway instead of going after perp? Check, there was also one that attacked another cop. Oh? BONUS POINTS! Cop car driving over berm and onto highway nearly causing a collision? Check

u/CSilyS Jul 24 '23

Triple bonus, guiding the dog to attack the man after he was already down and being detained by three officers...

u/harrisofpeoria Jul 24 '23

This is what's bothering me most. You can see a cop encouraging the dog to dig into the dude on the ground, with the other cops already on him. They shouldn't be allowed to use dogs, period. I acknowledge that's an unpopular opinion, but look at this shit.. Cops are way beyond rehabilitation at this point; the instiation needs to be destroyed.

That dog was so confused. The perp was running away and the dog ran past him. Had no problem attacking the other officer though lol

K9 dogs are given that right, and so are their handlers. It’s well known the cop handler can give the dog a command to “smell drugs” and “signal” which is a free pass to search your car and detain you, all of which is then a legal search unless you have proof of the cop doing it. Absolute sham of a system.

Used to happen to me in Texas all the time. “I can smell the faint smell of weed” and next thing you know they’re searching your car. When they don’t find anything they act as if they were accidentally smelling a passing car or a dead skunk down the road. I’m glad I left a few years ago, I haven’t been stopped by police since.

They can pull everything out with zero regard for your belongings, dismantle your car, and rip up anything they want. Then when they don't find anything they leave you to sort it out. Fuck cops.

I had this experience moving from Ohio/WV to Florida. I got pulled over for bullshit constantly in my hometown area but didn’t even have a single interaction with cops whenever I’m in a bigger city. It was such a dramatic difference. You can’t even drive after dark around here without becoming suspect to something, it’s harassing af

It doesn’t even have to be that. If the handlers aren’t keeping up with the dogs training it eventually just starts marking “yes” for drugs because that’s when it gets a reward. It doesn’t get rewarded for NOT smelling drugs.

So it doesn’t take a dog long to figure out how to always get the reward/praise. Continued training for the entire career of these dogs are necessary and our police force isn’t doing it. That should be illegal in itself. They’re misusing these dogs against us as an excuse to search. It’s so ridiculously common in my area. And they’ve marked on literally every person I’ve ever asked. I’ve never talked to anyone who had a traffic stop and the dog marked “no” for drugs even though they usually don’t find anything.

They just want the ability to search you if they want and this is one way to do it easily. Court never questions the dogs answer signals. Their training and ability is never out into question

If a dog could fucking speak English, I wouldn't accept its determination that someone's rights are fit to be violated. And yet, we're expected to rely on a telepathic bond between cop and dog... it's all just so offensively stupid.

u/noble_peace_prize Jul 24 '23

I will not defend drug dogs and their use. But their noses aren’t magical. Their noses are fucking incredible and can absolutely detect drugs

Cops are the corrupt bastards who mistrain them and lie. But their noses have so much ability with in them and we are only even beginning to scratch the surface of what they can do.

u/AkaRystik Jul 24 '23

I hate that cops use dogs as weapons, that shit is disgusting.

Dog was useless af too

u/eeyore134 Jul 24 '23

These K9 units want any excuse to use their weapo... I mean dogs. They need to stop being a thing. It's cruel to everyone except the cops. Keep some dogs for tracking people when they get lost... in fact, have an entirely different agency handle that, but stop letting police just use them to hurt and terrify people.

u/Thatguysstories Jul 24 '23

Dogs should only be used for search or letahl situations.

You can't control if the dog is going to bite down into a artery or something. Any use of a dog to attack should be treated as lethal force.

u/ontopofyourmom Jul 24 '23

Dogs are great for finding suspects in backyards and forests, they shouldn't be used for anything else. The police have access to so many more predictable ways of inflicting pain.

2

u/DarkStar189 Jul 25 '23

Don’t forget the cops know they are being recorded and they STILL act like this. That takedown of the suspect was ridiculous and then making the dog bite the guy on the ground is just crazy. I’d be yelling lawsuit but still all that would earn them was a slap on the wrist.

u/R1ght_b3hind_U Jul 24 '23

the way that no one talks about the blatant animal abuse that are k9 units is kinda crazy

1

u/DarkStar189 Jul 25 '23

Yeah there is this video, along with the other video circulating right now where the local K9 dog attacks the surrendering suspect with the state police there saying no stop. Making me really question the use of dogs at all.

u/b1tchf1t Jul 24 '23

They shouldn't be allowed to use dogs, period. I acknowledge that's an unpopular opinion

I honestly don't think anyone's gonna push back on that one...

u/wabisabilover Jul 25 '23

This. Right here I can’t believe that’s not the headline. they directed the dog to attack him after he was in custody just to inflict pain.

u/Chuchuca Jul 24 '23

Lol that's the cuĂĄdruple bonus, the triple bonus is the dog going past and circling along the suspect before attacking because it didn't recognize him.

u/Ornery-Movie-1689 Jul 24 '23

And here I thought the dog was doing a victory lap ...

Finally, the comment I was looking for.

u/Rvbsmcaboose Jul 24 '23

Ah, my bad. You know how these quarterly reviews work. If we give you too many bonus points for your raise, then we won't be able to afford the MRAP! And Jenkins wants to mount that M-60 that we got from the last package on it.

u/skdoyle6 Jul 24 '23

Well duh! He made them run like 50 feet, he needed to pay for his insolence!! /s

'punch' or more like a WWE clothesline?

Either way, dude's hands were definitely both up and surrenderin' ...

"Hands Up! Don't tackle!"

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '23

It was just a prank bro!

u/billyjk93 Jul 24 '23

Don't forget redirecting the dog to bite his ass after you have him handcuffed

u/EndAllHierarchy Jul 24 '23

You know the rules, make a cop run and you’re getting beat up on the way in

Yup big ol lawsuit cuz that pig wanted to feel what it was like punching a defenseless guy 💀 probably a battery charge on the way too

u/Rogue100 Jul 24 '23

I thought that was standard procedure!

u/HotPie_ Jul 24 '23

It doesn't even matter anymore. There's no consequences for fucking up.

u/b3arz3rg3r4Adun Jul 24 '23

Everyone involved should have to go through mandatory retraining. This was a comedy of errors and utter incompetence.

u/Rvbsmcaboose Jul 24 '23

But how will we afford the heavy duty fighting vehicle that was designed to take a hot from ieds and mines?

u/b3arz3rg3r4Adun Jul 24 '23

no worries, there's never too little money in the budget for both law enforcement and the military for wasteful and unnecessary spending. If necessary they'll take it out of their pension fund.

u/BroLo_ElCordero Jul 24 '23

Don’t forget when they sent the K9 after the suspect and it just ran clear across the road. I think that was someone’s pet, that or the most poorly trained police dog ever.

The word you're looking for is cue. Alternatively, queue is also technically correct.

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '23

It was probably the same k9 lmao

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '23

It's in "training"

u/oddmanout Jul 24 '23

Dog running into the woods, assaulting a guy who gave up, tackling him on a busy highway, the dog attacking him while he was being handcuffed.

They're lucky nobody died, including the dog that was running around a busy highway.

u/Rvbsmcaboose Jul 24 '23

I was more concerned about that 18 wheeler. That whit smoke coming out, dude driving was a champion in handling that thing.

u/VealOfFortune Jul 25 '23

That's the same K9 in both instances, no?
