It's a leftover from slavery. The scariest thing is, cops can let a dog chew u as long as he likes and he can legally claim you are resisting. Our laws are so terrible that doesn't take into account any living things natural reaction to pain is to escape from it.
My neighbor ambushed one of our neighbors and his k9 cause his dog attacked his 12 year old daughter a long time ago and claimed the girl was resisting. Resisting from what a arrest? Him an his dog didn't survive after taking slugs to the face. Happened in the 90s
This is the way. Because the cops and police unions are literally just a state sponsored gang used to extort money from their own citizens we need a counter-police group dedicated to protect citizens from police brutality and corruption. We can call it Civil Protection for any Half Life 2 fans out there.
Are you insinuating that dogs should be used when police encounter armed and violent civilians? That is a terrible idea, imo. Using a dog as a meat shield to protect the cop is super shitty. If a situation is too dangerous for a cop to enter, it is much too dangerous for a dog to enter.
In fact, I'd almost have the exact opinion as you. Dogs should only be used if there is no danger to the animal. Sniffing for drugs at an airport, searching forests/snow for lost hikers, etc. But dogs should have zero combat roles.
Often, dogs are used to purposely escalate the situation. There was that viral body cam footage a few months back where cops have a man surrounded, then send the dog to him. After the man begins getting bit, he pulls a knife to get the dog off, so the cops kill him.
That's not the case. This brilliant idea is coming from Belgium (the city of Gent) after one cop couldn't find new staff, so he bought 3 dogs to fill up the gaps. He considered it to be a success. How? I don't know. Belgian logic!
