I don't know what kind of person this guy is and maybe I shouldn't but I feel really bad for him. He's going to be more severely punished for whatever he did wrong then he should be.
First off why do the police even need dogs. I thought they were to sniff for drugs. Who in their right mind finds an animal and trains it to attack other people? Oh, our American police force. Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Will people start to object to this if they start training alligators and lions and elephants to attack its citizens? Isn't that what the drug lords do in Mexico? Does anyone think that is a good idea? I know I don't.
Not only that but when inevitably something happens to said animal, they got the balls to blame the guy for defending himself? You are the one that put that animal in danger. Not him. You sent it after a fellow human. Not him. I can understand sympathy for it being hurt and all but to then go and use that public opinion to more harshly penalize people that are unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It should be surprising to no one that if you send an animal to attack someone that person is not going to stand there and let it happen. If something is chewing on my appendages I am going to do whatever it takes to get that to stop immediately.
Since lately it seems the police can do whatever they want to their citizens including shooting and killing them with no penalty they are also now trying to put the rights of animals over people as well.
I know I'm probably in the minority here but this is the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen. KEEP THE ANIMALS OUT OF IT. We are already a violent, horrible race that doesn't seem to care too much about our own. No need to take other species down with us. There must be a major source of profit in this somewhere or someone benefited politically from this.
