1) Euthanize the dog immediately.


2) Charge officer responsible for its care with criminal negligence.


3) Boy and his family needs to take the human officer and his department to the cleaners in civil court.

Honestly if it was my child I would protect my child first over any dog, police K-9 or not.

Why shouldn't the handler be responsible? He was negligent in his responsibility to properly secure a dangerous weapon. He's 100% at fault

The fact that it's a police K9 is irrelevant in that scenario because the dog isn't under the control of a handler acting in an official capacity. In the OP scenario it's simply a dangerous dog that has gotten loose and is attacking a child.



You're ignoring the point.

Police like to call the dogs actual police officers as a way to increase the charges. They will only use this when it suits them best, not when they themselves abuse the animal.

The idea is they are able to arbitrarily decide when to use the charge and they will only use it as a way to increase the charges.

The handler is a police officer as well, any action or inaction on his part was for fear of his own personal safety. He did what he needed to do to go home to his family.

Apart from the bad title...


What if the dog was restraining the child like in its training.

Would a person know the difference between a trained canine take down vs an actual mean dog attack?

Not that different than the scenario in the OP. Both cases involve a poorly trained animal. A properly trained dog should not act unless the handler tells it too.

Good thing the K9 wasn't an American Staffordshire. Then that pitbull would have killed the kid.

Good point. I'm sure we will hear that at the police presser.

There is no standard for training, certification, handling, or housing or housing police dogs.

Each little podunck town w/ a canine does whatever they want.
This is why their "alerts" are false so often.

Fix your thread title a-hole. This isn't buzzfeed, you don't get points for clickbait.

too soon. The dog should first be suspended with pay pending an internal investigation.

The handler is responsible but his actions probably don't rise to the level of criminal negligence.
