Ditto.

I watched a pit kill another dog. He did not stop till it was done.

And after the other dog was dead, every few minutes the pit would go back, grab it, and proceed to shake it for another five minutes...

Where I live they have “dangerous dog” laws and the animal was eventually put down.

Thank God it was another dog and not a three year old girl, because he would have done EXACTLY the same thing.

Our local post office has a memorial plaque for a letter carrier. Attacked by a pit bull, lost her balance and fell, hit her head, never recovered. My letter carrier’s been attacked twice in recent weeks. The office now won’t let carriers leave their trucks without taking their bag along, the theory being that you use the bag to fend off the dog.

And was just turning it's life around, and was starting a promising career in nip-hop...

Yes, no doubt, an aspiring rap artist.

Indeed it does. As I said above, I’m not sure I would have allowed the dog to bite me twice before I defended myself. Then again, a better point might be that none of us were there. And until we are put in that position we really don’t know how we would react. I’m sorry this woman and her family have lost their dog. But it was her responsibility to keep it contained while LE was on scene.

Really?

I’ve never ever seen anyone home or employment verification done by anyone but a US Probation Service officer

And I’ve seen...a lot.

I think there is more to this than some routine check.

Typically PO visit in beginning.

If you are good and work.....they know instinctively

You may never see them again except when you visit their office monthly or quarterly

You are correct....that is normal....simply PO shows up...if they like you they will tell you ahead of time

SWIM knows this for a fact....lol

This was not a routine check

Likely in the ghetto or projects for a non complaint parolee with HOD

they use stronger LEO arms to sweep projects and probation violations are a convenient snare to grab targets
