This is too much of the changing LEO ethos of “serve and protect...yourself first.” And I blame the presence of females and affirmative action hires on the beat for a large portion of it. Unwilling to place themselves in any danger, if at all possible. Call in a SWAT with body armor, automatic weapons, and armored vehicles. Today, any aggressive move by a dog in the presence of a LEO is likely to earn the pooch a bullet.

I agree. Too many weenies wetting their pants at the sight of a dog.
