COCONUT CREEK, Fla. A Florida police dog is being kicked off the force after biting a doughnut shop worker and an officer in separate incidents.
Officials say 4-year-old Renzo had been with the Coconut Creek Police Department for more than a year. The Belgian Malinois bit an officer in November while tracking a suspect. Last week, he burst out of a patrol car and bit a Dunkin' Donuts worker in the calf.

He is not a very good K-9 officer if he is biting the doughnut shop workers. That is completely unacceptable.

Did anyone get the dog’s side of the story? Where is his legal representation?
To: Cecily
That’s like a human cop biting an Alpo worker.

Which was considered the more serious offense. Biting the cop, or the donut shop employee?

If Alpo were made by dogs.

Some people just need biting.

I bet this K-9 officer plays by his own rules and they were just looking for a reason to take his badge. He's been chewed out by his Lieutenant multiple times, but they've kept him around because he's usually a dog who gets results. He probably has a partner who is more by-the-book and usually keeps his renegade buddy's nose clean, but not THIS time.
Even though he's fired, I bet he drags his old partner into an unresolved case and they end up getting their man. He'll be back on the force causing havoc in no time!

Maybe the poochie didn't get is milk-bone treat from the owner!!!
I mean come-on it's not the dog's fault..it's everyone else's. Isn't that what the "ignorant slut" said about ISIS??
Now am I talking about BO or the blonde?

Nevermind. I see now. He first bit the cop, but he wasn’t kicked off the force until he bit the one who supplies the donuts.

while a “cute” story for journ-o-lists, there are actual rules regarding police dogs. For example a criminal hurting/killing a police dog is an attack on an officer.
I suspect this is a “firing” in order to allow the after police force care of the dog.

Where the victims Blacks or Hispanic? Maybe he was just following the example of other cops. Where is Holder on this?

LOL, donut shop and COPS...
Firing the dog seems wrong. When human COPS shoot people on ‘mistake’ theyre put on admin leave and its all eventually swept under the rug. The dog should get the same treatment....
