LOL!
Oh stoppit!
BTW, I like cops. See my comment above. But, some on this forum have a pathalogical and pathetic obesession with defending every rogue cop and believeing everything they say, regardless of contrary evidence and circumstance.
Yep. Nothing like "projecting;" especially when you haven't the slightest idea what actually happened.
Here's an experiment: Find a Boxer, any Boxer. Fall down onto the ground within 100 feet. Advice: Bring a towel.
Boxers used to be used for police dogs in Germany. Know why there are so few of them still in use today? It is too difficult to train Boxers to be aggressive toward humans.
But, hey, why am I telling you that? You're an expert on Boxers. You did a Google search and proved they are vicious killing beasts. In your thorough search You found:
1) One Boxer who wasn't even a Boxer (mixbreed=mutt);
2) One Boxer who attacked ANOTHER DOG (dog aggression does not=human aggression); and
3) a story about one Boxer who attacked a woman. The circumstances of the attack are not even given in that case. Just that he attacked her. Was the dog abused? Fed gunpowder? (That's what white trash do to make dogs aggressive). And the fact that her "next door neighbor grabbed the dog and pulled it off and they were able to contain the dog in another room" should tell you that something is very odd about that story.
Just for the sake of arguement, I'll give you that one. Okay, so in all your vast research (a 30 second google search) you found one Boxer who bit one person. That just makes my point: Boxer attacks against humans are exceedingly rare.
Knowing what I know about Boxers and the way the article is written, I think I have a good idea what happened. Certainly it is far more realistic than your "Devil dog from Hell attacked friendly officer for no reason whatsoever" bullcrap. The rogue cop did not have to shoot the dog. The rogue cop made a mistake. The rogue cop should pay for that mistake.
Boxers, while they look fierce, are anything but. I grew up with Boxers and Great Danes and would not think twice about leaving a kid or anyone else alone with one.
If you asked me to describe a Boxer, I would not hesitate to use these words: goofy, clown, drool-y, overly affectionate, and sensitive.
Boxers will protect their property, but usually only if their family is there too. They care far more for their humans than their humans stuff.
And as far as protecting their family, the Boxer's first instinct is to get between the attacker and the family member. They do not show aggression unless they are unable to seperate the two and their family member is still being attacked.
