Here in Indiana if you strike a police dog you get charged for assaulting a police officer. To be completely honest I don’t think that is fair at all, having a dog bite you and striking it is NOT the same as striking a human police officer.
Striking? He stabbed the dog.
Sorry, the moment this idiot employed ‘deadly force’ they should have put him down...dare I say it...like a dog.
Oh I agree, if you use a weapon like he did that’s another story, but if you even slap it to get it to release your arm you get charged. I was referring to just a bare handed strike to get the dog to stop biting you, that I don’t think is fair at all.
