I say the officer should undergo some training before being allowed to return.
Find the 3 most muscular officers on the force. Have them throw Mr. Jones in the air and then kick him in the stomach after he hits the ground. Repeat 10 times. If Mr Jones is still conscious after 10 times he can have his job back.
He’s damn lucky it didn’t bite back. That is a characteristic of an over -corrected malinois. They often will take so much,when they’ve had enough, they often will strike back. Any dog trainer will tell you that they are one breed that doesn’t respond well to rough tactics, they eventually fight back. Too bad the dog didn’t IMO, I have no tolerance for abuse.
