Enlarge photo Surveillance video from a Fayetteville Wal-Mart shows an employee, 52-year-old Mang Dieke of Riverdale, struggling with a Fayette County Sheriff's police dog that attacked him outside the store. Dieke dragged the Belgian Malinois by the collar into the store as he struggled to get free.

The incident happened about 2 a.m. Thursday when the worker, Mang Dieke, stepped outside to take a coffee break. As he sat on an outside bench near a Fayette County Sheriff’s K-9 officer’s SUV, a door of the vehicle popped open, and a Belgian Malinois leaped out.

Nah, police dogs have their role and it is a necessary role. They do good work and I don’t hear near as many problems with police dogs as with police themselves.

About my only complaint with police dogs is with the handlers. They seem to get off on seeing the dogs yanking on perps too long, or maybe they think they need to reward the dogs with a little play time. I don’t know. It seems they really take their time calling off the dog. Of course the dogs in some of these videos aren’t keen to break off their attack but in others, the cops really give the dog a good long play time, longer than seems necessary once the perp has submitted. That’s gotta hurt.

Now ask me if I have any sympathy for the perps?

He would have had more holes in him than a piece of Swiss chese.

Cops shoot dog not bothering them, or while trespassing on citizens’ property, no problem.

If this guy would have shot this police dog attacking him, he’d be up on murdering an officer charges.

Dieke’s clothes were ripped, and he sustained deep bites to his stomach, chest, arm and groin.

That dog REALLY likes to play...

Aged golden retriever belonging to a non-cop private citizen?

Clearly a dangerous threat to an officer. Must be shot on sight if it so much as looks at an officer.

Loose police dog which attacks a civilian?

Well, golly gee, these things happen. Oopsie. Our bad. Don’t shoot Rex, unless you want to be imprisoned for murdering a police officer.

When someone - or an article - states that the gun “accidentally went off”, I ask them how often do their hooked-up power tools suddenly start running. Deer-in-headlights response and an awkward silence.

On some of those, the trigger pull is heavier than a handgun.

That’s how they play, play kinda rough! I’ve had plenty of clothes ripped, bites (accidental) while training. That said, if the attack WAS unprovoked (which we don’t know) then the dog meets the definition of a vicious dog.

If the guy was taunting the dog, in the dog’s face, we don’t know what went on, just that the dog got out, the guy got bit. It is pretty unusual for a trained dog to target anything except arms and legs. If I were a betting man, I’d bet the stomach, chest, groin were scratches, since from the picture the dog has a classic upper arm hold, often they will brace against your body with their front feet, rip the heck out of your clothes, that’s why you wear a scratch suit or Carhartt overalls. I realize the article says deep bites, but this is a journalist whose experience with protection dogs is about as deep as his experience with firearms, and we know what kind of idiotic references they make to various weapons.

The dog was drug inside while maintaining his grip on the upper arm, which is just as the training dictates. They don’t let go till the ‘out’ command is given, so I don’t believe he would bite in the stomach and let go. It’s not in their DNA or training.

Perhaps someone can explain to me how a *cop* gets to leave a dog in a parked car in the summer? I’d, rightly, be arrested for animal cruelty.

I've seen it plenty of times, and the first time I saw it, I asked about it. They leave the car running with the AC blasting.

Okay. I don’t believe you should be apprehended by something with which you cannot communicate, and you think it’s okay. We disagree.

“How do they train police dogs to not notice the pattern that most perps needing take down are black?”

Interesting observation.

Yep, though unfortunately, we have allowed a double standard to develop.

If a cop shoots a law-abiding conservative’s dog, the cop clearly feared for its life.

If a law-abiding conservative shoots a loose officer’s dog attacking his family, friends or own dog on his property, that’s murder of a police officer.

If a cop shoots a police dog?

Well, the department has lost an “asset” (apparently it’s only a “police officer” if a non-cop kills it).

You or I would be in jail charged with “cop killing” if we had shot the same dog for an unprovoked attack.
