She thought siccing a dog on a human being was a good idea. She did the crime and she did the time.

Shouldn't all K-9 police officers who "sic a dog" on fleeing suspects go to jail then?

What the hell do you think police dogs are for? What an idiotic comment.

She deserves a full pardon.

The dog bit the fleeing perp and it required some stiches.

Suppose it had been a male officer, and instead of using a dog, he tackled the perp, and the perp's head banged on the sidewalk, requiring stitches.

Would you feel the same way, that the method of arrest should send the cop to prison for 10 years? If not, why?

The story doesn't give much detail, so maybe something is left out. But: two guys are breaking into a building through the roof. They run when police officers arrive. The officer sics a trained police dog on a fleeing suspect with the command to bite and hold. The perp is caught. He needs some stitches on his calf for the bite, but he's clearly guilty.

This gets turned into a criminal case against the police officer? And she gets 10 years? Why? What are police dogs for? Can't they be used? Maybe the officer should have just shot the fleeing suspect in the back. Heck, the typical first degree murder convict is out in seven.

This was in PG County, MD. What was the real offence? Policing while white?

"She thought siccing a dog on a

She did the crime and she did the time."

Maybe next time cops should just shoot the suspect first.
Being bit by a K9 is just sooooo
humiliating compared to be shot dead.

You think it is not appropriate to use non-lethal force to capture a fleeing felon?

[faucetman]

You need to watch LIVE PD. K9s attack and bite perps in almost every episode. Sometimes several perps. It’s my favorite part of the show!

I CHEER and laugh every time!

Sorry, ZERO sympathy for CRIMINALS!

Had my fill of bleeding heart liberals, especially those that claim to be conservatives.

LAW AND ORDER, ever heard of it?

[Carriage Hill]

Sounds like a good tactical move, to me.

[Osage Orange]

That was a bad / wrong thing to say...and you owe some FReepers an apology.

For real???
