State Troopers pulled Williams over for an “obscured license plate” Wednesday. Williams took off after handing a driver’s license to a trooper and a chase ensued.

At some point Williams alleged fired at pursuing officers and then fled into woods on foot. One of Williams’ gunshots allegedly hit K-9 Amor in the leg.

I used to have a pit that would do the same when we were out hunting antlers. He got two quills in the end of his nose, as a pup, when he fouln a porky under a log. It was on like Donkey Kong with him and porkies, thereafter. I kept an eye on him. I could tell when he smelled one because he’d keep tracking with one eye turned toward me. “Leash time!”

It’s the police that usually shoot dogs.

'taking DEI to the extreme'

Do you hear yourself?

In this context, that's a simpleminded statement.

The dogs are actually *skilled*, and used and valued FOR their skills. I don't think we're training them to shoot guns, or do stakeouts or traffic stops.

They are recognized and honored precisely FOR their value to their force - not because anyone thinks they're equal to humans. And the instinct to honor them by thinking of them symbolically as fellow officers is a beautiful idealistic human impulse.

Jeez. When you allow the radicals to make you so mad that you lose your own ability to think critically and put things in proper context, you're no smarter than they are.

Dad had a German Shepherd and a standard poodle that wandered away from their cabin in northern Michigan when they were on vacation.

After three days of searching the logging trails, they went into the tiny town of McKinley to have dinner.

When they walked into the restaurant, behind the bar were the two dogs. Both with skunk stench and the shepherd with porcupine quills......

They had wandered up to the bar that day, and the owner, who knew my parents, brought them in and took care of them, expecting my parents to come into town.

Parents had no phone service in their cabin back in the 1970's.....

The reason they have them as officers is so that criminals will be less likely to mess with them cause there will be additional charges. duh

Absolutely, the canine raised his right paw and barked affirmatively when administered the oath. You may not like it, or find it silly, but police canines are indeed considered as officers. Don’t believe it, go kick one and see what your charged with…once the pull officer dog off of you that is.

No. They called off the search. Then Captain (now Sheriff) Fabrizio said Odin seemed ready to continue, but c’mon!

I can believe it. The first time my pit really got it good...quills under the tongue, in his gums....the first thing he did at the vet’s office was stick his head in a mop bucket that reeked on disinfected, and take a drink. I’m amazed he never lost an eye. One night, (another attack...he just hated porkies...never quit hunting them)) I was playing with a night vision attachment on the camera, and Nemo grabbed a porky next to the logging road. He started doing the head-shake, mopping the ground with it. I grabbed for his neck, and found his choke chain was off. He was still swinging the porky back and forth, and then I thought he let go. I held him and made for the car. In the morning. i went back out there, and found his collar...it had slipped over his head while he was swinging the critter. What I thought was him letting go turned out to be when the mouthful of porky hide he was holding onto came off the porky. I was glad he hadn’t swung it into me. 1AM. Had to call the emergency vet. First time I’d dealt with him, but Nemo was a frequent flyer by then. He knocked him out, pulled the quills, and said I probably knew the drill, so they didn’t have to keep him for observation. Take him home, put him somewhere cool and dark where he can’t fall off, and wait for him to shake off the anesthesia.

So, you don’t understand the difference between symbol and reality?

My friendly, neighborhood AI states that according to Symbolic Realism, symbols can point to a deeper reality than the reality itself.

Think about the American Flag (Long may it wave).

Yeah...dogs. There was a local Basset Hound, Fred, that wandered a lot..Apparently the smell of a cafe/bar miles away was more than he could resist. He walked miles to get there. Owners had a tag on him, so they got a phone call. The first of many. “Fred’s here. Don’t worry about him.”

Jamestown 1630 claims that the K-9 IS an officer,
is that what you’re going with ?

“Does it matter?”
Well, can/should a citizen be legally charged with assault on a “police officer” if he kicks a K-9 ? (other than a judge’s ‘wink, wink’)

Secondary issue, does a law enforcement officer have LEGAL right to kill someone threatening an animal ?!???!

Since the K-9 was shot while the criminal was shooting at the officers, then the answer is yes.......Don't be stupid.

You are the one totally stupid as you equate shooting at officers as same as shooting at the K-9, idijt !

The K-9 is considered an honorary officer by many who work with them.

???

Do you really believe that’s why they may think of them as fellow officers?
