[You Gotta Be Kidding Me]

"The assault was toward a canine officer," Judge Mary Spicer said. "An officer is an officer, whether they have two legs or whether they have four legs."

That is assinine. The "officer" (dog) should then be charged with excessive force for biting the man's head. A dog is a dog is a dog. Calling a dog an officer, but not holding the dog responsible for its own behavior is a double standard.

I know what you are trying to say....but that dog was being responsible. The article does not state whether the man was threatening in anyway towards the officers. If he was, then that is exactly what the dog is trained to do. The dog would doing his job. I can't believe the dog would of bit the guy for no reason. He must of been resisting or something.
