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.

"I can't believe the dog would of bit the guy for no reason."

Actually, police dogs go berserk quite often. They attack innocent bystanders and even human police officers. They are animals that have been trained to attack. If a police dog goes berserk and kills someone, will it be destroyed? I doubt it. He's "an officer and a gentleman", after all. If I were the defense attorney, I would have called Fido to the stand and questioned him. When he just barked instead of answering my questions, I would then ask the judge to hold Fido in contempt of court.

If a dog can be a cop then some cops can, indeed, be pigs.

Excuse me, didn't the article say he had a gun? If he intended to hurt the dog, he could have SHOT him. Why do some people make excuses for police abuses?

Whether you believe it or not, police are not your friends.
Don't believe it? Let someone make a charge against you and you'll be in "'cuffs". That's their job. If a superior says to go out and arrest someone, they Have to assume the superior is correct in issuing that order and, like robots, they must follow those orders. You would then have to prove your innocence, therefore, "innocent until proven guilty" is a joke and, in reality, is only a legal term to be used in a court of law.

FYI, I am a law abiding citizen of the first order, however, I see a trend developing in this country that is scary and that is that 60% of you are willing to trade your liberty for so--called security.

Oops, my tin foil hat sliiped again.
