Admittedly I know nothing about how a K-9 police dog is trained.....I would think they would train them not to attack police officers?
His trainer is dressed in the same uniform, is he not ?
The dog keep attacking the officer even after they tazed him, then they had to shoot the dog...
Maybe the dog just doesn't like cops.
“... I would think they would train them not to attack police officers?”
I know a K-9 officer in my county and this is what he told me. When a dog is “on duty” and “working”... he has to be handled by the trainer at all times. In fact, the radio will announce to the officers on a scene that k-9 is out of the car. He said you will see cops jump right back into their cars. Apparently, K-9 dogs cannot distinguish between law enforcement and other civilians (who may be wearing uniforms). Dogs see in black and white and apparently to distinguish between a cop’s uniform and someone else’s is difficult if not impossible. From what he told me, a K-9 dog accidentally biting another officer is not uncommon. They are supposedly trained to ball up and the handler is suppose to give the command to release.
