Yep. They told him to put his hands up.
He did.
They told him to stand up. You try standing up from a sofa without putting your hands down.
Of course, if he put his hands down they would have claimed he was reaching for a weapon, and given the empty sheath on the coffee table it would have gone down as another in an endless series of righteous shoots.
I think you are right about that. I do not think that I could get up from a reclining position without using my hands. I am getting old, you know, I am not as fit as I used to be.
And I can see where they might say oh you put your hands down i thought you were reaching for something, then BANG!
I further can’t understand the dog’s role there. Do they mean to tell me that there was no other way to resolve that situation without sending in an attack dog?
I mean, I support police using dogs in certain instances, sure, but I don’t know why one was used then... guy wasn’t even doing anything or being any sort of threat, and that dog ate his face pretty good.
I do defend police when i think police need to be defended, but I don’t defend those police in that instance. That was outrageous.
Guy burns a Christmas tree and gets a German Shepherd to the face.
I love German Shepherds, but I do not want one attached to my face unless they are just licking me!
