Seems the police want to have it both ways WRT their K9s. They want them designated as police officers so that if anybody hurts or kills them, they face the same punishment as a perp who hurts or kills a human police officer.

Then, when the dog tears up a perp, they want the dog to be considered a dog.

If a human police officer tore off a perp’s scrotum because he was resisting arrest, would a lawsuit be in order? Maybe.

I say this woman will win her case, if it’s pleaded properly.

The woman will not win her case, and the kid put himself in the predicament that caused the events that led to his injury and no one else. The police dog reacted to watching his handler on the ground fighting with the kid. If you have a dog, I am sure you would want your dog to do the same. And yes with police dogs, they can have it both ways. The dogs put themselves at risk everyday to protect citizens like you, and if they are killed by a perp, the criminal should face sever punishment but not death because it is still an animal. Any dog will react to their master being attacked. There is a reason they are called mans best friend.

We disagree! On just about everything.
