Police Dog Accused Of Racial Profiling

MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. -- A police dog is accused of racial profiling.

The 5-year-old German shepherd named Dolpho is the lone police dog in McKees Rocks.

Dolpho can tell the difference between marijuana, heroin and cocaine. But a borough councilwoman said the dog targets blacks and should be put to death.

Dolpho made a mistake last week. While a K-9 officer wrestled with a drug suspect, a button on his belt inadvertently opened a door to the K-9 wagon. The dog bolted out and bit a 9-year-old boy on the leg, and not the suspect. The boy is black.

Police said the dog became confused because there was a lot of noise and yelling.

The incident was brought up during a council meeting Monday. No decision was made about Dolpho's fate.

Police Dog Accused Of Racial Profiling

If this headline alone doesn't convince Americans that we are in a PC spiral towards Hell, nothing will.

I think that the only thing that should be put to death is this councilwoman; it would be a cleansing of the gene pool. That a MORON like this holds any position in the world, is beyond me (though, it kind of make sense that she is a member of the US government...pretty much par for the course).

P.S. I nominate this title for "The Stupidest Headline Award".

Then someone came into the room dressed in a Mexican sombrero and carrying a cane.

There's something about dogs and hats. My Albert goes bonkers, usually barking, at anyone, including myself, in a hat.

I think most dogs are aware that any stick (cane) can be a weapon.

Did anybody check and determine if the child may have been wearing clothing contaminated with the various illegal drugs? This would have drawn the dog to the child, and the child's guilt or innocence is not the question. The possible traces of illegal drugs are. The dog goes after what he knows, and the racial heritage of the child is a matter of indifference to the dog.

Somebody should do a series about this sort of thing: When liberal causes collide. Sort of leftie "Celebrity Death Match."

The animal rights and AIDs activists are usually at each other. The AIDs people want to kill all the animals, chimps, etc as necesary to cure/vacine AIDs.

I think that NOW has hurt many of its causes due to their mental/verbal gymnastics defending the slick one.

What no mention of the councilwomans name? I'm thinking a black democRAT, but hey, that's just me.

[crystalk]

What color WAS the dog?

Apparently, Dolpho slept through the sensaaahhhttivity training session.

It's a 'Burgh Ping Thing.

[Legion]

Ok...what did the dog know and when did he know it?

[mattdono]

I did some searching. Here is all I found...

Mc Kees Rocks Boro Secretary
340 Bell Ave
Mc Kees Rocks, PA 15136-3514
Phone: 412-331-2498

Maybe we could call and ask for this woman to be put to sleep?

[Jim Pelosi]

Can you blame the dog? If almost every bust the dog makes involves blacks, what is the dog going to think about blacks? I also bet the nine year old had drug residue on his clothes, probably from his crack smoking mom. Let's kill the dog instead.

I'm not a vet, but I always heard that dogs were color blind. Can anyone verify this?

[Tennessee_Bob]

Destroy the dog? That's seems pretty harsh for a first time offense.

Let's do the liberal thing - send him to mandatory race sensitivity training, and if it happens again, we'll force him into retirement.

Sadie sez, "Pick ME!" . . .

"They'll be spinning so much, they'll corkscrew right into the ground!"
"While you're down there,borough councilwoman, sniff this!"

[TomGuy]

Ed Boortz is talking about this now on his radio show -- WSB AM. He's laughing----!!! How insenssssitive!!!

LOL

[mattdono]

Ed Boortz? You mean Neal Boortz?

Of course not. That would come under the category of "Hey, that makes sense."

Accused racial profiling? Death sentance. Seems plenty reasonable. I can't wait until they make the leap from dogs to humans.

[kellynla]

BUMP. Dogs are indeed color blind. They cannot distinguish colors. PERIOD

[100%FEDUP]

Has the dog been to diversity training?
...sensitivity training?

Well then the dog must be a racist!

What really sickens me is that the dog will probably be put to sleep for no reason other than doing what he was trained to do. K-9's are not trained to bite in the manner of a wild animal, but to subdue a person.

Looks like the filthy liberal left is gonna win another battle in the war of social engineering!
