(16,838 posts)It's just sickening. I think the only time the police should use dogs is if they're searching for a missing person or an escaped convict. K9 units are used much too often these days.

(9,146 posts)The orders, all within 3 seconds:
Get on the ground!
Dont move!
Turn over!
Which of the three conflicting orders should he comply with? All while a dog is being ORDERED (the only attack on command) to take chunks out of his leg.

Then it's "Good boy! Good boy!" from the cop.
Followed by more "Don't move!" commands.
I couldn't finish watching it. I'm relieved that the cop was sentenced to jail!
Of course, "Officer Spike" (or whatever the name of the dog) can't face any repercussions because it's just a dog when these things happen. If killed by someone acting in self-defense, however, the dog is treated like a human cop.

The never ending condescending orders makes it even more sickening. "You understand!?"
Piece of shit!
