that dog was an "officer"

 

[Pyroponce]

Innocent dogs die at the hands of SWAT all the time. How the tables have turned.

 

[IndyDave1776]

The article is ambiguous as to the nature of the charges of which the defendant was convicted. I would argue that he should not be held legally responsible for actions taken involving the dog outside the real of his consent or control. As far as i am concerned, this is no different than a situation of an officer confiscating a gun and then managing to shoot himself with it--the owner had no viable way to have prevented the incident.

 

[ddavidson]

Oh, he bit THAT bag.

 

[IndyDave1776]

Oh, he bit THAT bag.

Yes, there was no injury to future generations of the suspect's family!

Yes, police dogs are considered "officers" now. So even if that German Shepard who is clamping its jaws around your arm has the wrong guy, you better just sit there and let him cripple you.

That's a pretty dumb dog. I never seen a narco K-9 "sample" the product.

Sounds like bad training. The dog was shaking it like a toy.

 

[ghunter]

Yeah, what was up with that dog? They are usually trained to get a sniff of the dope, sit near it with nose pointing at it, and wait to be rewarded (usually they get to play with a tennis ball).

 

[rambone]

This is insane. He's getting 11 years in prison??

Sounds like a bad Handler to me...

Why are you surprised?

He pleaded guilty to several drug charges.

He is a DEMON obviously.

 

[indymike]

He wasn't charged for the dogs death. He got 11 years because he plead guilty to possession with the intent to distribute, distributing 500 grams or more of cocaine, and possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.

Actually, youre right, that was just changed, wasnt it? Guess Im just conditioned on some things.

 

[GLOCK1982]

Maybe the dog was an addict.

Yep, recently.

I had to think about it for a few seconds too, before posting it......and we all are as we get older.

Please don't tell me that I am the only one who sees a problem with the man being charged 3 different times for 3 different descriptions of the SAME offense.

I'm having a problem with it, because they didn't share any of the coke with me.
