The injuries that people receive from these dogs can result in life-long scars and trauma," staff lawyer Douglas King said in a release. "It is time we asked ourselves just how necessary these practices are."
Then don't do anything that gives the dog a
reason to bite your sorry ass!
Next thing we know police officers will only be able to say "Stop!... or I'll say stop again..."
The guy in this story didn't do anything to give the dog a reason to bite him. The cop thought he had stolen a bike (turned out to be his). According to the cops own testimony, the victim was dismounting, but the cop rushed in with his dog and took this guy, who was offering no resistance, down. The dog bit him in the side. I bet you'd be pissed too if this happened to you. But then I guess you never ride a bike, so don't give the cop a reason to sick his dog on you. We've had people bitten who were just standing on the sidewalk while the cop was chasing someone else, but the dog went after them instead. But I guess just standing on the sidewalk is giving the dog a reason to bite you, and you never stand on the sidewalk so you'll be OK. If the cops can't control their dogs and have the dog only attack someone who represents a danger, then they shouldn't be using them.
