And there are countless other actual police dogs hurt or killed by violent offenders.
Sending actual dogs in to snoop out bad guys, who then shoot the police dog, sadly happens. Send in a robot with a rocket launcher, the bad guy is like oh fuck this bad guy nonsense, and the robot dog just has to recharge batteries.
- smogcutter 3y agoAgreed, police should stop using dogs to escalate violent confrontations!

- justinclift 3y ago> who then shoot the police dog What would you expect them to do? Play fetch with it?
- jjtheblunt 3y agoI think, despite the humor fail, you have an accidental point, because the police dogs DO fetch unarmed hidden offenders.
- justinclift 3y agoExactly. So the bad guys will treat those dogs as they would any other threat. Liable to go badly for the dogs when the bad guys are armed.
- RecycledEle 3y agoIf you want to know how much the courts value you as a person, remember that if a cop's dog kills you there will be no criminal charges. If you kill a cop's dog, you will face the death penalty.
