Have you ever been bitten by a dog unprovoked? I have, on a tow call, ladies pitbull cross flew out of her house & grabbed my ass cheek & would not let go tore my pants all to shit.., never felt so much pain sitting down in my life.. same thing, I wasn't speaking of police dogs alone, I was talking all dogs, in the UK it may be different, but it does happen here in Canada/ U.S., I don't think police dogs should be banned, not at all, but everyone KNOWS how cops are & what they're capable of, they can train a dog to do whatever THEY want them to do, just like anyone else, which is just as dangerous, using dogs to sniff out drugs then fine, but no reason for letting a dog loose on someone for running because they don't feel like running, in my opinion would be excessive, I know there was 1 instance where people went crazy cause an HRP Officer shot someones dog, however, that cops partner drove the dog & owner to the vet, the dog survived, people will always note the bad before the good, especially with the police & how much they're hated in most places.
