Orlando police dog mangled arm of 12-year-old burglary suspect

An Orlando Police Department dog mangled the arm of a 12-year-old burglary suspect during an arrest last week, sending the boy to the hospital for three days and adding to ongoing concern over whether deploying dogs on juveniles constitutes excessive force.

The OPD incident report from June 4 states the boy had pried open portable classrooms at Shingle Creek Elementary School and started running after officers told him to stop.

But two other minors, also charged in the burglary, saw the whole thing and said the injured boy had already dropped to his knees in compliance when the dog lunged at him, family members said.

If a dog was not under positive control, then it shouldn’t be used in law enforcement.

If the dog was under positive control, then the officer shouldn’t be employed in law enforcement.

If he can’t tell the difference, he shouldn’t venture too far from parking enforcement.

Agreed.

Is he one of those 6-foot tall 12-year olds?

The dog has been taken off of street duty and reassigned to a desk job until a thorough investigation of the matter can be completed.

So you accept the accomplices’ statements as bonafide fact? That’s interesting.

Sadly, you are probably correct (dead by 18). And most likely at the hands of his “peers.” Sigh.

No, I’m accepting the description of his arm as “mangled” and the required 3 days in the hospital as fact.

Is it still interesting?

While my comment sort of fit, it was actually intended for someone else on another thead. Hence my follow-up post.

Again, sorry.

The little punk is lucky he doesn’t live in a country that would chop off that arm for such crimes. Or chop it off neck high. The lesson here is don’t steal, kiddo. Learn it.

It’s worse to lose your conscience towards God than to lose your property.
