Down here in South Florida, there have been a several incidents where police dogs attacked the wrong person, somebody who wasn't involved at all.

Animals are unpredictable, and I believe there has to be a compelling reason to use them against a human being.

A 12-year old burglary suspect is simply not enough of a threat to sick a ferocious animal on.

And when animals do go out of control, the organization who is using them should be held responsible.

That's a different story.

Animals are unpredictable

Not nearly as bad or as dangerous as humans.

BTW, a 12 year old male silhouette in the dark can appear as a possible adult. If under similar circumstances if the suspect had been in a dark alley breaking into a bank at night, instead of a school, would you feel the same way?
