What a pathetic headline!

Police not shooting as many dogs

We are supposed to be thankful for THAT?

...and warned her that Milwaukee police were about to search her home for endangered reptiles.

If somebody had reported that she was keeping illegal aliens in her home, the fuzz would have just yawned and hung up. I get tired of this phony baloney BS. "Endangered reptiles" my @$$.

WOOOF!

teach officers to recognize when dogs’ actions are nonthreatening

This begs the question; how stupid are the people Milwaukee is hiring to be cops?

Tibetan mastiffs.

I'm not surprised she sued. These dogs go for a couple thousand apiece. Their fur is like cashmere. Amazing dogs.

thanks in part to training

and probably attrition.

[MasterGunner01]

It take special training for Milwaukee cops NOT to shoot dogs? What am I missing here?

[smokingfrog]

Some dogs just beg to be shot.

[woofie]

Perhaps some day the police will graduate to petting the dogs or offering them treats

I worked as a courier for two years. During that time I was confronted by at least a dozen dogs. When a dog rushed at me barking I would freeze. In almost every case the dogs advanced only so far and then stopped. In one or two cases, when I was menaced further, the owner appeared to call the dogs back. I was unarmed but escaped all of these incidents unscathed. An armed policeman would probably have killed 3 or 4 of these dogs.

[TigersEye]

How do they train them? Shock collars?

[wastoute]

Hate to say it but my dogs are my alarm. They get shot I know it is time to shoot.

[bamahead]

Not sure whether to be thankful or to cry...
