I understand many police depts. are getting rid of their Belgian Malinois in favor of German Shepherds because the Malinois are too aggressive and will not let go.
As for unexplained how the dog got out..
Reminds me of the ‘I don’t know, it just went off by itself’ explanation of a AD gun incident.
Anyway, that’s one man that won’t need a Walmart job in a year or two.
The malinois are cool, mostly. Nothing wrong with them. What happened here is something that will have to be worked out, that team won’t be working anytime soon. Dog may be ill, someone may have been messing with the car and the door and upset it, any number of things.
Just a thougt: bringing a locked-up dog into a rage and then remotely popping the door is something one might expect certain activists to do.
Some years ago I managed to get a letter printed in the newspaper that is the source of this article, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, explaining that almost certainly, the shotgun that “went off” in the police evidence locker, wounding one or both of the cops present (can’t remember, I think it was one), almost certainly did not do so without help from one of the cops present. I also noted that the “accidental discharge” (a term I greatly dislike) discussed in their article was almost certainly better described as a “negligent discharge” (preferred term) and explained how LTC Cooper’s Four Rules of Firearms Safety were almost certainly violated.
I was pretty happy I got it printed.
Ban Malinois. They have locking jaws.
