Play dead!

Good doggie.

It's not the dogs, it's the owners. What a dickweed.

"Torres ordered his dog to attack and police were forced to kill it, Barakos said."

I think you can be charged with attempted murder for doing that. I guess the guy will find out soon enough.

Check out these police dogs. Bite me. (They may be French, but they kick some serious butt.)

A police dog quickly caught him, Barakos said.

Wow. How ironic.

Meanwhile, I wonder if this weenie is going to be charged for assault with a deadly assault dog?

Except for that silly thing called a search warrant."Police entered the house over the objections of its occupant, Torres, who refused to come to the door. When officers kicked it down, Torres ordered his dog to attack and police were forced to kill it, Barakos said" I read nothing in the article that the cops had a search warrant for this guy.

Should have read..."Police kill owner and dog after owner calls for attack"....

I got no love for the perps but something seems to be missing from the article. If the primary perp was caught by the police dog out-of-doors then what did the other guy's house have to do with it? Did the cops have a warrant to search it? The article doesn't give any indication.

Maggot owners! They get the dog to do their dirty work, and get killed for them too.

Don't flame me...I know not all dogs are nice, but I also know it's usually the owners that can take them from marginal to brutal. Then, the whole dog world gets a bum rap.

I know of an incident where an errant doctor tried to kill a K-9. Another officer shot and killed the errant doctor.

The outcome was that it was justifiable.
