    Yes, the person should be charged with a crime for what he did, but the dog was just following its training as a police dog. They’re supposed to do what the handler tells them to do. It’s not the dogs fault; it did exactly what it was supposed to do had the situation called for the dog to attack.

      Then I suppose the trainer is an accomplice in the crime.

      What would you do with the dog then? Send it to a farm? It’s trained to attack humans. We don’t let a dog like that live in the city.

        It sounds like you just have a problem with concept of police dogs in general. That’s fine, but it’s a separate discussion.

        Police dogs retire all the time. Assuming this highly trained animal goes to a cartaker who doesn’t know or issue the commands, that dog is harmless as any other, arguably more so
