Police Dogs, better not run

Apparently there is a tradeoff. He latched onto an officer's hand there. The officer was screaming and spinning around like a windmill with the dog on his hand. He took his glove off and looked at his hand when the dog let go, then reprimanded the dog (which realized what it had done and dropped to it's belly, but still).
 
Err... :scrutiny:

They bite handlers. Perhaps I should have used a comma after the first sentence in my first reply for clarity, but I said "He latched onto an officer's hand there."
 
He's also a man and played it off like any of us would. If you tripped in a pothole and snapped your ankle you'd try to walk home if you could.

The entire weight of the dog was tearing his hand flesh when he spun the dog around--he's hurt, he's just not showing it.

In any case, I don't see this happening in America any time soon. Police dogs are very effective trained as they are. Wish there were more of them though.
 
It looks like the dog nailed the guy in the van also, he's supposed to offer the arm of the padded jacket, it looks like the dog got hold of his hand instead, you could tell by the guys voice he was getting hurt.

The dogs were aggressive, they are supposed to be, but they didn't release on command!!!!!
 
Yeah, was the guy in the van screaming for real or was he faking it for the dogs' sake? Sure sounded real to me... :what:
 
I thought thats what they would be but they do not look like any GS I have seen.
 
All the ones I have seen have always been VERY similar to the one in "Cautious approach". I wasn't aware they had such a range of colors.
 
No, those are Belgian Malinois, not German Shepherds... See: http://www.covepointbelgianmalinois.com/

They are very popular for K9 work in Europe. Neat dogs, very capable.

Uh, what do you mean, UberPhLuBB? There are plenty of police K9s trainned to do just what this video shows. Very fun to work with. :D
 
i don't trust police dogs.
Once released, they are free agents that have no moral compass.

They are not "nice doggies"

In Maryland, We had one that was released in a Silver Spring, building.
It mouthed open a closed door and attacked a sleeping woman.
 
Yup, Belgian Malinois Shepherd. A friend has one. She just turned
up at the gate and wouldn't leave (smart dog, she's a wonderful lady).
Poor thing had been terribly mistreated but she's improved tremendously. After seeing those jaws work on "indestructible" (big black kong) dog chew toys I would say that must have HURT.
 
Dogs trained for police work can be trained to bite all over the body. It's more common to see guard dogs trained to bite just the arms.
 
Weird

Yorec that site you posted is located about 15 miles by water from where I grew up yet I've never even heard of those dogs.
