A Polk County deputy was forced to shoot and kill a fellow deputy’s police dog after it bit him and refused to let go, the sheriff’s office said Tuesday.

The deputy dog was trying to shout "Stop resisting! Stop resisting!", but his commands were unintelligible because he had a mouthful of hand.

Let me guess; They investigated themselves and determined they did nothing wrong.

You teach a dog to bite and they bite. Imagine that.

[reginaldthornton]

The funny thing about this is that if that dog clapped down a civilian and wouldn’t response to commands they’d just let the dog continue to bite.

“Unclear why he bit” You’re dealing with dogs that are not afraid to fight a grown man and the cop who was taking care of him has no relationship with the dog. Probably tried to pet him over the head and got bit. What do you expect

My first impression, if thedog accidentally bites a complaint assailant, they keep it, but the dog bites a cop by accident, they murder

[ajcarter]

“That man shot a deputy!! He should be in prison!!!”

[gooddaymba]

Now they know what dog bites feels like.

This is why I don’t let anyone else handle my dog.

It's obvious the dog didn't know the officer. He ( the dog) was doing his duty....attacking unknown persons coming to his home.

[ralphsmalls]

I believe police dogs should be use for search and finding weapons they shouldn't be allowed to attack humans because they can't decipher who is who and I've always thought this and this is proving my point.

Breaking news “professional” police dog handler can’t handle a police dog

[djbuttstuff]

Oh but if a regular citizen killed that dog they would of got the death penalty! Such BS

[richardscheirman]

One story up was a man charged with felony abuse for the same situation. Guess they are truly above the law.

[normmac]

Clearly this dog was trained very well... to sniff out the bad guy!! RIP Doggy!!

[kevinsheng]

😂😂 I think the dog sense bad corrupted cop decided to bite out of a crime

[hyperbolicathletes]

The problem isn’t the fact that it wasn’t the normal handler. The problem is that fact that the dog bit the prior suspect before and even with the normal handler, disobeyed commands and did not let go. What made them think the scenario would change when he’s bitting a cop

[thetravelgoods]

But let them clamp down on a suspect and they take their sweet time getting the dog off and NEVER shoot or even stun them 🙄

[craftycrafter]

These animals are trained to be aggressive. It isn’t their fault if they mistakenly do something, they are animals and act instinctively. I am not a fan of these dogs being trained to be like this. 😐

But if that dog bit a 10 year old kid he would still be on the job.
