Arizona Cop Whips & Kicks Police Dog

[Liberal_in_LA]

After a few seconds, the officer pulls the leash, and the dog stays put near the door. The officer walks toward the dog and makes the leash into a whip and then hits the dog. The woman recording says, “Hey!” and then gasps as the officer appears to strike the dog a second time.

He then appears to kick the dog, as the woman exclaims, “He’s kicking that dog! What the hell!”

“At this point we are still investigating what occurred. Examining every aspect of this incident will take time and for this we thank the media and the community for their patience,” the Peoria Police Department said in a statement to KPHO-TV. In the meantime, we appreciate the concern the community has expressed for our K9 partners. Due to the fact we are in the midst of an internal investigation we are declining interviews with our officers for the moment.”

1. Well heck...

I wonder how he would treat a person he interprets as 'not complying'?

2. I have posted on here several

times that I don't think police should be allowed

to use (handle) dogs or horses.

I have never gotten a single reply.
