Hear that? That’s the collective rolling of the eyes of every purpose-bred dog owner in the world. Our dogs want to work. Without a job, they’re not happy. It’s actually insane that you’ve taken a post that makes a very valid point about the fucked up nature of the police and have somehow turned it into your beef about working dogs. The training police dogs undergo is animal abuse and it isn’t at all comparable to working dogs.There’s also been multiple studies showing that they’re terrible at detecting drugs (instead following the body movement of their handlers) and are used predominantly to intimidate and attack minorities, specifically poc.The fact you’re all leaping to make discourse about this is fucking yikes dude.police k-9s are abused into becoming weapons. Not ideologically, “i hate cops so i’m calling it abuse to put a poor innocent baby dog near a big mean cop.” I mean I’ve seen people train the dogs, i’ve heard k-9 trainers brag on themselves; the tactics they use both physically and mentally shut down the dog and turn the animal into an insecure and reactive animal. The dogs are taught to lose their self-preservation interest and they are there as a tool to put space between the suspect and the cop, even to be beaten and killed. (No, the big human pageantry we see when cops hold a funeral for one of their “fallen k-9 officers” doesn’t make up for or counteract this fact.)Also, using the animals on suspects inherently means that a person who has not been found guilty of a crime - anyone who’s POC, who “fits the description” - could be attacked by one of these dogs, injured and maimed, and THEN face charges if they tried to fight the dog off. -- source link
