The dangerous thing about this is these people are supplying the future generation, a generation "hell bent" on saving the planet and changing history, not future history but past history they wish to hide from where they have come from . It is a form of justification for their actions today, a smokescreen!
A police dog has very serious training, should that dog have been wrong it will no longer be a police dog, it may not survive the vets needle! THE PERSON totally in the wrong, breaking rules of lockdown, aiding and abetting a criminal offence on more than 1 offence must have been doing something or attempting to against the dog. When a criminal attempts to hurt the police dog it is trained to defend itself or his handler should his handler be in danger. It is a stark and raw fact of life that HUMANS most of us love animals to bits .. a few do not … HOWEVER humans use animals to save human lives … police dogs .. mine field dogs … lead dogs … all are in danger as part of their job. Should a police dog go rogue it will attack anyone and everything around it?
Afraid my slant on it is "accept the consequences " personal choice break the law and suffer the outcome, no matter how bad.... basically self inflicted pain!
