Again, I'd like to see a statement written by the jogger saying he was bitten. Not the first time public service has lied to cover their butts.

Because a hand has to be torn completely apart before any damage can happen to the underlying tissue.
Pepper spray doesn't stop things that are already happening. If they would have sprayed the dog, A) They would have been effected by it as well, and B ) The dog still wouldn't have let go. Pepper spray is a deterrent, not a stopper.

Proves 2 things-- You don't use pepper spray in close environments, and B ) It doesn't stop an attacker.
If you had an animal latched on to your hand, what would you do?

Sasha, that is what I am trying to get at. Buying time for the SPCA to get there.

Again, you take the news article at face value for the size of the dog, so why not the jogger and the SPCA report?
Why are you cherry picking?
Contact the police department for the statement, as I really don't care that much about it.

I trust a picture more than what the police say an SPCA report says.
Of course you don't care. Police are never wrong in your eyes.

In this scenario, no. They followed the use of force continuum. How is that hard to understand?

Because there was no need to tase a dog and shoot it three times. That is animal abuse. I don't think there was a jogger, I think these were just two very stupid police officers who should be fired and arrested for animal abuse.

So tell me, Sasha.
We're not going to debate if they should have been there or not. Simply on force now. What would you have done if the dog was on YOUR hand?
If you had a 20lb latched on to your hand, chomping away, destroying tissue, you'd just chill there? Whack it once or twice, and when it refuses to get off, just wait for SPCA to show up to whack it some more?

They shouldn't have put themselves in tht situation in the first place.

Shake it off. I've rescued my pug from a dog bigger than a 20 pound jack-chihuahua mix. Neck in it's jaws. Strangely, I didn't have to shoot it, I didn't even really have to hurt it!

You do realize the officer said he couldn't shake the dog off, and it stayed latched on even after a few whacks, a taze, AND being shot twice?
I doubt you could just "shake him off", when it took THAT much force for the officer.

Maybe the officer is a pansy.

As I said. The officer shouldn't have put himself in that position to begin with. The dog wasn't activly attacking someone. He could have, and should have, called for animal control. If the dog did attack a jogger before, the officer knew that the dog was vicious. That wasn't a clue that maybe he should have called for someone trained in capturing animals?
