Cop Owns Dog With Taser *Video*

This Officer does a great job fighting off this hostile dog. But would you have gone for your gun in this situation instead of the taser like in the video?

I think the cover officer used the Taser in this case (from what I could see). Looks like the guy who was getting attacked used his gun.

Personally, I like dogs a lot more than I like their owners... And dogs usually aren't attacking me just because I'm a cop (typically it has more to do with the fact that they have been abused and mistreated by a shithead owner). I don't mean to sound ultra-liberal on the dog subject, but I would be far more inclined to go Less-Lethal on a dog. And Tasers seem to have great results on muscular dogs (ie Pit Bulls and the like). I got one on the nose with a SAP one time (a pissed off Rottie)... took the fight right out of him.

Still, plenty of cases where lethal is the better option in my mind (Like: dog attacking someone else, a child maybe; or you're down when the dog hits you, etc).

kinda surprised at how quickly the dog got back on his feet... I take it that wasnt an animal taser... at least he changed his mind about fighting and turned around just as quickly...

I agree. When dogs are treated with respect and love that's what they'll give back. However, when they're treated poorly it can be a tragedy in the making!

I couldn't agree more.

I know this is going to sound fuct-up, but I would loose more sleep over shooting a dog than a human if it came down to it. I'd do what I had to in either case, but I would feel bad about the dog.

I understand what you're saying. If dogs caused lethal force they didn't know any better. If a human were to, they obviously knew better...

Another great training video provided by the Cocoa Police Department.
