In Ontario they were firing at a dog in an apartment and the bullets were going into neighbouring units.Caveathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712858257904194590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536020437295001618.post-48918595171115964422008-11-20T11:37:00.000-05:002008-11-20T11:37:00.000-05:00In Calgary Alberta, AC goes in before the police t...In Calgary Alberta, AC goes in before the police to contain any dogs. It works really well.<BR/><BR/>They haven't used a catchpole in over 8years, haven't had a bite in these situations either.<BR/><BR/>They could use a net, ie, something that would 'shoot' a net over an overexcited dog. I would rather they did that with distraught people instead of tasers, too.<BR/><BR/>You know 'Get the net!'Caveathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712858257904194590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536020437295001618.post-20352104406763945612008-11-19T14:54:00.000-05:002008-11-19T14:54:00.000-05:00I see that story is from 1998.

Apparently ten years is not enough time for a "learning experience" to have any effect.<BR/><BR/>I just wonder how come they couldn't use some of their RNC demonstrator tactics against dogs they feel threatened by - why do they have to shoot them? It seems so reckless.YesBiscuit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13827466504671715047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536020437295001618.post-11903805783959794962008-11-19T12:48:00.000-05:002008-11-19T12:48:00.000-05:00The police are afraid of dogs and are not trained ...The police are afraid of dogs and are not trained to deal with them or interpret a dog's body language.<BR/><BR/>Couple that with their aggressive confrontational style and they will alarm even the most laid-back family pet. Let's just say they don't tap gently on the front door and that their body language is designed to intimidate.<BR/><BR/>The ricochet thing has already happened, by the way.<Caveathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712858257904194590noreply@blogger.com
