Sue I am just going to stop posting because you always take the words right off of my fingertips here.

I saw a video the other day where a police K9 was shot and imo if the dog had not hesitated for a few seconds but had been more aggressive he would have not been shot. He ran up to the bad guy, stopped and looked back and then was shot. Had he went straight for the bite he would have been ok. Why did he do this? In my opinion he was equipment trained and all the noise and confusion was not clear headed.
He needed more field training and IMO some agitation work as being more civil might have saved his life and that of the bad guy who was then shot.
This is my opinion and you are welcome to insert yours.................

Alrighty, if this is the video of the Malinois shot during a standoff between the police and the suspect, your points are off base. Other options were available other then sending the K9. No K9 should be knowingly offered up as cannon fodder. If this is the same video that was discussed on this board a few weeks back, someone said the K9 was killed by friendly fire. The K9 was deployed to conclude the standoff. Not because of forward aggression from the suspect.
"some agitation work as being more civil might have saved his life "
When a suspect is standing holding a gun this is a passive aggressive posture. This is completely different and very difficult to train. This is not an equipment issue. This is a matter of teaching the dog to grip suspects who are not moving. Which is contradictory to a dog trained to hold and bark. If the dog did not grip immediately or hesitated for whatever reason it is a problem with senario based training.

I am not going to second guess an officier having to make decisions under fire period.
I agree and stated the dog needed more training under stress or scenerio based training. Where are all the mal people who brag on how fast to the bite the mals are?
I don't think their is much doubt that if the dog had been more civil and hardened he would have bitten quicker.
