Clerk Then Makes Suspect Clean Up His Own Blood
quote:
While they waited for police and paramedics, Mothershead gave the man a roll of power towels,
sprayed the floor with cleaner and told him to clean up his own blood.
In the UK he'd be charged with assault...
I like his style....getting the idiot to walk into his reach. Hes good.

And here's a satisfying batman-style baton 'THWACK' from our friends in the Swedish police! Dog handlers don't like it much when
you swing an axe at one of their babies!

PS - As I understand it, the dog was uninjured.
The Belgian Malinois hit quite hard - Ps nice thwack

I do wonder what the outcome would be if a big tough man responded to the dog's approach by attacking it, no holds barred? The man would get hurt, but so would the dog, I suspect. I'm sure that many of these dogs win their battles because the man goes into 'victim mode'.
About 30+ years ago a friend of mine was coming home from work on a building site when he saw a pair of dobermans lining up to attack a child. He waded in and kicked the dogs with his big builders boots - one in the chest (broken ribs) and one in the nuts. Both dogs needed veterinary treatment. When the dogs' owner complained to the police they informed him that he (the owner) was to be charged for not keeping dangerous dogs under control. (I don't know what happened to the dogs in the end...)

i have played the role of the 'goon' during a training/public display. I wore the full sleeve gauntlet on my right arm, as all UK police
dogs are right arm trained, meaning they only go for the right arm. I then had to run off and keep running, the dog soon caught me up and and within
seconds i was on the ground and being dragged along the floor. I dont think i could have attacked the dog if i wanted to. I am 5'11" and
14 stone.
There is a big difference between a trained police dog and a couple of unfriendly guard dogs.

I the truth be told... I'd rather not fight any dog! Even a Jack Russell can be a nasty little s*d when roused (they're convinced that they're rottweillers, and nothing will convince them otherwise!)
That's what I was told by the dog handler as he was strapping the gauntlet to my arm although it was 13 years ago.
Dogs have an "instinct" for attacking "prey". The average human is a larger, slower target than the dog and will generally think about what to do before doing it, even if it is the basic decision of "flight or fight". The dog already knows that it is attacking and which body part it is going for. They also get a bit of the red-mist as can be seen in the length of time it takes some of the handlers to get the dogs to release (Although I'm sure that if it was a real criminal and the dog was enjoying themselves it would be a shame to break it up too soon!)

No he would not!
I have Labrador retrievers, and as friendly as they are there have been a few times where I caught them unaware.
When they drop low (ready to leap) ears back and teeth bared while barking. its made me stop and think.
I wrestle with my dogs all the time, and it is clear that even though I can command and overpower them, its only because they let me.
That reminds me my brother has a Staff... another Staffie attacked him and locked on.. My brother almost broke his hand punching the **** out of that dog, and his one was bounding about like his normal self (only with half his face flapping about) on the way to the vets... Yeah they can be right tough nuts
