Dog bites cop(s)

Old article, not sure if it was posted ;)


A musician suspected of being a violent kidnapper has been charged under the Dangerous Dogs Act today after five police officers were allegedly mauled by his dog during a raid.
Pierre Robinson, 25, will appear in court this afternoon accused of 'allowing the dog to be dangerously out of control' outside a house in Albert Square, east London.
He is also accused of kidnapping and GBH with intent, relating to an incident on March 14 in Newham, police said.
Five policemen were in hospital last night after being savaged by the animal, and were said to have ‘life-changing’ wounds as serious as those seen after a shootout.
One officer had his arm broken between the animal’s jaws, while others had chunks of flesh torn from their legs and arms. Some will require plastic surgery, and one could lose several fingers.

I'm surprised it took them so long to shoot him.

It wasn't on a leash.

I have a hard time understanding why the first cop getting bit, with the dog hanging on his arm, couldn't have gotten the thing under control. It doesn't look like he is doing anything to put a stop to the attack, allowing the dog to have its way with him. Maybe my expectations of the outcome are not realistic, but it sure seems like it could have been much different if the cop had gone on the offensive, such as taking the dog by the throat with his other hand and throwing and holding it up against the wall upright so that its legs weren't on the ground.
