Brickbat: A Bite Out of Crime

A Gainesville, Florida, police department report simply said that suspect Terrell Bradley fled on foot after officers stopped him for a traffic violation, a K-9 "apprehended him, and "officers observed injury to [Bradley] and EMS was immediately requested and responded. [Bradley] was transported via ambulance to the hospital." In fact, the dog mauled Bradley, ripping up a hand and pulling one of Bradley's eyes out of its socket. Officials are promising a full investigation of the arrest.

What is it about blacks fleeing or resisting directives from a LEO?
What is it about liberal press failing to inform readers of race when it comes to perps when they are blacks, but when it comes to perps being white, it is mentioned multiple times?
There is a reason Americans see the press as the enemy of the public. The dog did his job. Black dude had it coming for fleeing and knowing a canine was on his black ass.
I made $30k in just 5 weeks working part-time right from my apartment. When I lost my last business I got tired right away and luckily I found this job online and with that I am able to start reaping lots right through my house.

Nobody deserves to be mauled by an animal for panicking at a traffic stop.
I suppose you think it would be ok to shoot his “black ass”.
I think the same rules should apply to everyone, regardless of color.
Yatusabes is right though. It's this guy's own fault. (Just like George Floyd's death was his own fault.)
I without a doubt have made $18k inside a calendar month thru operating clean jobs from a laptop. As I had misplaced my ultimate business, I changed into so disenchanted and thank God I searched this easy task (veg-12) accomplishing this I'm equipped to reap thousand of bucks simply from my home. All of you could really be part of this pleasant task and will gather extra cash on-line

Is it ever acceptable to send a K9 after a felon fleeing arrest for illegal possession of a gun and drugs? Because that's what sounds like happened here.
No, cops can get off their fat asses and chase him.
They only run after donuts.
The article says he was stopped for a traffic violation, not "illegal possession of a gun and drugs". If he really was stopped just for the traffic violation, then the cops had to legally valid reason to suspect possession at the point that they sicced the dog on him.
Blacks not respecting their authoratah!
STOP FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION! OR WE'LL PULL YOUR EYE OUT!
Do you see why this sounds really really really wrong and stupid?
Nah of course not. Black people were involved and we know how they make any situation worse.
Except an unmade hotel bed. They are really good with those.
He was a felon in possession of an stolen gun.
Shall not be infringed.
Training a dog to attack humans is like waving a hair trigger gun around, finger resting on the trigger. You can pretend all you want that you've trained the animal perfectly but all you've done is allowed - no, encouraged - the thing to let its instinct to take over. Once you let it loose it's got the capacity to go without restraint after anything in its sight.

Our Public Schools?
Which is why you shouldn't run from the cops.
Trudat.

Stop pretending anyone is owed compassion, pleasantry and mercy in a country your ilk have purposed to annihilate religion. This country was founded for a moral and religious people. You can not have morality without religion. Take it up with George Washington and Samuel Adams.

Farewell Address, 19 September 1796
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men & citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man ought to respect & to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private & public felicity. Let it simply be asked where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure—reason & experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
In other words, we elites can behave ourselves properly without resorting to superstition, but the rabble need to fear God and Hell to keep them honest and in line.
That isn't at all what was written.
The last two sentences. It's there.

OTOH, if you can run circles around Blaise Pascal, Gregor Mendel, Robert Boyle, Antoine Lavoisier, Michael Faraday, James Maxwell, Georges Lemaître, Isaac Newton, John Dalton, Werner Heisenberg, and many many other ground breaking scientists Christians whom you likely have no fucken idea who they are, then maybe, just maybe, someone will GAF about your superstitions. Any other questions should be directed to Augustine of Hippo or Thomas Aquinas.
Your religion says it's okay to have your dog maul a guy and rip out his eyeball over a traffic stop?
My religion says it's a really bad idea to try and run from the police. But when you're a felon in illegal possession of a gun and drugs, maybe the risk is worth it. This dude took the gamble and it didn't work out so well for him, but my sympathy is limited when only logical consequences occur.
And go after trolls too but in your case, your 3" cock needs to be chopped off by said canine, spat (coughed up?) and given to a Trans with a clit who wants a johnson. Alas if canine feels your 3" member is a tease, you might be looking at a strap-on in your future.
Happy to help!
This country was founded for a moral and religious people.
Which - moral, or relgious? And after all the US was never in any sense a Christian nation.
You can not have morality without religion.
Flatly untrue. All religion does is provide a claimed external source of morality.
I'd love to chat about this in a thread *not* initiated by some dude who (whatever may be in his heart) sure sounds like he doesn't like black people.
You can not have morality without religion.
Flatly untrue. All religion does is provide a claimed external source of morality.
Not flatly untrue, conditionally untrue. You actually cannot have objective morality without religion, per your own precepts. There's a case to be made that all objective morality can only be interpreted subjectively, but that's no longer a centrally religious argument.
It can be argued that recognizing the truth that morality is a human invention and is NOT objective puts it on a more secure footing than founding it on the shifting sand of religious beliefs. Make moral judgements stand up to reasoned argument rather than just say "God will get you if you disobey!" That's how I was taught in Methodist Sunday School.
Officials are promising a full investigation of the arrest.
Procedures were followed.
Police dogs are not properly trained, except the ones on the bomb squad and those are trained by the Army. They don't fuck around with bomb training.
Their habit of attacking the face and neck is one of the things that makes German Shepherds one of the more dangerous breeds.
Yes, we need to start employing Tea Cup Yorkies for K-9 duty.
According to the Crazy Pit Bull Ladies, there are no dangerous breeds, just dangerous individual dogs, so, to them, a Teacup Yorkie can be just as formidable as German Shepherd.
Lends a lot of credence to the Crazy Pit Bull ladies when you know that the attacking of face and hands is neither universal and varies between dogs within breeds and is not exclusive to German Shepherds. Would you feel better if English Mastiffs were just "positionally asphyxiating" perps instead?
face and hands
Sorry, face and neck. Very important distinction given that, in 40,000 yrs. of human civiliaztion we haven't effectively trained humans to attack one and not the other and/or without killing people.
No, it's Chows that tend to go after hands and forearms. And children.

"He identified as pansniffual."
I see a business and bureaucratic opportunity: mandatory canine diversity training.
Lodging my complaint now, when the majority of police dogs are still tearing people's eyes out, black labs aren't really black the way rhodesian ridgebacks are black.
At least the cops didn't release the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you.
Would those be California fish bees? Do fish bees sting?
Good boy! Good dog!
Chris Rock on how not to get your ass kicked by the police.
Should be shown in the schools.
Didn't work for Philando Castile.
No worries. After being fired due to the media uproar the dog will be hired by the next town over.
Did the police report use three quotation marks or did Reason?
"Government agents responsible for mutilation of US citizen" would get the conservatives above to react differently - particularly if the citizen were white.
