After reading extensive Dave Barry articles and books I would like to say,"only in Florida"...but since Florida has the highest population of seniors in the nation what are the chances of a youth services officer getting bitten by a police dog?
Police were searching for a burglary suspect in a wooded area when a police dog suddenly bit the youth officer in the crotch. The dogs are trained for a single powerful bite and can do considerable damage in seconds. The dogs are accepted into the program for their intensity and when the are actively working a scene their focus is on an objective and any distraction can become a target. They are trained for a full mouth bite (at 1,100 pounds pressure per square inch) and hold until they are told to release.
This may be in bad taste after the bombing in Boston yesterday,but that has never stopped me before. This story is an example of how anything can become a weapon,whether in the right or wrong hands,and a quick fix such as tighter gun control laws is not going to solve the war on terror,either foreign or domestic.
