Police K-9 Killed By AN Officer

Police K-9 Killed By AN Officer

Yes, I love dogs. They are nicer, loyal and certainly make our lives richer. Some dogs like Seeing Eye, helper or police K-9s have real jobs that they live to perform. I don’t know what went wrong here but I’m sure it was no small heartbreak for the handler of “Dago” today.

Here’s the sad tale of Dago from WLS-TV in Chicago.

I have my own wonder-dog, Gypsy. She’s a private eye K-9. No she she’s not a trained killer she’s just a wonderful friend.

well the cop was from CICERO. I dunno. Can the dog also sniff out the smell of corruptness?

As a proud owner of a GSD, my heart goes out to this Officer and his family of which I'm sure this dog was a part of. Is Charles Thomas pronouncing the dogs name correctly or is he just too P/C to pronounce it the way the handler wants it pronounced, who btw, is of Italian heritage? Dago? Does it have to be spelled D-A-Y-G-O for Thomas to get the intent of the Italian -American Officer?

Why is there such a fuss about this? The dog attacked the officer, he did what he had to. Should he have stood there and do nothing just because it's a police k9? It's a f***ed up situation but I don't blame the officer.

What's the fuss about?! The officer was treated and released. Where are the stitches and the broken bones. Why was the suspect not the one they wanted? But he was found in the location just where the countryside police officer was called. Did the cicero cop panic when he saw the K-9 and tried to cover this up and let this suspect go if he went along with his story??? Too many changes in the stories from the very beginning!!! Then you ask what the fuss is?????????

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

Gun vs. Knife

So you think because you carry and know how to use a gun that you will be able to protect yourself from a knife or cutting instrument attack with ease? For those people that think guns are more dangerous than knives, think again. More than 60% of all people shot with firearms even multiple times survive the attack. Cutting and stabbing victims don’t do nearly as well. Bullet wounds self-seal because of the elastic nature of human tissue. Knife cuts lay open and bleed profusely as the veins and arteries are opened wide. Then there are those laughably ignorant people (too many are politicians) who want cops or civilians confronted by knife wielding criminals to either shoot the knife out of someone’s hand or just shoot to wound. You’re about to see that such an effort will get you killed. Watch this video and you will see the knife can easily beat a gun in any contest.
