  1. You can’t outrun a dog, it has four-wheel drive versus two for a human being (or is that ‘hupeople being’?).

  2. Because of the damage he caused – headlight, oil pan, fender, and probably fender and alignment – I really hope that was his own car, and not one stolen from a poor schlub who has to pay for repairs.
    And, yes, “Good boy!”

  3. “Now he’s fighting with Officers….” While the dog still had his right arm, the second Officer started a series of left hooks, at least 6. Maybe he deserved it but the voice from the chopper was inaccurate.

  4. The curb, and then a tree.
    He sucks at turning but also, not really good at keeping a straight line.

  5. I’ve seen a couple of police takdowns utilizing a dog. In one of them the dog was biting everyone in sight. I jumped into my pickup just in case he decided I was a target.
    In another in LA The cop sent the dog into a car that they suspected might have a occupant who refused to get out. Couldn’t see what was going on but you could sure hear buddy once the dog got there.

  6. The dog’s speed blew me away.
    Based on this guys driving and the fact his legs were pumping twice as fast as he was running, he had to have been high on something.

  7. Rodney King! A canine Rodney King! Can’t we all just get along ? That’s RAyyycyssst POleece BRUTALITY !! [sarc. off]
    Say … this just gave me a GREAT IDEA!! Forget the WALL, President Trump. Instead, let’s breed THOUSANDS of SUPER-dogs! genetically-programmed, bred, and trained to TAKE DOWN every single walker coming across our border. Put up an electronic fence, so Rover won’t go into Meh-he-ko … but will swarm every interloper who come to our side of the line. Remote controlled dogs. And just let them KILL the Illegals. Chew them to death. Wanna bet that would STOP the illegals … immediately?!
    I have always interpreted the “wall” as a metaphor for SECURING our BORDER(s)
    And then … we can use the Navy’s trained Dolphins to do the same along our aqua-borders! We HAVE the technology.

  8. Which begs the question … WHY … can’t we use attack dogs to take down active shooters? Train the dogs to ATTACK the sound of gunfire ? They have better “instincts” than the average pension-seeker in this Sheriff Dept. We can outfit them with bulletproof vests … just like the cowardly Sheriff-Dept.-pension-collectors.

  9. I haven’t watched one for a long while, but I always used to chortle at those scenes where the bad guy is being chased by the dog – bad guy keeps looking back and the dog’s no closer.
    Wrong. If you can SEE the dog he’s got you!

  10. Friend’s son is on the canine patrol. His dog is huge and looks real mean, only responds to his police master. My buddy always cringes when his son brings the dog to his house.

  11. When the pooch is twice as fast, and twice as smart as the bad guy…
    Showed this video to my Labrador, he just shook his head and rolled his eyes.

  12. Apparently the dog lost a of its teeth in the take down when its jaw hit the asphalt. In the hospital now.

  13. I have been around dogs enough, including police dogs, to know that they are not robots. When they get excited, they don’t listen very well. Even the top Schutzhund dogs ignore their handlers under extreme conditions.
    So keep out of the way or you will feel their bite along with the perp.
    In the video the K9 handler was either slow to call off the dog, or the dog was choosing not to hear him. Bit of bad luck for the perp!

  14. “Just for fun”… great title Kate.
    Thoroughly enjoyed it and wished it wasn’t cut short!

  15. Many decades ago, being a soldier on the border with West Germany at that time they, had the border dogs. Gigantic german shepherds. Massive things.
    Hmm… they would always tell us that the set up was to keep the kapitalists out when everybody and their mothers would know, not only think or pretend, that it was to keep the socialists in.
    The dogs would only listen to the handlers, these guys were just everyday soldiers that were drafted for 26 months.
    Once they let them chase, the chasee would be as close to the end of his life as you can imagine. If a dog caught somebody the dog was pretty much on his own, nobody could stop him. Usually they could save the victim with much difficulty.
    The dog handlers often trained the dogs to go after the officers hats. As you can imagine, the officers would never hang around the dogs, which pleased the handler soldiers a great deal.

  16. They could have stayed in their cars and followed him up the hill while he wore himself out. Of course, if they’d done that they wouldn’t have gotten a chance to assault him while he was pinned to the ground by the dog.
