I was driving to work a couple of days ago and some motorcycle cops raced up and blocked the intersection. About 15 more motorcycle cops came through the intersection followed by about every kind of LE vehicle,... Chargers, Crown Vics, Taurus, Tahoes, Explorers, F-150s all with lights flashing. It was quite a sight and I knew it must be funeral for a law enforcement member and I had the news on the TV later that night and it showed a beautiful funeral with many flowers and cops everywhere. I was not really paying attention and the camera panned to the open casket... and I see a dog lying there!

Apparently the police dog did his duty pursuing a robber but was stabbed several times.

A law enforcement dog is considered a police officer. Gave his life to protect his master. Should be given the same consideration as a fallen officer. Do you get that? I sure don't have a problem with it. May he/she rest in peace. Those animals are highly trained and have saved many lives, I just wish there were more of them. They have also proved invaluable to our armed forces in wartime, loyal til death. Do not take their lives lightly, as they regard ours highly.

Then, a family pet should be considered a member of the family & should not be shot as a matter of course when the police do their no knock raids.
 
The loss of a good dog outshadows a whole lot of people I have been privy to.
I saw where there was a funeral for a service dog that had died in the line of duty and they had him amongst flowers that were on the pallet where he was lying. Impossible to not shed a tear at that sight.
 
I am very sorry for the police dog, RIP; I give all the credit for the police agency for having a funeral for the police dog. For all those who complain they have no idea the value of a K-9. I get so tired of the whiners here who complain about law enforcement. They wouldn't be whining if they needed help RIP -K9

I agree, but that's not what we're talking about here.

Oh wait, you're probably the type that "never needs law enforcement".

For what its worth, I DO consider people's pets members of the family. That said, when one bites me (which has happened a couple times) I take appropriate measures.

Very few officers EVER want to discharge a weapon, ESPECIALLY if it takes the life of a MAN or BEAST.

We don't shoot anybody or anything as "a matter of course". Give me a freaking break! We have to account for and explain every round we fire on duty. Quit cooking your meth and selling your dope and we will quit serving search warrants I guess. I don't know what else to tell you.
 
On the island of Guam, there is a really nice, well maintained cemetery dedicated to the military working dogs killed in action when the Marines made an amphibious assault and retook the Japanese held island. It was very satisfying to see how well their service was honored, they had to have earned great respect from their fellow Marines to be so honored.

I remember it well from my time on Guam:

You mean the dog guarding the crime being committed. Blame the drug dealer not the police for the dog's death.

By "you", are you referring to owen49, or to just to members of the public, in general, who don't happen to agree, without question, your way of thinking?

I quoted him and my comment was directed at him and anybody that thinks we just shoot dogs "as a matter of course".
 
He was one of ours, deserving of the highest respect and honor.

Some may be surprised to learn of our devotion to these fine animals. They are certainly devoted to us.

Sorry, my screen is blurry now.
