LAPD & CHP chase suspect in stolen pickup truck, pursuit ends in K-9 takedown

Are you for or against the use of K-9?

Skip to minutes 9-10 for sound.

I don't mind to be honest. I also don't think it's animal abuse.

Those dogs are perfect for the job.

Killing a K-9 in California is punishable by state prison terms of 2, 3, or 4 years plus a $ 10k fine. I feel that isn't enough. Other states have harsher penalties.

I think the use of a K-9 really depends on the situation. In this case, there was no real danger for the dog.

Right, but seemed a bit unnecessary.

You never know, though. He could have tried to run. It looked to me like someone on crack.

That penalty is a joke. 10 years plus is needed here.
