Reply to comment by Butch1X1 in California Democrats want to ban police dogs from biting suspects by Crazy-News59

It's cruel and unusual, and is gross that I even have to tell people that being a suspect doesn't mean cops can openly shoot you or sic animals on you

If You run away from the cop, then I have some bad news for You.. You have to stop, otherwise the police will (have to) use some force.. If You lucky then it is not a deadly force aka. a very well trained police dog. That will only catch You and take to the ground, and until then cop gets there and take it off from You, You will have some time to philosophize about why that running was a bad idea. ( It’s survivable pain, personal experience..)

No. Cops do not have the right to use force like that. Please kindly stop promoting Fascist ideology with such gusto

I could tell the philosophical and legal background of it, from the roman law to Hobbes, but I don’t think it is necessary. It’s enough that the police use force at times as part of the social contract in which force is required to ensure peace.
