#1 It looks like the dog needs more training or removal from duty. Perhaps the handler as well.

#2 Reality intrudes...
From Columbine to the Iranian hostage rescue, forces that have not worked together in simulated event training will be poorly coordinated and a greater risk to the operation that the perp.

#3 Could be the handler is at fault or that the dog needs more training.

However, Morgan should have assumed that this dog, like other police dogs, was trained to hold but not harm if he didn't struggle. Hold but not harm is deeply, deeply ingrained during training - a first lesson and one that is reinforced continually and that operates at the instinctual vs. command level. Shooting the dog was way out of bounds, assuming he hadn't gone for the officer's throat.

A mess on several fronts it would appear.

#4 Maybe the dog knows more about these particular cops than we do. Low scores for everyone in the Works And Plays Well With Others.

#5 That dog sounds like a menace. Too bad the shot missed. I recommend more range time for officer Morgan.

#6 Use a knife. The dog's mouth is already frozen in place due to it holding onto you and the throat is there so why not use what's offered.

Knife is also silent so the bad guy can't tell what's going on and react to it.
