      Yes, and would only do so if the attack command is given. That’s the point. They don’t train police dogs to just attack whenever they feel like it.

        Which is very dangerous. The dog presents an absolute threat. It’s dangerous to give a child a loaded gun even if you tell them not to pull the trigger

          It’s not dangerous at all. Dogs are not children. The dog will never attack anyone unless it’s commanded to. The only danger would be a human commanding it to do so. How is that the dog’s fault?

            Because the dog attacked someone. They listened to someone telling them to try and kill someone. If a dog can so easily be told to do that they present a real danger to people

              Yet again, the dog will not attack UNLESS it is commanded to by a human.

              If no one ever commands the dog to attack, it will never attack anyone. It is safer than plenty of dogs who have never had any training and attack people because of it.

                It’s dangerous because it can be commanded. We should not have a dog anywhere near people that would attack on command. That’s insane to want to allow that somewhere.

                  There are tons and tons of dogs who attack without being commanded to and you want to kill the dog that knows through extensive training not to attack people. That’s ludicrous.

                    It’s even worse if they learned it through extensive training. The dog shouldn’t be put down but the “person” who trained it should be
