Shouldn't the HANDLER be responsible though?

Kinda sorta reminds ME of MY stupid move; when I FIRST met Riggs while he was in his Crate, up on Michelle's Tailgate!!
Oh brother...........THAT was a stupid, careless mistake. Good thing his crate was latched!!

I don't think I would try that with any of the police dogs I've met from our local PD and most of them are awesome, friendly dogs.

While -- yes -- the dog was giving signs...the signs it gave indicate, to me, it's not the ideal dog for police dog. It does not take a special dog NOT to react poorly to that. All the dogs I've had... anyone could do that, too. My friend's schutzhund GSD... you can do that to. If a dog is used to be touched, petted, hugged, etc. that should not be an issue. Here, the dog was NOT doing what it was trained to do (god, I hope they aren't training it to do THAT). No command was given. The officer was conversing calmly with the guy. The dog bit because it was insecure. Good police dogs are NOT insecure.
The reporter isn't stupid. He asked the officer. The officer said yes. The reporter wasn't paying attention to the dog obviously--which was a stupid thing to do in that situation...obviously--but doing a stupid thing does not a stupid person make
The responsibility rests with the police officer handler entirely.
