'Racist' LA police dogs only bite Latinos and African-Americans

[Guest nra37922]

'Police officers in Los Angeles have long faced accusations of institutional racism, but now it appears their dogs may be unjustly discriminatory, too.

A new report focusing on the Canine Special Detail of the LA Sherriff’s Department (LASD) has uncovered a vast increase in the number of minority individuals bitten by police dogs since 2004.

 

....During the 1980s, some Los Angeles police officers would allegedly refer to black youths as “dog biscuits”.'

This is just way too funny to even comment on...

I found this odd as well, since an overwhelming majority of violent crime, gang activity and drug dealing in Los Angeles County is committed by white people; one would think there wouldn't be such a disproportionate amount of bites on minorities. Strange.

I know one place in DC where I wish there were a few of those LA police dogs.

Had a single ounce of common sense been used in the writing of this article, there would be no article.

I agree with tripleDigitRide.

Omitting the fact that a significant percentage of the dog handlers are Hispanic was intentional. If the dogs are taught to be aggressive towards Mexicans why don't they attack the handler? Must be wearing some kinda cracker cloak or something. Edited October 13, 2013 by TMF

Really? I was just watching a show on Discovery or the History Channel a few days ago that said there were a couple hundred black gangs in LA. 

 

Not saying you're wrong because I have no idea, but it contradicts everything in the show.

To say nothing of the Mexican and Asian gangs

Has anyone given consideration that maybe just maybe the dogs prefer dark meat more than white meat?.............Just a thought......... :ugh: :ugh: :2cents:   Also since the Latino and Mexican populations have exploded between 2004 and 2012  but about 11 million of which about 5 million are in california and it only added 5 more bites to the count. I think the averages have improved dramatically...........jmho
