Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The dog is not a danger to anyone unless the attack command is given. That's the whole point of training them.
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.
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?
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.
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 bad to teach a dog not to attack people? Really?
No, teach them to only attack people when commanded. Unlike other dogs which could attack indiscriminately. I have no idea why you think an untrained dog is safer than a trained one. Do you know how many people are attacked by untrained dogs every year?
Did you teach your dogs to only be aggressive on command and to never show aggression otherwise? Because that's how police dogs are trained. Can you be certain your dogs would never get aggressive even in stressful circumstances? Because, again, that's how police dogs are trained.
I would bet your dogs are nowhere near as well-trained.
How do you know your dogs will never maul anyone? They have claws and sharp teeth. Unless you trained them to only let out aggression when they're commanded to, how can you possibly be assured they will never do that? Just because they've been good so far?
I do not tolerate insults. This is not Reddit. This is your only chance to stop insulting me before I block you.
