Some of these comments are so ignorant. Why aren’t people protesting for the little kids getting shot by stray bullets in the low income neighborhoods. This thinking are not gonna get any change. Behavior makes change. Can’t wait until bail reform comes. Rikers island will be full. Yay

Neighbors said that the owners of these dogs never walked them in a leash. It’s the law to keep your dog in a leash. I blame the owners of these dogs. They failed to keep them in a safe home. I feel bad for these dogs. May the officer he bit look in the mirror every day and remember this dog for the rest of his life. Do not adopt or buy a pet if you are unable to protect them and keep them in a safe home.
