Supermark, you are making yourself look bad.

Have you ever watched what a police canine can do? That is an animal who's instincts have been trained DOWN. They aren't trained in how to take someone down, that is instict, but they are trained to control it and to just hold on when they have you down, rather than going for your face or throat or belly. K9s are a lot more mellow than your average house dog.

I would say that you should spend some time in the dummy suit as part of K9 training. And remember that the dog that is using you as a tackling dummy is a trained professional who is conditioned to not kill. The typical dog that attacks is untrained and is unconditioned, there is no "slow", there is no "stop", there is no "wait for the command to take them down", there is simply "kill". Kill at all costs, no stopping, no slowing, no waiting, that is how canines attack. It isn't going to pull you down and go back to it's handler, an "amature" is going to pull you down and try to tear out your throat.

I think you need to spend some time around dogs, and I don't mean the inbreed show pooches that are smaller than my cat. A single feral dog (ie, domesticate but no longer living with humans) can cripple a cow or horse in a few minutes, and they can run faster than we humans can, kick a lot harder and are a lot thicker skinned. Ignoring that fact is living in a dream world.

As for not carring what the statistics say, you obviously are ignorant of the fact that stats reflect the behaviors of a system or process. You can use them to bend the truth, true, but you can't lie with them.
