        Ehh, They’re natural predators. They’re training them with positive reinforcement to use their prey drive and enhanced senses to do their bidding through a reward system and pack mentality. That’s not far enough away from what they’re doing to cops in training to call them good bois.

        That said, they’re also not capable of making ethical decisions, so those treats and the dopamine hit from taking down a prey target is all they have to go on for decision-making.

        I’d say they’re less cops and more tools. That dog ripping into the arm of a scared young non-white man running for his life isn’t exactly a good boi, no is he being forced, but he doesn’t know it’s wrong.

          They are not using positive reinforcement, police are absolutely beating the shit out of their dogs and doing that disgusting alpha dog bullshit Caesar training.

            In the official training they do not. It’s actually less useful than making them feel like they are actually protecting and hunting.

            Many copy have been found guilty of it through.
