The poor dogs, they should not have been out in a situation like this
shows how horrible the mobs are, they get into a state where people, animals, property mean nothing to them

Sadly, they're no longer the 'Force', they're now the 'Service'. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?

It makes me so angry to hear about the police dogs and horses being attacked by these yobs (as well as the police men and women too). I just hope Obi makes a speedy and full recovery and that this attack doesn't hamper his ability to do his job in the future.

If so, how and when?

If not, how will the safety of those inside their homes be assured?

If you cannot assure their safety will you still be happy to use bullets?

If so, do you believe that collateral damage is an acceptable fallout from this choice?

I'm personally all for police using plastic bullets in situations like this and water cannon if and where possible.
