The Police Have Blood On Their Hands Again...

What? No, no, not the latest ebike Darwin Award winner.
Police officers are investigating an horrific dog attack in Garlinge where one pet was killed, another seriously injured and a man suffered injuries to his hand which may result in amputation of at least one finger.

Yes. We all know the breed by now.  

“The attack was about eight minutes and then there were people trying to get the dog off of Nick. I arrived when it was all finishing. Nick is now in East Grinstead hospital having his hand reconstructed and it looks like he will lose at least one finger.
“His wife is absolutely distraught. It is the second attack by the same dog. Last month it attacked an Alsatian pup badly breaking its leg.”

And did the police take action then? Reader, what do you think? 

Laura Sullivan, from the Missing Dogs and Strays Thanet group, was also a witness to the attack. She said: “The aftermath was truly devastating. Little Bella had no chance, she’s a little toothless terrier and thank god that the owner and neighbour’s quick action with Woody meant less harm to him.
“This dog was the dog from the attack on Alfie the German Shepherd pup whose leg we still don’t know can be saved.
“The police have everyone’s details, CCTV has picked up the 8 minute attack and for now our dogs in Garlinge are safe as the dog was taken under police advice via Dog Warden.”

In other words, they can't possibly ignore this attack like the other.  

Kent Police are appealing for CCTV or dashcam footage to help with the investigation.

Though it looks like they are going to try...

A problem exacerbated by poor anticipation on the part of our legislators and compounded by fatuous eagerness on the part of plod, to get into motorised chase mode.
