There is more law enforcement footage available to the public today than at any point in history. Some people watch that footage and assume that they are seeing a representative picture of police work. Those people are usually wrong.
An overwhelming majority of the law enforcement footage available to the public does not represent the day-to-day reality of law enforcement. Reality tends to skew heavily toward the boring (and often depressing), not the exciting and adrenaline-filled.
Movie plot-lines? They happen. But not always. Not even close.
When was the last time you saw video of a police dog in action?
Did they get the suspect? Was there a lot of shouting? An excited dog getting praised for biting the bad guy?
Have you ever seen a K9 deployment that went like this?
Which do you think happens more often?
