Police dog bites teen armed robbery suspect

Good dog!

so if the gun is no loaded is it still considered armed robbery?

yes, as there is no way to determine if the gun is loaded while the crime is taking place, but as usual the attorneys will reach a plea bargain because it was not loaded.

Dog should have bit him in the assss. Good work puppy!

Doez boyz needs to rob a store to get enough cash to buy bullets. But where dey gonna buy bullets? Ah yes, the drug dealer on the corner where all the hoods are standing around! Dey got bullets, or dey get dem for me.

u can be charged with armed robbery even if a toy gun is used.

Give that dog a biscuit!

How proud their parents must feel, huh?

I will bet that the parents of these two clowns are very proud. This may send a message to other thugs that if the dog is sent in that they will experience real pain. Some money hungry attorney will go after a plea deal. These two should be made an example of, and their parents too. GOOD DOG!

I am going to take a stab at this but I assume that getting a job would have been less painful and more rewarding?

THE 13 YEAR OLD CAN NOW BE PROUD AND SHOW HIS BITES AT THE JUVENILE CENTER.

How sad for Campbell to again be in the news!

I believe you can be charged with armed robbery for having your hand in a coat pocket, and using your finger to indicate that you have a gun.

The comments on this post are more pathetic than the juvies who committed this crime! You are talking about young adults 13 -16 years old. They are still children!

FiftheAve,
Are they young adults or children?

When I was 13, I knew right from wrong. And, I knew that pointing the business end of a gun at somebody and taking things that did not belong to me was wrong. This is not a crime of opportunity like shoplifting or a snatch and run. This was a planned, violent act and the perps need to be treated as violent criminals. Segregate them from the adult jail population until they are tried and convicted, but then, all things are off.

Funny, but I can honestly say that at that point of my life, I was more in fear of the punishment in home than what would happen with the police. That is the problem with today's "family".

"They are still children!"

You have to be joking. They had a .357, robbed a pharmacy and resisted arrest by running. Is this the action of any 13 and 16 year old in your eyes? You can't be that naive. A 13/16 year old should be playing in Roosevelt Park, not armed robbery. Unreal.

Oh, forgot, Good Doggie.....

If this happened in Youngstown, Police Chief Jimmy Hughes would have fired the dog ! Is this boy's mama gonna sue the city of Campbell ? I'm sure Dave Betras would take a dogbite case .

Article says the little innocent child had the gun. Could have switched I suppose. Wonder how child like it would have seemed to fifthave if the gun was loaded and the poor little guy would have killed a relative of his/hers. Not so much I bet.

Time to get Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson involved, as the dog MUST have been racially motivated to bite the boys.

I worked with a woman in Akron, when the police arrived at about 9:30am. They told her that her boyfriend that just dropped her off for work 30 minutes earlier had been shot and killed because he tried to rob a bank courier with a pellet gun. The courier shot him 3 times in the chest.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I wonder if the parents are mad because the kids did the crime or because they got caught?

The old cliche, 'the apple does not fall far from the tree" may apply.

It is past mid-month and the parents of the boys could have used the money and or drugs . It is a sad and depressing time for them .

What a piece,..

This is no bad news on Campbell and in fact those patrolmen are to be commended.

At those ages they knew better and needed to be taught a good lesson about infringing upon society.

That being that not all are soft and the only thing I'd like to ask the patrolmen privately. Is why in the hell did they only let the K9 get small bites.

The brutal honesty of it is I'd have let the K9 exercise a little more defiance. That's a rare instance where taking some bites out of crime was warranted and the patrolman interceded.

I don't care who that candid honesty angers and I'm not one for playing to the popularity of partiality.

Now I say lets see if we can't get Campbell a couple more K9's. Because both of those little savages should have gotten bitten up.

@ FifthAve

Save it,..

They know better than that and they got less than they deserved. There's no defense for armed robbery or any other infringement on a person or place of business.

The truth of the matter is by manner and posture you need to hope they learned a lesson and be thankful they're not dead.

I love people and I'm really inclined to reaching out to the youth. But to try to tolerate or defend acts like that is beyond absurd.

The difference is via my approach they know I demand discipline. Where via your approach their next step would be to kill or be killed.

If you truly love them " Teach them " don't try making excuses for their intolerable acts of defiance.

How in the Hell can anyone protect, love and defend them. If they so willfully act in such indefensible manners?

If either were my son's I'd sincerely thank the officers for not killing them. Then their silly @zz's would be in huge trouble with ME,.. Man to BOY !!!

If the parents had done their job, these two clowns would not be in trouble today. That's right,-- THE PARENTS. What wonderful role models they must have been. If the courts go easy on these two thugs now, they will see them again and again and again. And again I say---good dog!

NilesOhio....
Just curious, are you suggesting that you know the race of the juvenile delinquents?

janitspace - No, I don't. The odds are very high that they are from a particular "race."
