Virginia GOPer: We Could Have Stopped The Baltimore Riots With Attack Dogs

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/05/06/virginia-goper-we-could-have-stopped-the-baltimore-riots-with-attack-dogs/

It’s not just their politics, some Republican politicians seem as if they’re still living in the 1950s.

Take, for instance, Virginia state Del. Hyland “Buddy” Fowler Jr.’s eye-brow raising suggestion on how to stop racial unrest: Sic dogs on them.

In a Facebook post captured by Blue Virginia, Fowler shared a picture of a heavily armored police officer with a dog bearing its teeth with the caption “Go ahead and run. He likes fast food.” Fowler added his own comment: “I wonder if a few of these would help bring calm to Baltimore?”

The picture had originally appeared on the page of pro-law enforcement website PoliceOne.com, a group of retired and active police officers that serves as a sort of informal police officer defense machine.
