I can't get over the fact that he has not been banned from having dogs again. Even if you accept the state of his mental health as an excuse, this alone, means that he is not suitable as a dog handler, dog owner or a police officer of any kind.
Mind, I was suprised that it even came to court, they must have had no alternative given the public outcry.
