Well, even if they haven't it's still a issue. Dogs are unclean to Muslims in the same

The over reaction isn't justified tho as police dogs wear shoes for a variety of reasons;
adding one more is no biggie if it keeps everyone happy. The police have a bad enough
job trying to keep good PR as it is.

You know the more I look at this story the more suspicous it looks.

Remember the phoney story about the poor dad arrested by the 'PC mad' police for accidently giving his son an alcopop instead of lemonade, only it was nothing to do with the UK at all?

Well keep that in mind and then consider this:

Ref:80/08 July 7, 2008
ACPO statement on use of police dogs
Peter Vaughan, Deputy Chief Constable of South Wales police and ACPO lead on police dogs said:

“Contrary to media reports, ACPO guidelines currently being drawn up on the use of police dogs do not require or request police forces to use boots when police dogs are being used within Muslim buildings. There is in fact neither any reference to the use of boots in the draft guidelines, nor to any specific faith or community.

“Instead, the draft guidelines outline a general principle that police forces should consider what steps can be taken to avoid offending people during operations. This might include different categories of people such as those with a fear of dogs, for example, or asthma sufferers who may be sensitive to dog hair.

“However while the police will take cultural sensitivities into account, in all operations effective policing will take primacy.

“The guidelines are expected to be completed by the end of the year.”

The entire story is hogwash!

Now why would someone want to spin this very minor story into yet another 'PC madness' story? :hmm:

Of course if muslims could actually stay this side of civilised behaviour they wouldn't find sniffer dogs in their homes.

Hmmm, could it be that certain sections of the UK media (well the conservative bits.....Daily Mail anyone?) are going hell bent to print spurious, often half true or even practically fabricated stories of how bad the world/society/the country is now, how 'PC Madness' is running rampant, how immigrants are taking all the jobs and get given everything free on the taxpayer etc etc blah blah blah.........all to induce a degree of fear in society therefore making people more receptive to a right-wing political agenda? :hmm:

I find police culturally unacceptable. I think they should be sensitive to my needs and not come in my house. I don't want them near my car either.

:nope: Crazy. Just crazy...:-?
