It's been my experience that cops can do just about anything they want to
and get away with it. Personally, I see nothing wrong with that tactic,
and I'm not overly fond of the police...

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Henry Ritter had no plans of biting a suspect he
was
chasing, but he saw nothing wrong with barking.

Ritter and Richard Gough, both deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff's
Department, stopped a car July 12 because of a broken taillight. The
driver,
21-year-old John Nicholas Hood, jumped from the car and ran into the
woods,
according to the arrest report.

The officers' calls to Hood went unanswered so Gough said they were
sending a
dog after him. Ritter started barking.

``He stood up and said, 'I'm here. Call off the dog,''' Ritter said.
