A Gainesville man was charged late Tuesday with interrupting a working police dog by commanding the dog to sit.

Mario Duane Porter, who will be 21 on Friday, was charged with striking a police animal (which includes interfering with a working police animal), disorderly conduct, possession of drug paraphernalia and refusing to sign a citation for violating the city's noise and window tint ordinances.

According to Blizzard's report, Porter "began stating loud commands to 'sit' and 'sitz,' which interrupted the K9 from his duties. The K9 stopped twice while walking the vehicle and looking in the direction of (Porter) who was giving those commands."

I always thought that police dogs were trained to listen to one person, their partner.

I thought they also trained them with foreign language commands.

Well, I'm not sure what command "Sitz" might be in whatever language, except it's not German.

The German command for telling a dog to sit is "Platz!"

Also, most of the K-9 units I'm aware of indicate that they've found drugs BY SITTING.  Mr. Porter is a ****in' DUmbass of the first order.

   I thought that meant the dog was taking a dump.

Interesting sound mimicry there, but no, that's not the intent.
