Martin Luther King, Jr.’s inspiring encounter with a German Shepherd police dog will move you
They are two awesomely inspiring photographs – Martin Luther King, Jr. and his moving encounter with the police dog that was supposed to intimidate the Atlanta civil rights icon.
It was June 12, 1964. Dr. King had been arrested in St. Augustine, Florida after testifying before a grand jury investigating racial unrest in the city. King and the SCLC were ordered to leave the city for one month.
Martin Luther King, Jr. is placed in a police car with a German Shepherd police dog in June 1964.
At 4:00 a.m., according to Associated Press photo archives, King was placed in the back seat of a police car. And with him, a German Shepherd police dog. While intended to intimidate Dr. King, the dog instead lowered his ears, softened his eyes and appears to lean on King. Many observers said it appeared the pair “became fast friends.”
With a focus on civil and human rights, Dr. King was never known for shepherding animal rights. But his love and compassion for all life likely charted a specific course for his family.
Coretta Scott King, Dr. King’s widow, would continue working with other civil rights icons, including Ralph David Abernathy, who is seen standing outside the police car in the second photo. Mrs. King began advocating for animal rights and would become a vegetarian. King’s second son, Dexter, became a vegan in the late 1980’s, according to published reports. Both were driven by the notion that animals shouldn’t be harmed.
“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members,” Mrs. King once said.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.

Pit bulls: The Black male of the dog world
August 9, 2019 Horace Holloman 3 Comments BSL, Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
One day I decided to take my two pit bulls Cashmere and Julio Jones Holloman for a walk and explore a new park in Stockbridge.
Within five minutes of arrival, I was met by the park resource officer who informed me I was not in the “dog friendly” section of the park. “No big deal,” I thought. As I was leaving, the resource officer said, “What are you doing with those types of dogs in a public place anyway? Walking with those dogs is like walking with a loaded gun.”
The officer, who happened to be a Black male, said he believed pit bulls are dangerous dogs not meant for public exposure. His comments weren’t surprising.
While walking my dogs in public parks or neighborhoods, I’ve seen people immediately cross the street, scream, tell their children to run and one woman even hit Julio with a walking stick.
After regaining my composure, I told the officer he should reconsider his position on the breed because it’s hard to ignore the correlation between a pit bull and Black male in America, starting with the high incarceration rate.
According to a national survey on drug use and health, Blacks and Whites use drugs at similar rates, but the imprisonment rate of Blacks for drug charges is almost six times that of Whites.
The “incarceration” rate for pit bulls in local shelters are quite drastic. Each year, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized, approximately 40 percent are pit bulls, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Shelter advocates also say shelters are consistently overcrowded with pit bull mixes.
Black men are also negatively impacted by legislation such as “stop and frisk” laws. In New York City since 2014, Black and Latino males between the ages of 14 and 24 account for only 5 percent of the city’s population, compared with 38 percent of reported stops. Young Black and Latino males were innocent 80 percent of the time.
Comparatively, breed specific legislation (BSL), a law or ordinance that prohibits or restricts the keeping of dogs of specific breeds, negatively impacts pit bulls, pit bull-type dogs and responsible pit bull owners. The laws don’t take into account the individual dog’s history and temperament. By generalizing the behaviors of dogs that look a certain way, innocent dogs and pet owners suffer. BSL can lead to the euthanasia of innocent dogs that fit a certain look. A study from the Animal Farm Foundation showed communities with BSL do not reduce dog bites in communities or enhance public safety.
After a 10-minute conversation, the resource officer apologized for calling my dogs “loaded guns,” and said he walked away with a better understanding for the breed.
For me, owning pit bulls, which I’ve done my entire adult life, is more than just getting a dog that looks “cool.” I choose to own pit bulls because we have a special understanding– an understanding that sometimes we will be judged by others based on how we look. Despite this, we’ll work together to dispel any notion that we’re walking loaded guns–one person at a time.

Comparing the plight of the black man to a fukking dog, have some shame
No I'm showing what I've been saying. Don't blame the breed blame the owners and their deedsSo you're trotting the token dreh out
You can't separate pit bull prejudice from racial prejudice
Iwas very disappointed with Dan Rodricks' column on pit bulls ("Pit bulls: Own them at your risk," May 1). Here are some facts.
•All large dogs are potentially dangerous. They have large jaws and muscles that have the inherent possibly to doing people harm.
Any animal that is subject to abuse is potentially dangerous.
•If not abused, or trained to be violent, pit bulls are no more potentially dangerous than any other big dog. Notions of mythic pit bull "lock jaw" have been scientifically debunked, and before their recently role as public enemy No. 1 they were family pets in England.
Those who speak of innate pit bull violence are thus showing a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of all domesticated dogs, any of which can turn violent under the right (or in this case, wrong) circumstances.
But it also shows something else. In Baltimore, like many other places, pit bulls are associated with dog fighting and black, urban violence. To say otherwise is dishonest, and the fact that pit bulls are singled out when bigger more powerful dogs like Rottweilers are not to me is clear evidences that some sort of bias is in play. Using the well documented notion of institutional racial bias in the legal system, this implicates the court's claim that pit bulls are "inherently violent."
Empirical data shows the race of the defendant has an impact on judicial rulings, creating harsher judgments and sentences, and if the owner of the pit bull is black, as overwhelming anecdotal evidence would indicate, then the legal system would view the nature of the pit bull attacks quite differently than they view other incidents. Over time, it seems that "pit bull' has becomes a synonym for "black" and thus a similar bias seems to be at play here.
As a black person raised in Baltimore, pit bulls were a central part of the social fabric of my life. The best dog I ever had was a pit bull, and he was the sweetest thing I have ever met. I am confident that if you were to ask the vast majority of pit bull owners in this city, they will tell you the same thing. For black folks like me who grew up with them, we love them because when we were born into a violent world not of our choosing, they protected us, with violence when necessary, but more often they showed the love that let us know they would only use that so called "innate" potential for violence in extreme circumstances.
