The House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a war powers resolution aimed at ending unauthorized U.S. military involvement in Iran, marking the most significant congressional challenge yet to President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict.

The measure, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) invokes the 1973 War Powers Resolution and would require the administration to obtain explicit authorization from Congress before continuing hostilities against Iran, except in cases involving an imminent threat to the United States. The vote followed months of growing bipartisan concern over a conflict that began in.

Legislation introduced in the California General Assembly last week seeks to eliminate several commonly used law enforcement practices in a move that

As reported by Police 1, California Assembly Bill 742 seeks to ban the usage of police canines for arrests and crowd control.

The complete list of banned action outlined in the bills are the following:

  • The use of K-9s for arrests, apprehension or crowd control
  • No LEOs using an unleashed K-9 to arrest or apprehend a person, and
  • No K-9s will be used in any circumstance to bite.

President of the Western States Police Canine Association and retired Modesto, CA PD lieutenant told KCRA.com that the bill “makes no sense.”

“It’s a tool and it’s something that, if we take it away, you’re just eliminating one more non-lethal weapon for law enforcement,” Cloward said.

The use of police canines would not be banned “for purposes of search and rescue, explosives detection and narcotics detection that do not involve biting.”

Canines are commonly used by law enforcement agencies across the country in their daily work on patrol, as well as in special security protocol situations.

Nationally renowned weekly police show Live PD which was taken off air after the anti-police movements took center stage in the U.S. and has now returned as “On-Patrol: Live” often shows canines working hand-in-hand with their human counterparts. Check out a compilation of Live PD’s Top K-9 chases below:

    I GUARANTEE the dog is more “humane” than using other means to subdue someone resisting arrest.

      That is correct, The best she could do is Secretary of State, just ask Mr Kissinger

    If you fire the canine police officers, you will have more circumstances under which officers must shoot to kill.

    The legislature a tions don’t make sense? Consider the following. Killer AI Robots are incompatible with trained Police Canines. California Leftsts want Human Police Persons and canines replaced by “AI Killer robots”. Leftists believe the AI Robots will never make mistakes.
    Research it…

    About damn time! This is one of VERY few things kommiefornia does right! Police animal use equals animal ABUSE and pigs should not be allowed to use dogs in any unconstitutional way (99% of what pig dogs do is unconstitutional and george washington himself would shoot the dogs and the pigs abusing them)!!!!!! IF YOU ARE TOO FAT AND LAZY FROM EATING DONUTS ON TAX PAYER MONEY EVERY DAY YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO FORCE SOME POOR DOG TO TAKE THE RISKS YOUR FAT ASSES REFUSE TO!!!!!
