RIP Diesel, The Good And Noble Police Dog Killed During Police Raid On Paris Terrorists
10 years ago

A police dog was killed this morning during a raid targeting the suspected “masterminds” of the deadly Paris attacks that took the lives of 129 people last Friday.

Diesel, a seven-year-old Belgian Shepherd, was killed at some point during the seven-hour raid on an apartment in the suburbs of Paris.

From USA Today:

The seven-year-old Belgian Shepherd was killed sometime during the seven-hour siege on an apartment in the Paris suburb of Saint Denis; French police tweeted on Wednesday.

The raid ended Wednesday with the arrest of seven people with suspected links to the Paris attacks. Two suspects, including a female suicide bomber who detonated explosives as police entered the apartment, were killed.

It was not clear whether Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, a Belgian national, was in the apartment in Saint Denis at the time or what his link to the operation was. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said phone data and eyewitness statements led police to the apartment as part of the manhunt for Abaaoud.

On social media, people shared pictures of Diesel and tweeted about the dog’s service. Many used the hashtag #Jesuisunchien, which translates to “I am a dog” in English and some tweeted that #NotAllHeroesAreHuman. The hashtag #RIPDiesel was used almost 3,000 times after the dog’s death was announced, according to the social analytics site Topsy.

This tweet translates to: “Assault and explosives search dogs are indispensable in the missions of the operators of the raid.”

Fucking cowards. Blowing themselves up in fear of facing justice for the heinous crimes they were responsible for. Pathetic.

This one hit me pretty close to home as the proud owner of a German Shepherd — the best dogs on this goddamn planet. Fucking hell, man. This world has some shitty people in it. May the good people of France show absolutely no mercy on Daesh and eliminate these scumbags once and for all.

    I’m normally all for treating enemy combatants in accordance with the standards set by the Geneva Convention but these God-damned heathens deserve to exclusively breath nerve gas until the last of them has shit out their spine.

      The Geneva Convention rules were set to govern a conventional war. These fuckheads are not playing by any rules so why should any country dealing with them. Time to take off the kid gloves and go total scorched earth. I have always loved the movie “Swordfish” and the line about how John Travolta’s character wants to make any act of terrorism against the United States so unbearable for anyone that nobody will even think about it. Yeah, let’s do that.
