EUGENE, Ore. — A Eugene man fighting a home intruder to defend his mother and young children was bitten by a police dog after officers mistook him for the prowler they had been chasing through the neighborhood. Tim Crossan told The Register-Guard he broke his hand on the intruder's face during the fight, just before police burst in and sent the dog after him.

The 39-year-old father of three told the Eugene newspaper the dog bit through his left calf before clamping down on his thigh and then his left buttock.

I thought that the police need to give 3-warnings before sending a dog in? Especially if there were small kids in the house.

I think I'd prefer tasering to a half assed dog bite.
