| Description | The Utah state senator who said people should "stay home" if they don't want police dogs to bite them is apologizing for that comment.
Sen. Don Ipson (R-Washington County) made the following comment at a legislative hearing on Tuesday when discussing a new bill that would better govern K9s:
Don’t make it restrictive, let them [police] keep doing their job. We don't want to be restrictive, but I don't have a lot of sympathy, so, and we don't want to harm the public, but if they don't want to get bit, stay home.”
Ipson’s comments quickly got a lot of attention and later in the day he backtracked, saying, “It didn't come across the way I meant it, and to the world, I apologize for that, that was wrong.” |
