What I don't understand is why in the first place, a taser or stun gun was not used to subdue the criminal before releasing K9 Jedi to take down the criminal?! I cried my eyes out. Jedi could have been still alive.

I hope Officer Jedi is resting in peace.

God bless the thankless work these police officers and police dogs do every day, helping some ungrateful residents in Seattle perform there normal lives. I would like to know where i can send money to help establish a fund for new K-9 police dog. There is nothing better and more respected than Police officer and there K-9 dog

Jedi's death is a blow to all who support the police.
Watched the video released by SPD, Jedi not only did his job but continued even after being wounded.
God bless Jedi and his handler whose attempt to help Jedi ended in his being wounded.

I wanted to express my condolences to Jedi's partner and to all of the officers at the South Precinct and the SPD.
There is nothing that I can say to ease the pain you all feel at this time but I would like to express my appreciation for the work you all do.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a Law Enforcement K-9 family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. Amen.

I'm so sorry for the loss of this beautiful dog. I also feel equally, if not more for his handle/owner. The bond between man and his dog is incredibly strong. Praying for this man and his family. Glad that bastard is dead. Hope he struggled with his last breath. Jodi you're an angel. RIP.
