The security guard was a young African-American man, and the dog was a muzzled German Shepherd. The two of them were alone, looking across the train platform. A couple of tough archetypes.
The German Shepherd leaned it's fettered snout over and nudged the Guard. He looked down, and the dog looked up at him.
The Guard brought his hand up behind the dog's ear, the still puppy-soft part, and ran his fingers through the dog's fur. The German Shepherd leaned in more, allowing the Guard better access to his coat.
The Guard smiled a little, leaned over just an inch or two, and spoke to the dog.
I was so disarmed by this unexpected moment of tenderness, that I had to look away.

Yes, and Hitler loved his dogs too. (sorry Godwin) The last thing we need is glorification of the police state. What is your point?
Eh...I'm not sure how this was a glorification of a police state.
I just noticed something sweet from a a place I did not expect.
I think the relationship between working animals and their handlers is so cool. A drug/bomb/godonlyknowswhat sniffer and his TSA guy were at the airport once while I was getting baggage. They were in the midst of some business. I smiled at the dog, not wanting to interrupt her work, but the TSA guy's face opened up like a daisy and laughed when he saw me watching and said, "I know. We have the best job ever."
I love our police state.
Hmmm..
