Police dog bites unarmed man

[Blaster]

Dog attacked man after he stole a semi truck.

Body cam footage shows police dog biting unarmed Black man

“The video is clear,” a civil rights attorney said. “These men aren’t protecting the public or enforcing the law. They’re attacking an unarmed Black man for no reason and they’re enjoying it.”

Why?
How dumb are cops? Don’t they realize they are on video?

These cases repeatedly happen
They are in complete control, the guy isn’t resisting

Still they use excessive force

I have no sympathy for that man. He is lucky he only received a few bites.

 

[Blaster]

Time for a coffee break.

I hope the dog is ok.

 

[Vastator]

Probably had to lick his own ass for an hour to get the taste out of his mouth...

 

[Blaster]

I hope the dog is ok.

I hope they don't charge the dog with an unprovoked attack. He's a hero.

As someone who has raised and trained dogs for just this purpose, I agree. The fact that the criminal wasn't armed is meaningless, after all, the dog was not armed either. I had a dog that brought a suspect down after tracking him from a violent carjacking and assault. The idiot had a weapon and aimed it at the dog. The dog left him with several stitches and a broken arm. The dog followed his commands and backed off when commanded to do so.
The suspect's lawyer tried to have the dog put down, he did achieve banning the dog from the rez, but he wasn't put down. The crook did some time but was let out. He later was caught again for robbery, this time off the rez, and got a real jail sentence.

This guy was accused of a minor traffic violation and surrendered with his hands up. He was kneeling and the other officers screamed……Don’t release the dog!

Still the guy released him and ordered him to attack

Good doggie.

I don’t know why the OP posted a story from 2021

This is the one that is in the news today

The fellow did use an obscenity with the police officer, so I can see where the cop was offended. A lot of officers don't take that shit for a second.

However, what I don't see is why the news story mentions the race of the guy who got bit. There is no reason to think a smartassed Honky wouldn't have got the same treatment if he acted out in this Alabama town. looks like the media is just trying to stir up a racial divide.

Whatever happened will be first investigated by the police, then by the court. If misconduct is found, it will be on the part of the handler. If the handler is found to have engaged in misconduct, he should be disciplined and discharged. The handler may have acted because of the complection of of the perpetrator, but I have yet to meet a dog who cares one bit about it.

If it was a white man attacked by the dog this would not even be in the news.

It wasn't minor, he stole the truck and would not pull over and used it as a weapon, swerving at police officers who had deployed stop sticks. He still should not have gotten bit and will likely make money from his stupidity.
