RE: Police brutality or Police procedure?
It's scary that you think "it was justified force" but you have a right to your own opinion!
Thanks for checking it out

why do you find that scary? keep in mind we don't know the back story here... maybe he stole a pack of cigarrettes... or maybe he was headed somewhere to make good on a threat of violence on someone else... we just don't know. What we do know is he was told repeatedly to stop, warned a dog would be deployed... i've never had a k9 sent to bite me, nor been shot, tazed, or sprayed by the police. when they ask me to comply, I do. if they ask to search my vehicle/property/person i know they don't have the legal right, I inform them as such politely and without conflict, and thats worked great for me so far.
You clearly stated that you are fine with assault of bodily harm as long as it's an officer doing it!
Even when there is clearly no evidence to support it. How is your mentality not scary? He was being stop for no bicycle light!
i don't see where i said that. I'm sorry if you read that. he wasn't bitten for the crime he committed, he was bitten for not complying when told to. you don't fight your battles on the side of the road, you fight them in a court room. its illogical to bitch about the cop's use of force if that use of force is within the confines of the law. if we as a society don't like it, we change the law, not attack the person acting within the law.
and to be fair, that wasn't anything approaching a "mauling". the dog did as trained... it bit, held the grip, and did not shift cause unnecessary damage to the dude.
