First I am going to post the raw video.
The suspect had run. He had driven at more than 100 MPH attempting to flee according to reports. And none of that matters one damn bit.
Prescott Valley police defend canine use in traffic arrest
Police on Monday justified the use of an attack dog on a suspect who appeared on a police body cam video to be complying with officers.apnews.com
Saldivar was complying. He was prone on the ground as directed. He got to his knees as directed. He started to stand obeying orders from the police when they sent in the attack dog.
The Chief says he is not going to second guess the officers on the scene.
Chief. That is literally your job. That is literally the job of a supervisor to judge and assess the performance of subordinates. It is literally the job of a boss to make sure the employees are doing what they are supposed to.
In the meantime the Police have been polled. They insist they do not need reforms. They are doing a fantastic job. Shut up and go away.
This is not doing a fantastic job. This as nearly every recent example of brutality clearly shows that Law Enforcement is desperately in need of reform.
Now. In truth if people are unwilling to change then change will be forced upon them. And the changes forced are most often far more extreme than what could have been done by the participants.
In a week the Prescott Valley Police will be wishing they had said that actions were wrong. In two weeks the cops involved will be facing prosecution for their actions. In a month cops will be fired and the Department will announce the Grand Jury decision to indict.
Not police brutality -- they only let one dog attack him....what is brutality is them not allowing the other dog to have some fun.....
Look....he is an illegal alien criminal scumbag...not a real person
It wasn't like he was standing up for his right to not wear a mask -- something noble...
three (3) good points.
