You can't set a ferocious dog on a handcuffed man because you think he may not have "sterling character."

That's just extremely lame conduct by the officer.

Shoulda nipped it in the bud decades ago. Too late now.
They have been doing this sh*t to whites for along time. My brother was a victim back in the 60's in an elevator with disorderly PO, in Long Beach, CA. I would guess whites tend to move on from the incident, others see lawsuits.

If you noticed they allowed the dog to stay in an aggressive behaviour, then let go of leash, no accident!

It didn't become a serious problem until after 9/11 when every podunk cop was armed like Rambo.

They certainly found no wrong doing at the IRS or ATF, meanwhile they ignore court orders and their own legal mandates because they don't want to **** off voters before an election.

Dodad pro anyone?

I think every citizen who experiences such conduct by the police should sue the force that protects these cops. The only way a problem is addressed is by forcing the issue into the light.

Its not 100% clear what happened here. If he intentionally released the dog he should be charged. If the dog just got away its likely a civil action. Just as if uiur dog bit someone.

The problem is these civil actions don't target the one at fault but rather the taxpayers.

If the handler was competent, the dog would have never gotten loosen. Now if you and I owned an aggressive dog you someone acted in manner that would put our dog in a protective attitude and we lost control of the dog, no one would even try to excuse our negligence.

Hardly, a "well trained" dog will drop the bite upon verbal command by the handler.

Funny thing about the law and the Constitution, they don't make distinctions regarding one's character.

Herein lies the problem, you and I pay literally tens of millions of dollars each and every year as a result of lawsuits brought against municipalities as the result of police misconduct, but the individual officers don't have to pay a dime because they are indemnified by their agencies. If we want stop police abuse, the quickest and most certain way would to make individual officers share in the personal responsibilities of their actions.

Until we stop allowing psychopaths to be hired in law enforcement, this kind of thing will continue.
Law enforcement attracts people who are anti social and gives them cover for their crimes against citizens.
Your local school yard bullies, grow up to become your local law enforcement, only now they can fulfill their psychopathic desires without fear of paying any price.
