Ohio cop is FIRED after footage showed him unleash K-9 on
unarmed black trucker with his hands up
Ryan Speakman has been fired from the Circleville police
department
Body camera footage showed him deploying a K-9 on Jadarrius
Rose, 23, who failed to pull over for an inspection and
led cops on a chase
. . .
As previously noted ... all this over a
MUD FLAP flap ???
OK, there should NOT have been a "chase" ...
some demerits to the trucker here.
OTOH, unleashing the hounds on someone, maybe
just because they were 'black', ain't such a
good thing either.
SOME cops are -ists ... racists, sadists ...
and may be prone to using dogs as weapons
to further their prejudices. Prob gives them
a little boner. If they think they can get
away with it ........
In any case, THIS instance was clearly-enough
Over The Top to fire the cop immediately.
Ohio is middle-road mostly, not WokieCom or
fascist. The particular cop involved was just
WAY beyond sanity.
IMHO, "police dogs" should be PHASED OUT.
The abuse potential is too great and there
are issues about putting the animals in
mortal danger over what they don't understand
as well.
