An unarmed Black man was attacked by a police officer’s K-9 as he surrendered to authorities with his hands up, despite an Ohio State Trooper repeatedly urging officers not to release the dog.

    I especially like that the state police gave a lawful order to the lesser division, the lesser division ignored it and faced zero repercussions apparently. That cop should have immediately been arrested. ACAB

      Obviously the overall issue of incompetence and pigheadedness and probable sadism remains, but I don’t think state troopers have authority over local police.

        I think you’re right, state doesn’t have authority over local. Regardless, they’re all dickheads.

      I dont think it works like that, but regardless, cops are high on their ego and will not listen to anyone who isnt their supervisor, even if what theyre being told is logical.
