FBI is investigating the arrest of a Black man in which 3 white officers let a police dog repeatedly bite him

---------

The moment was captured on video by a bystander, and police later confirmed in a statement that the dog had repeatedly bitten the man.

The video shows the man being arrested on September 20, with police officers leaning him over a car while another officer stands with a dog.

The officer then lets the dog go toward the man, and the dog bites him as the man grabs his ankles and says "help." The officers do not intervene

The officers then push the man to the ground, and the dog pulls his leg. The officers pull the dog back, and then releasing it again, before eventually removing the dog from the man.

The City of Woodson Terrace Police Department said in a statement after the arrest that the man was under the influence of "a narcotic," and that he resisted arrest and threatened officers.

The video does not appear to show the man resisting arrest.

1. Police dogs are ordered to attack. They don't attack on their own.

Officers "let" the dog bite him?

2. I saw that video and he was compliant.

The attack seems more of a way to make him noncompliant. Then it’s open season for them.

Most bite victims are men, and studies suggest that in some places, they have been disproportionately Black. Investigations into the police department in Ferguson, Missouri, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have both found dogs bit non-White people almost exclusively.

A statistical study found that police dog bites sent roughly 3,600 people to emergency rooms each year from 2005 to 2013; almost all were male and Black men were overrepresented.
