TL;DR Summary

An Ohio police officer, Ryan Speakman, has been fired after releasing a police dog that mauled a Black man, Jadarrius Rose, who had surrendered with his hands raised. The officer's termination has sparked controversy, with the Ohio Patrolmen's Benevolent Association claiming it was without just cause. The department's Use of Force Review Board found that the canine policy was followed, but it does not have the authority to recommend discipline.

Rose has been charged with failure to comply with a police officer's order and faces potential prison time.
