Ohio Officer Defends Use of Police Dog on Black Man in Controversial K-9 Incident

Body camera footage shows fired Ohio police officer, Ryan Speakman, defending his decision to release a police dog on Jadarrius Rose, a Black man with his hands raised during a traffic stop. Speakman can be heard shouting warnings before unleashing the dog, despite a trooper repeatedly telling him not to. Rose can be seen in pain as the dog bites his arm. Speakman later questions why people are mad at him, stating that Rose didn't comply with his commands. Rose was charged with failure to comply and could face prison time. Speakman has been fired, with the police union filing a grievance against his termination. The White House called the video tragic and urged the passing of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
