@NeedMorePlebs He will have trouble suing the individual officer because police officers are covered from liability by “qualified immunity” during their work hours. The officer’s employer might also be protected unless it can be shown that their policies or their training is negligent. Judges regularly dismiss civil suits because of qualified immunity. It’s not a slam dunk case, despite this video clearly showing criminal behavior by the officer handling the K9. Look up qualified immunity if the law isn’t clear to you. It’s being challenged, sometimes successfully. The idea behind the law isn’t bad: without it, Law officers and their agencies could be overburdened with frivolous lawsuits. Obviously the problem is there are abusive cops and agencies that are shielded from consequences.

@ultramagapurebloodpride8294 It is worth mentioning if the police agency (either of them in this case) has shown a pattern of discrimination or abuse.

I don’t know enough about the story to know the duration between the attempt to pull the driver over and when he complied. If there was a lengthy pursuit, it wasn’t mentioned in the video. At what point did the driver know he was being stopped? Was he looking for a safe place to pull over? There are questions not answered by the video and without answers, we can’t know the driver’s culpability for creating the situation, if any. But regardless, the driver HAD pulled over and was complying with officers’ orders to the best of his ability (while officers were yelling conflicting orders). The real culpability lies with the K-9 officer and his employer if they didn’t provide him with proper training or if he had any pattern of sadism and abuse that had gone unaddressed. But let me suggest that you might have a victim-blaming problem if your take away is that the victim brought the dog attack on himself.
