As he stood with his hands up beside the highway on July 4, at least six law enforcement officers surrounded him at a distance, one calling forcefully to the K-9 handler: “Do not release the dog,” highway patrol video shows.
Nevertheless, a Belgian Malinois is seen on the video either breaking free or being set loose. At first, the animal seems confused, racing past Rose toward officers at the far end of the truck, then turning back and running for Rose, then 23.
By then the trucker is on his knees, hands still high, as an officer shouts, “Get the dog off of him!”
The cop was actually fired "because he allegedly lied to his superiors about whom he shared confidential details of the incident with, according to the newly released documents." … not because he released the dog. Lying to superiors is an internal HR issue and unlikely to be reversed by a grievance.
Gotta choose who you lie to; other cops = bad, everyone else = good
Sometimes our current world feels like a dystopian sci-fi.
