        What do you think these officers do when they're told "no" by a prospective sexual partner, or a neighbor, maybe even a family member? Do they maim them, too? Deport these thugs back to whatever despot-ravaged country you please, they don't deserve to be here.

        They've got to lose their jobs and be subject to criminal charges. Oh, and a major major major lawsuit is in order too.

        I can't bear to watch video - did he refuse to get out, or just refuse to answer questions?

        He refused to give his name, didn’t have a license plate on the car, didn’t hand over registration, drivers license and proof of insurance. Basically did not comply with the rules for operating a vehicle on a public roadway. After 20 minutes and tons of warnings, 🐕 time

        I understand that he was refusing to do as he was told. I don't understand why a K9 was necessary. Was something wrong with the officers arms? Could he not first try and extract the guy from the car?

        I’m not defending them, fyi. Nor am I a LEO. Only guess I have is they didn’t know if he had a knife or sharp up his sleeve, or a gun easily accessible. They had to have “control” over him before attempting to extract him from the vehicle. Only my speculation ~

        An investigation concluded the officers responded with an appropriate amount of excessive force

        They threw the dog in the cars windows for the sole purpose of messing the guy up. They feared for their safety, yet none of the officers appeared to have a weapon drawn? The guys an idiot for the sovereign citizen bit, but the cops committed the criminal act.

        Just because someone has the legal right to open or conceal carry, doesn't give police the right to assume the worst and use excessive force.

        Cops carry a variety of weapons and often instill fear as a tactic, putting people in a state of fear for their lives. How about if citizens responded the same?
