A man's leg may need to be amputated after the Salt Lake City Police Department allegedly used excessive force against him by ordering a police dog to bite the man repeatedly, leaving him severely injured.

Attorneys for Jeffery Ryans, 36, say a police officer"commanded his K9 ... to attack Ryans unnecessarily and for an extended period of time" back in April. Salt Lake City Police say they are investigating the incident internally.What happenedOn April 24, Ryans was getting ready for work at around 3:30 a.m. when police showed up saying they were investigating an incident of domestic violence, according to Ryans' lawyers.

Ryans repeatedly while he was on his knees with his hands in the air," his lawyers say. Body camera video from the incident shows Ryans lying on the ground protesting and exclaiming in pain as a dog bites and tugs at his left leg. One officer is seen handcuffing him while another officer repeatedly says"good boy" to the dog."Why are you biting me?" Ryans screams on the video at one point.

hey sheep - do not think , do not research... believe what mainstream media is saying ... repeat with us : Orange man bad , Orange man bad ...

Is american police directly related to american presidents? They all resemble beasts in their nature... far from humanity.

Illtempered dog doesnt know its job is to apprehend not gnaw

Charge these cops and sue the police dept.

I've seen this dog shit at least twice with my own eyes.

Too bad

AWESOME!!!!!! HOPE IT HAPPENS MORE AND MORE!!!!

For everyone who commits crimes or resists arrest know that there are consequences. Stop defending criminals and defend the rule of law.

u say excessive i say not enough.

Don't forget to wear yours today. 😜😜

This dog is not guilty. The guilty have been the official police who ordered do it to the dog.

That’s very horrible

If CNN had any journalistic integrity they would have reported this story objectively. This is a man who had a restraining order. Your story states this criminal was in the home illegally and that he tried to run from police. Why can’t you just report the facts?

Evcoc54 What?!!!

after the recent news about police officers started of the George Floyd case I’m no longer seeing them as awesome as I used to be as a child. (I know that not all of them is bad but this influenced my perspective on them sorry)

Because he was peacefully protesting?

I’m sure he didn’t resist arrest. They never do
