"He certainly wasn't posing an imminent threat of violence or harm to anyone and he certainly wasn't concealed. He was fenced in an area and was being compliant," Gill said. released by Gill's office, Pearce and the police dog named Tuco confronted Ryans through a fence. Pearce told Ryans to get on the ground.

"Ryans did not express any intentions or engage in actions reflecting he was going to resist the officers," the report states.

KUER slcpd really? The guy who did this should be charged with ADW, made to pay medical bills & compensatory damages, fired, and then, you should decide, between lawyers, on how much of his pension should be paid to his victim for life, and whether the organization owes a settlement.

KUER

KUER NPR, wake up to the fact that no matter what actions of not posing any threat to the Police will often result in a violent response from Law Enforcement especially dealing with black people who they hold in contempt, hate and racist bigotry.

KUER Did this really happen the way it was reported?

KUER they need to put this dog to sleep...

KUER Clickbait... Nobody cares when it happens to the other 80% of the population 🤦‍♂️

KUER Now do Bernardo Palacios slcpd SimGillDA

KUER As he should be. He faces 15 years & I hope he gets the full 15. The dude who was attacked may need his leg amputated.
