The truck driver mauled by a Circleville police K9 spoke to NBC News Friday.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has also announced he's representing the family of Jadarrius Rose, the 23-year-old truck driver who was attacked by the K9 on July 4 after a brief police chase - while he had his hands in the air.
“It is unacceptable for a police officer, while being instructed by other officers not to release the dog while Jadarrius was surrendering with his hands up, to do just that," Crump said. "Body cam video clearly shows [Officer Ryan] Speakman lead the canine to attack unarmed Jadarrius who, at that point, was fully complying. Jadarrius felt unsafe when the traffic stop was initiated and did everything he was supposed to do in that situation – he called 911 to explain his concerns and kept driving. The reality we live in is that Black people have an ingrained mistrust for law enforcement because of situations like this. A man was mauled by a police canine over a missing mudflap.”
