If what the suspect says is true ... namely that he was unaware the police were attempting to arrest him and that the first he knew of the dog was when it bit him then I side with the suspect... and the police should be damn glad it wasn’t me because I would have gone for the eyes and throat.
I didn’t get that from the story.
He said he was unaware the dog was behind him.
Reads like he was running from the law and they set the dog free to run him down.
And like all perps “Why you arresting me? I didn’t do nothing!”
