After a video showed a dog assaulting a man, a Canton, Ohio, K9 police officer was placed on leave

Description:

There is a contentious scenario with the Ohio police. After an intervention in which his dog seemed to attack a guy who was laying on the ground with his hands behind his back, Nicholas Casto, an officer in the canine brigade, has been suspended. A weapon and a partially opened bottle of alcohol were discovered in the vehicle during a traffic stop. When the audience turned hostile, tension increased and the cops had to step in. Before making an arrest, Casto issued a warning to a man who was threatening his police dog. An onboard camera captured the scene, which is presently the subject of an internal inquiry. The man who provoked the dog was one of four people arrested that day.
