The St. Louis County prosecutor’s office is investigating an incident caught on cellphone video in which white officers allowed a police dog to repeatedly bite a Black man during an arrest.
The video of the arrest Monday in the St. Louis suburb of Woodson Terrace has sparked outrage online and led theto compare it to the pre-civil rights days in Alabama. The suspect is Black and the three officers shown in the video are white.
Officers in Woodson Terrace, a city of about 4,000 people near St. Louis Lambert International Airport, were advised at 7:18 a.m. Monday that a man had broken into a business. Police said in a Facebook post that the man appeared to be on drugs, had threatened to kill officers, and had tried to walk away from them and into rush-hour traffic. The department didn’t release the man’s name.
After the officer pulls off the dog, the man appears to take a step to run but stumbles, and the dog lunges at him again, this time biting a leg for another 30 seconds until the officer stops the animal. Officers then handcuff the man, who seems to be barely able to walk as he is led to a squad car. Police said a substance believed to be methamphetamine was found on the man. He has not yet been charged and was released from police custody, police said.
