California Lawmaker's Want To Ban Police Dogs From Biting Suspects

 

Two state lawmakers introduced a bill Monday that would ban law enforcement agencies from using policedogs in situations where the animals could bite someone — saying the practice is “deeply racialized.”

“The use of police canines has inflicted brutal violence and lifelong trauma on black Americans and communities of color,” the bill’s co-author, Assemblymember Corey Jackson, said in a statement. “This bill marks a turning point in the fight to end this cruel and inhumane practice and build trust between the police and the communities they serve.”

The legislation, co-authored by Assemblymember Ash Kalra, would prohibit the use of K-9s during arrests, apprehensions and crowd-control activities
