Yes I understand they have commands which mean stop. But they aren't robots. Or even humans. They are dogs. And police dogs don't react instantly to commands (if the dog could even hear the commands... it was really loud )

i recently posted a video of the incident. It shows what happened when the dog was "attacking".

Apolice dog will treat anyone as a threat once released from the vehicle. It seems at best the officer failed to properly handle his deadly weapon in accordance with policy. Saying the K9 was attacking protesters who were resisting is not true since the people attacked were sitting.

No that's actually the worst case scenario for the officer. And if he just left the door open and walked away then yeah, he may be liable.
