Salt Lake City suspends use of police dogs after a Black man was bit while complying – The Salt Lake Tribune

A Salt Lake City officer who ordered a police dog to attack a Black man who was on his knees with his hands in the air has been suspended pending an investigation into whether the use of force was necessary, the mayor announced Wednesday.

Mayor Erin Mendenhall tweeted that the use of police dogs to engage with suspects will also be suspended until the city can review its policies and practices.
