Shouldn’t the Dog Listen to You? 4 White IL Cops Not Enough to Handle Small Black Teen During Unlawful Seizure So They Used an Uncontrollable K-9 to Attack for 8 Minutes. Had to Tase the Dog to Stop
/POLICE CANINES ARE BRED AND TRAINED BY AUTHORITARIANS TO ENSURE THAT THEIR BITE IS FAR MORE SEVERE THANA NORMAL DOG BITE. THE PRESSURE FROM A POLICE CANINE BITE HAS BEEN LIKENED BY ONE COURT TO THE FORCE OF BEING RUN OVER BY A CAR. FOR DECADES, THE CANINE-INDUSTRY CONTENDED THAT POLICE DOGS USUALLY CAUSE ONLY MINOR INJURIES AND BITE FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS. THE ERA OF BODY CAMS AND CELLPHONE RECORDINGS SHOWS THEY OFTEN BITE FOR MUCH LONGER AND CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY. UNLIKE NORMAL DOGS, POLICE CANINES ARE TRAINED TO BITE HARD, USE ALL THEIR TEETH AND BITE MULTIPLE TIMES. STUDIES HAVE FOUND THAT OVER 3,500 POLICE CANINE BITESANNUALLY RESULT IN EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, AND THAT CANINE FORCE RESULTS IN A HIGHER PROPORTION OF HOSPITAL VISITATIONS THAN ANY OTHER TYPE OF POLICE FORCE. ON RARE OCCASIONS, POLICE CANINES HAVE KILLED PEOPLE, INCLUDING A SUSPECTED BURGLAR, A LIKELY TRESPASSER AND A HOMELESS WOMAN.
THIS LEVEL OF VIOLENCE CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED BY THE THREAT POSED. POLICE DOGS ROUTINELY USE FORCE THAT UNQUESTIONABLY WOULD BE UNLAWFUL IF USED DIRECTLY BY A POLICE OFFICER. THE DOGS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY SET ON PEOPLE SUSPECTED OF CRIMES LIKE BURGLARY, CAR THEFT, TRESPASSING, TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS OR “FLEEING”FROM THE POLICE, AND OFTEN USED DURING POLITICAL PROTESTS AND ON NON-WHITES IN IMMIGRATION RAIDS.

From [HERE] An Illinois teen is recovering at home after he was bitten by a Granite City police dog on Monday during a traffic stop. When the dog latched onto the teen’s leg and would not let go, officers tased the animal in order to get the K-9 to let him go.
Devondrea Williams told KMOV after he was bitten by the animal, “I ain’t never screamed like that a day in my life.”
At around 2:30 a.m. on Monday, Williams was in a vehicle with his cousin when they were pulled over by police. Williams did not know why they were being stopped and said officers didn’t give a reason. Police said they pulled the vehicle over because an individual had been involved with a fight. Williams’ cousin, who was the driving, corroborated the claim about his involvement in a fight. Williams was in the back seat of the truck.
According to Williams, police asked for his information and asked him to get out of the truck. Before Williams could do much he said an officer grabbed his arm and several other officers pushed him against the truck.
Williams explained, “and then I see the dog out of the corner of my eye and then the dog bites me.” The teen said he was bitten by the dog four or five times.
Regeana Canada, who lives close to where the incident took place, saw police lights and filmed the encounter on her phone. She said the dog was latched onto Williams for eight or nine minutes. Repeated commands for the dog to release Williams can be heard on the recording of the incident.
Ultimately, the dog had to be tased but only several minutes after latching onto Williams, who suffered injuries to his leg and hand. “They had to tase the dog,” asked the confused young man. “If you have a K9, shouldn’t the dog listen to you?”
The Supreme Court has explained that a driver may be stopped based on reasonable, articulable suspicion. Also the driver and passengers may be ordered from the vehicle for officer safety. However, unless the officer has a reasonable articulable suspicion, he may not further detain a passenger. Pennsylvania v. Mimms, 434 U.S. 106, 98 S.Ct. 330, 54 L.Ed.2d 331 (1977)(driver); Maryland v. Wilson, 519 U.S. 408, 117 S.Ct. 882, 137 L.Ed.2d 41 (1997)(passengers).
As such, based on what has been reported the white cop had no lawful basis to seize the Black teen. BW.
To answer the young man’s question: Authority is not required to listen to anyone who is not a higher authority. The force continuum is uncontrollable by “citizens,” such as yourself.
If a “public servant," such as a police officer, is uncontrollable, unaccountable, can’t be hired or fired by you, has irresponsible power over you and provides a compulsory “service” then he is actually your Master. Lysander Spooner, explained “It is of no importance that I appointed him, and put all power in his hands. If I made him uncontrollable by me, and irresponsible to me, he is no longer my servant, agent, attorney, or representative. If I gave him absolute, irresponsible power over my property, I gave him the property. If I gave him absolute, irresponsible power over myself, I made him my master, and gave myself to him as a slave. And it is of no importance whether I called him master or servant, agent or owner.

"The child who is taught to believe the law will be his protection is the child who will become the victim of its own beliefs." "Unquestioned beliefs own you."
In the end, after the cops interfered with his freedom and physically assaulted him no one was arrested during the unlawful stop.
Granite City Police Capt. Gary Brooks stated, “During the traffic stop, an individual obstructed the investigation and resisted arrest. They were taken into custody with the assistance of a police K-9. This investigation is still ongoing and as a result, no further information can be given at this time regarding this matter.”
Canada, however, refuted the captain’s claims of resistance. “No, he did not resist arrest at all,” said Canada
