This is the shocking moment a huge police dog brutally mauls a black trucker with his hands up after a police chase in Ohio over a missing mud flap.
The incident unfolded on July 4 after law enforcement officers engaged in the lengthy pursuit of a semi-tractor trailer driven by 23-year-old Jadarrius Rose.
The vehicle was missing a mud flap and it had failed to stop for an inspection, a report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol stated.
After the stop, Rose exited with his hands up and Officer Ryan Speakman with the Circleville Police Department unleashed a police dog on Rose even though a State Police trooper told the local officer not to release the K9.
‘Do not release the dog – with his hands up,’ the State Police trooper could be heard shouting on the video.
Police in Ohio unleashed a K9 on a black man who had exited his vehicle with his hands raised after a traffic stop earlier this month, according to officials

About 40-minutes of body camera footage was released to detail the July 4 incident.
After the chase, the vehicle came to a halt on a state highway about 40 miles south of Columbus after authorities deployed tire deflation devices, known as ‘stop sticks,’ for a second time.
In a video provided by the highway patrol, Rose is seen standing in front of the vehicle with his hands raised as law enforcement officials order him to get on the ground.
The footage showed the dog running towards Rose, on his knees, and the K appeared to be biting and pulling the driver.
Rose screamed loudly and could be heard saying, ‘please get it off.’ ‘Get the dog off of him!’ a trooper yelled.
Other officers were heard on the video requesting first aid and medical attention for Rose.
‘As troopers were attempting to gain compliance by providing verbal commands to the suspect, Circleville Police Department deployed their canine, which resulted in the suspect being bitten by the canine,’ the highway patrol said in a statement.
The dog was released by Speakman, and officials in Circleville have not said if he was placed on leave, according to WOSU.
Rose asked the officers while they released the dog and ordered the K9 to attack. ‘You just let the dog bite me,’ Rose said. The officer said Rose just had to listen to his commands.
