"Police Union Challenges Firing of Circleville Officer as K9 Victim Seeks Legal Representation with Ben Crump"

The family of Jadarrius Rose, an unarmed Black man who was attacked by a police K9 during a traffic stop in Circleville, Ohio, has retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump. The officer who released the dog, Ryan Speakman, has been fired by the Circleville Police Department, but the Ohio Patrolmen's Benevolent Association plans to fight his termination. Crump criticized the officer's actions and highlighted the ingrained mistrust that Black people have for law enforcement. No civil lawsuit has been filed yet, but Rose is currently facing a felony charge related to the traffic stop.
