Two California lawmakers have introduced a bill that would ban the use of police canines for arrests, apprehensions and crowd control, saying officers have long targeted and brutalized Americans of color with police dogs. Corey Jackson (D-Perris) and Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) introduced AB 742 to "end a deeply racialized and harmful practice that has been a mainstay in America's history of racial bias and violence against Black Americans and people of color," according to a news release.
"This bill marks a turning point in the fight to end this cruel and inhumane practice and build trust between the police and the communities they serve."
Injuries caused by police canines made up nearly 12% of the police use-of-force incidents that led to serious injury or death statewide in 2021, according to statistics released by the California Department of Justice. Black and Latino people accounted for about two-thirds of the use-of-force cases involving canines.
Maybe POCs get bit more because they commit more crime and resist more. Also, no mention of WIA officers' count.
