NAACP calls for investigation into use of K-9 during traffic stop
The Toledo chapter of the NAACP is demanding an investigation into an incident earlier this month where a Black man was bitten by a Toledo Police K-9 during a traffic stop. “Our police are here to serve, not to occupy our neighborhoods even when they believe a violation of the law has been committed,” said the Rev. Willie Perryman III, president of the Toledo NAACP branch. “We do count on our police to be fair and just when dealing with community members because, as in this case, officers can be misinformed. Incidents of this type not only set back any progress of positive community and police relations, but it demonstrates a glaring need for training,” he said. At the heart of the matter is a traffic stop conducted by Toledo police about 3:10 p.m. April 11 in the central city.
