Ohio officer fired for repeated discussions of K-9 attack on surrendering man

An Ohio K-9 officer was fired for repeatedly discussing details of an incident where he released his police dog on a surrendering Black man.
The officer defended his actions to release the dog despite warnings from others at the scene not to do so.
The police chief accused the officer of unauthorized release of confidential information and deceptive behavior during the investigation.
A civilian review board found the officer's use of force did not violate department policies, but has no role in disciplinary measures.
The officer's union filed a grievance over his termination, claiming it was without just cause.
