Police have released dashcam video of a traffic stop in which Iowa police officer shot and paralyzed an unarmed motorist. Cedar Rapids officer Lucas Jones shot Jerime Mitchell on Nov. 1. The video was released Thursday after prosecutors announced Tuesday that a grand jury declined to charge Jones. The county prosecutor defended the jury’s Monday decision, saying Jones fired in self-defense during a scuffle in which Mitchell was trying to drive away.
Mitchell’s supporters have criticized the decision because the grand jury never heard testimony from Mitchell, who disputes the officer’s version. In a statement Wednesday, Mitchell said Jones was combative. Mitchell says he got back in his truck to try to get away from an attacking police dog before Jones jumped on him and shot him.

did the dog know to just wait in the car until called or does he have a kennel button?
The dog needs more training, he backed away and watched as the officer was being attacked! Not good!
The dog didn’t do shit lol
that wheelchair turned his life around. yeah you see what i did there.
The grand jury is saying Jerime Mitchell did not have a leg to stand on.
Those people are always doing something!!
Dog needs some deescaltion
Fucking liar was clearly resisting before the dog came out. These criminals and their family will say anything, even when there is video evidence. Low lifes.
The dog escape from the window to help his pratner
Clever police officer. Nerv killing shit dog. ðŸ•
He wasn't unarmed he was driving a 4000 pound gun.

“ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF!â€
Easy money to jerime
That dog is a freaking hero!
8 million dollars. Says it all.
The K9 officer was barking like crazy. I absolutely LOVE how instinctively he knew his human partner was in troubles and intervened on his own accord. The K9 officer is actually smarter than most, if not all of these criminals. Well done doggo
Woof!
Dude got $8million from city.
I saw the article on this and he pulled him over for a light burned out on the Lic. plate?? and then wants to handcuff him because he thinks he smells pot?? He shot him and paralyzed him for that? wow!!
Dude just got 8 million dollars from the city…
That the perp got 8 million is a joke. I would not give him a dime for driving off trying to kill an officer, but that's what is wrong with America right now.
Well, I wish that I knew what they said to each other. It would have put a bright light on why they struggled. If the officer said that his boys were going to have fun with him, I could understand the struggle. In the early days, the police would take you jail, then let you out in the middle of the night so they can lynch you. This is why I want to hear what they said to each other.
