Daytona Beach, Florida — On April 8, 2023, around 2:10 a.m., Daytona Beach Police Department received a burglary report from a local car dealership. The caller said that a man armed with a tennis racket had been burglarizing a vehicle, prompting officers to respond to the scene. A K-9 officer arrived and began searching for the suspect, later identified as 57-year-old Richard O’Donnell, eventually discovering him nearby with the tennis racket still in hand. According to the DBPD, the K-9 officer identified as Officer Joshua Martin, gave O’Donnell multiple commands to get on the ground and cooperate. Ignoring these orders and showing heightened aggression, the police K-9, Vezer, was released to assist in apprehending him.

O’Donnell used the racket against Vezer while also kicking him, and then made attempts to choke the K-9 by wrapping both his legs and arms around the dog’s neck. As the K-9 attacks O’Donnell, the cop grabs the racket and begins to beat O’Donnell’s head with it, striking him numerous times. Officers also used a Taser on O’Donnell, according to reports. Eventually, officers were able to apprehend O’Donnell and secure the K-9. O’Donnell was taken to the hospital after the arrest to be treated for his injuries. O’Donnell, was charged with burglary of a conveyance, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting an officer with violence. He was released after posting $12,000 bail on June 21.

  8. Regardless of who tha suspect is, or what they're alleged to have done, if they're an actual human, with a functioning "fight or flight" instinct, the best way to ensure NON-COMPLIANCE, is to sic a dog on'em! (And, sic'in dogs on perps who have the means to resist with deadly force, is also a great way to get your "best friend" KILLED, for absolutely NO REASON…)

  14. One of the funniest ones yet! Homeboy got beat with his own tennis racket while getting fur missile treatment to his inner thighs, tased, beat some more, tased some more and was singing the Star Spangled Banner at some point?! Like holy baby Jesus poop!

  22. So many K9 police are freaking cruel bastards. Of course the person is going to fight the god damn dog if it’s attacking them.

  23. Bite to the groin then the officer says get off the dog. Oh, his groin hurts put you hands behind your back? Let him recover maybe a few minutes.

  26. If you've ever been attacked by a dog, or any wild animal, you know it's a natural instinct to fight back when attacked. I can't blame him for holding down the dog that was biting into his flesh. Dogs have no place doing anything but sniffing in modern police work. They cause pain — and get injured themselves. That dog would have killed him if he could have and you know that when being attacked — you think nothing but "it's either me or them". Not excusing the actions that got him there, I'm just saying sicking a dog on someone is using a deadly weapon against them.

  35. Well he certainly made lot of racket with a dog biting at his balls. He’ll have his day with line judge on the court.

  40. I don’t care what anyone has done it’s never ok to send in a dog … it’s barbaric & it needs to stop NOW… cruel & unnecessary, also I’ve seen dogs injured & killed in similar pursuits WTAF 😡

  41. This reminds me of the joke about the guy who keeps getting raped by the bear. “Be honest, you didn’t come here to play tennis did you?”

  48. I think the use of force was too much. I mean they didn't even give the guy a chance before they release the dog they weren't even close to the guy. I hope Karma gets even with all those cops!
