Event : Killed by police during arrest
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Lorain PD were allegedly serving a warrant to arrest Charles White. Police claim that he had a knife and had attacked a police dog and attacked police. Police shot and killed him.
The bodycam video shows a very different scenario. Police had entered his home and chased him into the basement. White ran and was torn to the ground by an aggressive attacking police K9 dog. Police allege that he lacerated the dog with a knife but an attack on the dog or police is not seen on the video. Instead, White is pulled down and continually bitten by an excited barking Belgian Malinois dog while its handler opens fire on White on the ground, shooting and killing him. We are unable to identify any danger to the officer or dog as both are seen as being the aggressors on this video. The video is linked below
