puts the dog into the man's lap. do you think just knowing this that this is not assault? >> well, you know, it becomes problematic, brooke. but what will happen is, and i think what's critical, is you have to look whether it was retaliation for the officer saying, you know what, you put me and my other fellow officers in danger. as a result, i will retaliate. or was it proper police protocol or procedure where you needed the dog, perhaps, to snip if there were weapons, if there was someone else in the car, or if it represented a danger. that's what it turns on and finally, although a grand jury did, in fact, clear him, you know, that may not be the end of it legally. certainly there will be departmental charges that could be forthcoming depending on the internal investigation. there could be a civil lawsuit here, depending upon what the victim, quote/unquote, the defendant in this case would decide to do. then the community certainly could push for some type of federal civil rights charge against the officer. this is a discussion that's far from over, brooke. >> mike brooks, you were a cop for years and years.
