This July, Florida police officers pulled over a Black driver near Gainesville, Florida. The man claimed that he had run through a stop sign, however, since the incident, police have confessed that there is no stop sign at that intersection at all. The police ordered the man to exit the car. Being a Black man pulled over, he was scared and ran into nearby bushes. When he left, his elbow nudged against the cops who took this as “using force” against them. After they found contraband items in his car, they released the unit’s K9 on the man.

When the dog found him, Bradley begged for police to stop the dog, but they refused. He screamed and shouted. He told police that he had his eye ripped out of the socket, but they let the dog continue to maul the man. Eventually, they ordered the man to stand up.

For months the police department resisted calls from the public to share the bodycam footage. When they finally did, it was clear why they wanted to hide it for so long. The footage that they released was also obviously clipped and edited.
In the videos, one of the cops says, “We need EMS now. The eye is out.” And then, police went on to arrest Bradley.
The police report even blames the victim for the mauling. To make matters worse, the Gainesville Police Department was recently sued by a former police officer who said there was widespread and systemic racism within the K9 unit specifically. The former employee says that the staff consistently referred to Black residents and officers using racial slurs.
Sign this petition to demand a thorough independent investigation into the Gainesville Police Department and justice for Bradley!
