Wilmington police officer Stafford Brister lifted the dog into the Willaims’ vehicle after put his hands in the air in a futile bid to turn himself in, the video shows.
New Hanover County District Attorney Ben David said the explosive video prompted a jury to look at Brister’s actions. A grand jury cleared the cop of any wrongdoing, WWAY reported.

Williams, on the other hand, was indicted for assaulting a government official with a deadly weapon for turning his car into a battering ram.
In previous interviews, the man had said that the canine attack was not merited, despite his erratic driving.

“I didn’t do anything forceful against the officers. I didn't not do anything,” Williams had previously told WWAY3. “I stopped and I gave up my rights and I tried holding up my hands.”
The startling video — captured on Wilmington Police dashboard cameras — has prompted Police Chief Ralph Evangelous to launch an internal investigation, WWAY reported.
