"The police department hired an outside expert to review the incident. He determined the use of force was justified due to Schumacher’s repeated non-compliance and possible threatening gestures.
However, following the incident, the PGPD changed its K-9 policy. Now to deploy a K-9, a suspect must show “aggressive resistance” not just “active resistance.” PGPD Chief Tom Lewis said he does not want to see the incident repeated.
“I think the biggest thing here is irrespective of the legalities and technicalities and everything else, we wanted to make sure that something like this never happened again,” Chief Lewis said."
It was completely justified, but they don't ever want it to happen again, and they made a policy change?
