On January 27, 2025 Maine State Police was doing a raid on 100 college street apartment 4 Lewiston Maine. While they were conducting a raid a Maine State Police officer was seen abusing his k9. In the video shown the dog was sniffing and looking around and the handler grabbed the dog by its leash which is connected to collar on the dog. The handler grabbed and through the dog in the air and swung the dog around to correct the dog. This would be the dog was thrown around by its neck. There are humane ways to correct a dog. If the officer cannot handle the dog they should not be partners. This animal abuse isn’t accepted. It is completely wrong if this was one us civilians we’d be charged with animal abuse charge. Let’s also not forget this k9 is legally an officer which makes it also an assault on an officer. The handler needs to understand this isn’t acceptable and we want justice. Maine State Police Animal Abuse
