A man bitten badly by a Mountain View police dog early Saturday said he plans to sue the city for racial profiling and police brutality. Patrick Terry, 25, of Jacksonville, Fla., received internal and external stitches to repair the tears on the back of his left thigh after he was stopped by an undercover officer while arguing with his girlfriend. For now, he said, he can't climb the cell phone towers he helps build for a living, and the hospital bills are piling up because he doesn't have insurance. Terry and his girlfriend, Sarah Hill, have contacted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and local civil rights attorneys about the incident. Terry said the officer wouldn't have stopped him if he were not a 6-foot-7 black man walking with a petite white woman. ``And they wouldn't have put the dog on me neither,'' he said. Police have said the German shepherd, named Tino, attacked Terry without being ordered to, perhaps because he thought officers were in danger. The dog has been taken off active duty. Coincidentally, Mountain View Police Chief Steve Vermeer denied that a new report on racial profiling was accurate- arguing that the Cenusus Bureau's data did not properly count Blacks. [more
