Today, I was walking down the street when a police officer started walking behind me with his dog. I sped up and tried to cross the road. He took this as suspicious and got the dog to take me to the floor. I've been afraid of dogs since I was 5. FML

Yes, I would've preferred it if was something more gentle that had taken me down as well. Maybe a turtle perhaps? Or a sloth?

I read "I was walking down the street" and suddenly felt the urge to rap

I guess that gives you one more reason to be afraid of dogs. And a reason to be afraid of cops.

I would sue his ass off. If he thought you looked suspicious he should have ordered you to stop. The dog should be used when all peaceful efforts fail.

You kinda deserve it, when a police follows you, don't speed up.

I'm scared of dogs too so I understand, mind you I'm deathly afraid of large dogs but I'm okay with small ones. What I do is I would pause until the person passes by or I would walk side by side with a friend or a stranger.

sue, he had no probable cause and reacted with force

Darlings, don't blame OP for their fear. Everyone has their fears for some reason or another. I'm scared of heights because children on the playground always through it was fun to push me off the top of the monkey bars when I was still very little. It traumatized me over time and it's not exactly something I can just 'get over'. OP could have been attacked by a dog when they were 5, thus triggering the traumatic fear. Have some sympathy.
