Williams noted a recent finding that over a six-month period, 100 percent of people bitten by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department dogs were black or Latino.

When the trainer insisted that the problem resided with the humans holding he dogs leashes, Williams scoffed: “People arent racist anymore. We have a black president now.”
