Are the officer names public yet? If not, why not?

While the lawsuit targets PAPD, MVPD should review the rules that allowed PAPD to operate so recklessly in Mountain View.
If the goal was to locate an individual in a smallish backyard, why wasn't the dog kept on leash?
Unleashing a K-9 dog seems like an excessive and un-necessary use of force in that situation.

Since June, we've heard repeatedly from city council members that police brutality is not a problem in Mountain View. Clearly that's not the case. I agree with SRB: even if the offending officer was with PAPD, the MVPD is responsible for bringing PAPD into Mountain View and is ultimately responsible for what happened in their jurisdiction.
