## Mexican tourist sues police
Mexican tourist Salvador Alonso Guerrero-Salmeron sued Colorado police after officers gave confusing Spanish commands during a SWAT raid.

> Fart police, fart the wood
## Confusing Spanish commands
Officers repeatedly shouted 'Pedo policía pedo la madera' which translated to 'Fart police, fart the wood' during the raid.

> Pedo policía pedo la madera
## Dog attack during raid
A police dog named Loki bit his arm for 15 seconds after officers ordered it to attack him.

> Loki
## Arrest and dropped charge
Guerrero-Salmeron was arrested for failing to obey police orders but the charge was later dropped.

> Don’t speak Spanish. Speak English. I speak English
## Suing for unjustified force
Attorneys claim the attack was unjustified as Guerrero-Salmeron posed no threat and was unarmed.

> The police cannot order a K-9 to attack someone unless that person presents a threat sufficient to justify that heightened level of force
## Key takeaway

Mexican musician Salvador Alonso Guerrero-Salmeron sued Colorado police after they ordered a K-9 to attack him during a raid, claiming the commands were incomprehensible and he posed no threat.
