Hopefully anon or someone will leak their names/addresses. It wouldn't do anything but make me smile to see those fat lazy fucks burned alive.
You sir, are no better than the officers that put down the dog. In fact, Id argue that youre much worse of a human being. Trust me, those officers did not want to go out of their way to shoot a dog in front of a crowd with camera phones. Youre one sick depraved individual to take pleasure out of wishing a lynch mob would burn two fat lazy fucks alive. Theres a special place in hell for people like you, if you believe in such a thing.
I hope he wins millions. He looks poor.
Where do you think those millions are going to come from? Obamabucks? No, the city tax payer.
While the video was tough to watch, its easy to see why the officers felt threatened by the dog. You just need to contain any dog loving or cop hating emotions. The dog did escape through the open window of the car and was aggressively barking and lunging at the officers. It may have been stupid, but one officer did try to grab the dogs collar to try to contain it. They did not rush to draw their pistols. You can make an argument about using mace or a taser instead. But decisions like those are always easier to make sitting in a computer chair completely detached from the situation and potential threat.
Whether or not the officers were in the right to detain the individual is another story. Yes, its not against the law to take a video from a public sidewalk. On the other hand, the individual was pacing back & forth and went across the street awfully close to the crime scene and police cruisers. It probably did not help that he held his camera out in such a strange manner (almost like a gun, as bad as that anology may sound) and pointed it directly at the two officers for an extended period of time. I dont see too many people hold cameras like that. Its still not clear whether or not he may have mouthed something off as he was getting into his car. You have to almost applaud the officers for not aggressively throwing the individual to the ground to cuff him.
Judging by the number of police vehicles and swat humvee in the background, it looked like a fairly serious situation. Common sense would dictate that you stand atleast 25 feet back from the cruisers, whether or not theres yellow tape up. I can see why they would have wanted to detain him temporarily, but would be crying foul if they tried charging him with anything.
I don't know how I ultimately feel on the dogs death. On one hand, the individual was more than likely detained for no good reason. This lead to the death of his dog. On the other hand, if he had his windows rolled up to the point where the dog could not get out, or exercised better judgement in filming, we wouldn't be talking about this either.
