Cops arrest man filming police, shoot his dog.

[Murloc]

I don't see in the video why he was arrested but if EMP is right then they probably had to stop him from causing trouble with his pleb behaviour during a dangerous operation.
I mean, yelling at police and being confrontational and not obeying a order to shut down the music is definitely not the way to behave if you just want to take a video.

Still, poor dog, but it's mainly the owner's fault.

Also who puts a dog that big on an retractable leash? And put the dog on the rear seats? With windows completely open?
Irresponsible all around.
Some people should not own dogs.

I didnt finish it....any chance the dog could have survived I'm kinda a dog lover

no it looked like a shot deer video I saw some time ago, they get like very fast convulsions and then die.

ok with this following information, I blame the dog owner for his dog dying

Wait..you mean to tell me that you actually believe that? I watched the video, at no point did it even register that the guy had music playing in his car. I mean I hear music, but no idea where it's coming from and it isn't too loud to obscure voices. The video is taken 20-30 feet away from the car, the cops are easily 100 feet away, and yet this magical music is so loud as to bother them, but I can barely hear it?

How about a more logical explanation? The police come up with an excuse to make the arrest after the fact. Obviously he was not physically in the way of the police, he was on the sidewalk hundreds of feet away. He likely said something to to anger the police, which is not an arrestable offense in and of itself. Afterwards, they make up a story about his music being "too loud." It's absolutely ridiculous that anyone would buy that load of balogna.

Because they could. Our militarized "police" force is out of control. The trumped up charge was obstructing police. You have eyes, was he obstructing anything?

Yep

That was just fucked up.

The officer was completely justified in shooting the animal. Even if I walk onto your front porch and your dog attempts to bite me I do not have to just let him bite me, I will shoot him on your porch.

Bottom line that is a very dangerous dog that attempted to bite a person. That person protected himself.

 

[Bill Brasky]

The dog owner wanted attention, well, he got it, and got his dog killed. Maybe next time he won't antagonize the police. He was looking to start shit and succeeded. Congratulations!

Idiot owner. There have been thousands of videos like this on the internet.

PSA: Yelling at the police gets you arrested!!! It's not a mystery what's going to happen! Why is he starting crap with the police??

Someone's porch is PRIVATE PROPERTY and if you decide to enter it, armed, and then shoot someones dog your fucked big time.

 

[Texashiker]

One of the worst things I have ever seen.

Dog was upset that its owner was being roughed up, and the cops shoot the dog.

I hope the guy sues the cops and they have to answer for what they did.

The guy was well within his rights to take pictures of the police.

 

[DrunkenSano]

Was the guy actually arrested or just detained? Sometimes people are put in handcuffs not because they are arrested but detained until they sort out the crime scene and have time to investigate him.

 

[gothamhunter]

I could barely hear music in the recorded video, and it seems the person recording it might have been closer than the cops. I know it's not a good measure of "loudness", but I honestly can't believe it was blaring that loud. The officers had to take 35 steps in order to reach the man to take him into custody; he was not in close proximity at all really. Even if he was making a show of it and was talking to the cops, he did nothing to be arrested or detained.

Here's their official statement, posted on their FB page:

The man responsible for the shooting was a defendant in a police brutality case a few years back:

Believe it or not, I do not have to let a dog maul me.

If I am on your porch, I have a legal reason being there, while performing my duties. Again I do not have to let your dog maul me. I'm not sure why you think that I do.

 

[Josh123]

Bad situation all around. It looked like the owner was definitely looking to start some shit. It's hard for me to say the officers could have handled it better without being in their shoes. I know if a huge Rot was 3 feet away from me I'd be pretty frightened.

This worries me about my dog since I own a Jeep and the top is usually off. I'd hate anything like this to happen to him.

Shoot someone's dog on their front porch you won't just walk away. It's a crime, dude.

 

[olds]

So you support the killing of police officers families? The extremists here are just as bad as the ones they whine about.

No. But I do support free speech.

 

[Number1]

Kinda caused it? The dog's owner was being attacked. A good dog will try to do something about that.

A good dog owner should maintain control of his dog at all time, no matter what's going on, especially with a dog this dangerous. He failed miserably.
The police department should sue the dog owner for causing unneeded emotional trauma to the officers and for the price of the bullets, clean up and street damage repairs.

Unless the front yard is fenced and the person went through a gate, good luck with that.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

I'm guessing I don't have to guess that this happened in California? Freaking power hungry cops. They're probably proud of what they did too, and will probably get a promotion for it.

Fixed. Only stupid shit happens there because of all the crazies on both sides of the law.

 

[dustb0wlkid]

I'm a dog lover and I don't take issue with the police shooting the dog in that particular situation. It's a large dangerous breed that was running amok and clearly attacked the cops. They have every right to take it down.

I have a big problem with the cops arresting the dog's owner like that. With that video as evidence that he didn't do anything that warranted arrest he's going to own their ass.

You also seem to have a big problem understanding cause and effect.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

Okay, so by your logic if you're on my porch and don't have a legal reason to be there...I can take your life instead of telling you to leave?

In that case while it may be the best thing to do, it may not be the right thing. Fuck using non lethal, just shoot to kill? Okay...

Stay Classy.

I understand why you think that, But if am legally on your property performing a duty of a legal nature, I am not required to let an attacking dog injure me. I will try to get back to my vehicle and not shoot the dog, but if I feel that my being attacked is imminent I am fully justified in protecting myself.

Law enforcement shooting an attacking dog is really not that unusual, do a quick youtube search for "police shoot pit".

What do you expect an armed individual that is legally on your property to do if attacked by your dog?

 

[Nintendesert]

Damn. Not only will loud music get your ass shot. It will now also be used as justification to shoot your dog?!

Rough world for music lovers.

I'd worry more about the flying dog if you have an accident. That's way more likely.

 

[SlowSpyder]

The police did everything they could to take a benign situation and escalate it to the point that the cop had to use his firearm. At the very least those cops should be fired. I actually think the cop who pulled the trigger should do time for animal cruelty and be responsible for the cost of the dog.

I feel terrible for that dog... just trying to protect his master.

You conveniently skipped the part where the officer made an unlawful arrest, which precipitated the entire situation. I pray you aren't a cop, but I fear you are. In any case, congratulations for being part of the problem.

 

[twinrider1]

I'm all for free speech but there's a time and a place. Officer's appear to be questioning detainees and the dog owner starts yelling at them, like those street officers have any say in who gets hired, scheduled, etc. The YouTubers commented on not being able to hear over the loud music, I imagine the officer's could hear it too. Act like a jerk, get treated like a jerk.
You could argue the officers should have recognized the dog as a threat sooner...instructed the owner to roll up the windows further. Probably a lesson in staying aware of the whole situation instead of letting one idiot take all of your focus.
I think they could have handled the situation better, but what they did wasn't illegal.

 

[skyking]

I finally watched it. As much as I'd like to have outrage at the police, the dog owner completely failed his dog. He was dillyfucking around and forgetting about his responsibility.
