well, it has been reporting that he was blasting his music at an active crime scene and refused to turn it down when asked (this according to a neighbor). And while I likely hate cops mopre than you, I can recognize why having some asshole specifically causing such a commotion at an active crime scene could be defined as "disorderly conduct", "interfering with an investigation", or "disturbing the peace"
I'm really lost on why anyone would ignore these rather glaring elements to defend this ****-dick (the dog is just as capable of attacking a child or elderly person), but here we are
I would agree with you if the fellow was inside the barricades which to my mind - and I'm not cop so I'm speculating here - defines the limits of the crime scene.
You have to obey the lawful orders of the police. That's not in question. And I agree he should've lowered the radio but that doesn't appear to me to be lawful order in this case.
I have a huge problem with "disorderly conduct" style offenses because they're very often used abusively. I also have in the back in my mind that the cop may well have shot the dog simply to punish the guy.
