Police Shoot Dog, gunshots caught on graphic video (NSFW)

calamity said:
I see in the video that a big, mean dog escaped from a car and began attacking a cop, who then shot the dog dead. Pretty straight forward.

I agree. I don't see the issue here. The dog owner interfered in an arrest, potentially putting the police in danger. Afterwards they arrested him. His dog attacked a policeman. The cop shot the dog.

Why is this an issue?

The most important detail was that the police were in the middle of arresting a suspect held up in a house, who was potentially dangerous. The dog owner shows up, blasting his car radio. He was told to turn it off, since it was interfering with their attempts to resolve the matter peacefully. He refused. So afterwards they arrested him and his dog attacked.

Are you aware of some other relevant details?

[sarcasm] Since the cops were white and the perp was black this is obviously racism. [/sarcasm]

I guess I can understand how the community there might distrust the cops, but the Youtube universe? It's an open and shut case of a guy interfering with an arrest and stupidly not rolling up his windows to prevent his dog from attacking.

I don't get it either. The same people would still be outraged if the damned thing was mauling one of them.

HuffPo is not the only one. I saw this in the Guardian or something Brit like that with the same spin: mean cops blast innocent little puppy; stomp owner with jackboots.

The Guardian is an English newspaper, but it wouldn't surprise me. They bend over backwards to paint the US as this horrible realm of evil every chance they get.

lol, the guardian is totally agenda driven. I remember they were reporting Obama was planning to meet with Hamas and Hezbollah at one point during the campaign.

They don't have a clue about what goes on in the US. It's like they just thumb through random sources to find any information that supports their confirmation bias.
 
Seemed like a busy neighborhood, lots of people out and about.

Maybe the whole incident makes the police appear callous in general.

Stray bullets vs stray dog, wonder which is more dangerous.

the shooting seemed extremely tight and controlled. So what is the basis for claiming there were stray bullets, and on what basis do you advocate just letting a large dog attack random people?

how was the dog not being aggressive?

If the dog was being aggressive he would have immediately jumped on the officers and had a mouthful of them before they knew what was going on.

I'm a massive rottweiller fan, and it's especially sad that a dog protecting it's owner over such a stupid arrest gets shot but it seems like a dog like this should have been muzzled - a cop can't wait until it actually goes to snap with those jaws(!) to protect himself.

When is the last time a full grown man was killed by a dog?

The most recent in America where a full grown man was killed by a dog was on May 9th of this year.

So far this year. 19 people in America have been murdered by dogs.

In 2012, 34 people were murdered by dogs in America.

It is believed that all of these dogs were registered. So liberals are clueless since there is dog registration and licensing, why do dogs still continue to kill ?

What are the numbers when you filter out elderly women and children?

My point is that the police didn't really have a reasonable fear for their life. Deadly force wasn't necessary.

lol, yes, because there are no other signs of aggressive behavior from a dog

Just go away

1) deadly force isn't limited to fear for life. It also applies to bodily harm

2) that metric is applied to people, not dogs

It doesn't have to be about life.

A dog's life is clearly less important than a human's well being.

Im not risking getting ****ing rabies from some fool's dog, im not risking getting 72 stitches to keep some ****ing idiot's dog alive. I'd rather take the dog out, consequences of rollin' around with an aggressive dog.

The dog owner was making a scene.

"Making a scene"? Video tapping and walking down the street? If that is a making a "scene" then **** thousands of people "make a scene" by doing this.
Any dog would do this bark at strangers. Hell my dog does that too. Hell my dog does it at dinner when she wants food she starts to bark. Any dog would jump out of a car and come to its owner. It barked then stopped approaching the officers. Clearly they did not need to shoot this dog and this was clear brutality.

No, by blasting music at an active crime scene possibly involving an armed perp, while generally making a nuisance of himself ...

1) he did more than bark

2) this is why we have leash laws

I understand its illegal to play music at a certain level. But did he not comply?

1) we are talking about an active crime scene and where he was playing it at a level that was interfering with police work. And no, according to a witness he did not comply

2) His sighted behavior went beyond that, involving everything from crossing police lines, to what sounds like being a pest. And please keep in mind that this was all going on during a ongoing violent confrontation

Jumped out of a car and approached the officers? Wow... Shoot him!

Why are you being so dishonest? People can simply review the video and see you're completely full of ****.

Excuse me, but he was on a leash.
Click to expand...

He clearly was not under control in the video, which is the intent of leash laws. I'm not sure why you or anyone else would honestly try to interpret the intent of such laws as having a piece of nylon hanging from the dogs neck (though that doesn't even seem to be the case here)

PS what is your intent here? Is it simply to waste time or expose yourself as a buffoonish ideologue?


Ohh i have a different opinion than you therefor i am not objective...
Click to expand...

No, it's because your opinion is completely divorced from reality and holds no relation to the events in the actual video
