I'll go ahead and post this. Cops arrest guy with camera phone & kill his dog

[bc]

Anybody else notice the dog stopped and took the time to sniff the ground, then approached and backed away several times before it was shot? I'm not a dog owner, so I don't know too much about dog behavior, but it didn't look that threatening.

My concern, is why the police randomly walked up and cuffed the guy. Maybe he hurt their feelings, but I don't believe that's an arrest-able offense (although, it IS California). I'm with OP on this one, and I think LEOs should be held to a higher standard. The police did something they probably shouldn't have (cuffing the guy on sight), and then they made things worse by shooting an arguably passive dog. (Note: I said "ARGUABLY" peaceful). Of course we don't know all of the facts, but from what I've seen, it looks like the officers are in the wrong on this one.

That's how I recall the event.

Well you know how it is, you have to wear a badge to video tape anyone apparently. Wonder what he caught on video that scared them enough to arrest him? He dident resist arrest, they dog dident deserve that crap. Its the cops fault for arresting someone without cause. Since when is it illegal to video police and say "civil rights violation"? Police officers like these don't deserve to wear a badge and sure as hell won't be getting any respect from me.

Somebody must have gotten a few tickets.
Some of you guys need to spend a little time in a rough neighborhood.

I was sick to my stomach after watching the dog die and wanted to condemn the cops at first. After thinking about it, I do understand using lethal force to prevent injury. And would do the same to protect myself and family from injury.
There was a lot of dick moves on all parties involved.

I'm going to jail with my ass beat or shot too then I guess. Roundhouse to the head of the closest one... I know the cop was within his right to shoot, but they could have easily allowed the guy to grab his dog and put him up.

Lol. No you wouldn't.

The dog paid the price for the mans stupidity and arrogance.If he had stayed back,and not drug his dog into it,none of this would have happened.

Maybe one day the cop will get his. Maybe from a dog when he's unarmed.
