They seem to care more about the dog than the dead person laying on the street.
was going to say at least it was quick but then 2:20 happened :ohdear:
[QUOTE=THATCAKEISASPY;37272535]They seem to care more about the dog than the dead person laying on the street.[/QUOTE] Yeah because dead people can move. [editline]16th August 2012[/editline] Honestly, shooting it was quite extreme, but that dog was growling and running at him. I would've reacted similarly too, and if that was the fastest thing they could do, then they had to do it.
So what was with that guy laying in the street was he dead? Did the police shoot him? Wut?
well you could clearly see the dog was agressive to the lady who approached it, then charge directly to a police officer, then the other shot the dog, they just protected themselves, it pisses me off that some people fail to see this, due to the fact it was a dog.
There is a news article on this in the sensationalist subforum.
Sure the dog was aggressive, but I don't think shooting it was right, it looks like the cop got scared and shot. Then again I love dogs, so maybe I'm just being dumb. It was just sad to see it die like that.
I don't get it. The dog "attacked" the woman before the cop, in the first few seconds of the video. And all it did was like jump on her. She didn't look scared or anything. Then when the dog goes from the cop they just down right shoot it. It looks like the dog was scared and sad that its owner is either dead or something. This wasn't a job for the police it was a job from the animal pound.
from the news story that op just happened to neglect to mention [QUOTE]Star is still alive and remains in the care of the Animal Care & Control facility[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=peterson;37273242]This wasn't a job for the police it was a job from the animal pound.[/QUOTE] Ok, he'll just get potentially bit by a dog for a few minutes or so to wait for the animal pound to come get the dog.
I'm in fucking tears, they could have at least put it out of it's misery instead of leaving it there FUCKING YELPING! seriously i couldn't stand anymore of the video, the dog yelping was just too upsetting.

I hope all of you realize nobody or nothing died there, both the dog and the dude on the ground are alive. Sometimes read the article.
[QUOTE=Robbi;37273520]I hope all of you realize nobody or nothing died there, both the dog and the dude on the ground are alive. Sometimes read the article.[/QUOTE] But he [I]shot[/I] at a dog who was aggressively rushing him! That means NOTHING
Yeah fuck the fact that they're both alive in fact fuck the fact that the homeless man was dying on the ground, a FUCKING DOG GOT INJURED HOLY FUCK [h2]HOLY FUCK[/h2] [editline]3:33[/editline] ITT armchair officers who can watch a video and then spend several minutes contemplating and arguing about what they would do, whereas the officer who was actually in the dangerous situation had seconds to decide. Animals like this can be dangerous, especially animals belonging to homeless men who can likely not afford proper treatments, cleaning, grooming, etc. for their pets. Quit crying about the fact that an animal was injured. It lived, and frankly the life of the [I]poor seizing fucking homeless man[/I] should be more important.
People are fucking stupid as shit. Cops can't ever do the right thing nowadays.

Not to mention the dog did not just saunter over to the officer.

For all he knew the dog could have been trying to kill him, which if it wanted to, could do so relativity easily.
"When police arrived at the scene, Rodriguez said, they attempted to approach Stankiewicz, but the man's dog, Star, was attempting to protect her owner from being harmed. According to Rodriguez, Star had already approached another passerby, Larissa Udovik, who got too close to her owner. An officer fired a shot at the dog, leaving her and the sick man suffering on the street." It's just a confused dog, and it's not in any position to harm anybody. This was a stupid way to handle it. Stop bickering about the animal/human part, you have different opinions people get it.
[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;37273768]A person was dying in the middle of the street, you think animal protection would get there in five seconds? Not to mention the dog did not just saunter over to the officer.[/QUOTE] The dog seemed to be acting aggressively because it's owner was harmed, it seemed to be the only thing funnily enough that actually was caring about the homeless man. Most dogs do that, it's a natural response, my dog is a coward but it'll still run to the door when somebody comes to it and barks like crazy. That's because it clearly is protecting it's territory and the people who care for it, in a lot of cases it is nothing more then intimidation with no real physical intention by the dog. These cops are assholes, regardless if the dog was aggressive, all it did was run towards them, I didn't see it pounce or go for an attack, and I don't know about you I would rather be bitten then take the chance and take somethings life. He didn't even have to resort to a gun, in every case a gun should be a last resort, he didn't try to kick or force the dog away with any other means. Seems triggy happy if you ask me.

The guy was scared, it's called human error. It's a fucking mistake now stop being drama queens jesus.

Is it because your a more intelligent being? Well what if other beings of higher intelligence regard us in a similair context because we're a species of inferior intelligence. Please explain why, I mean you could come up with a clearly relative stance, that because your human your more inclined to care about human life that I can understand. Though from an objective stance what qualities of a lifeform you are has no baring on your right to exist, although arguably thats a debate for natural selection. Regardless find me and objective methodology and I'll listen.
Poor thing. It's good everyone involved came out alright, but the dog was clearly charging at the cop and he had a right to defend himself even if shooting it wasn't the best way to do so.
Honestly, it seemed like the dog was just protecting it's master. For reference, dogs get really frazzled when they are around firearms, knives, and people that are much more intimidating than they are. I'd say it was pretty excess to shoot the dog, only because I've been attacked by a dog before and I managed to fight it off of me with just my hands. I guess it's a pretty pussy thing to put someone or something down that clearly isn't able to kill or permanently maim you. It's kind of like pulling a gun on someone when they want to fist-fight with you.
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;37273908]Waiting for a dog to pounce is like waiting for a mugger to stick his knife in someones kidney.[/QUOTE] The point isn't that he should take precautions, he should be all means. But shooting it needlessly like that, it was stupid. If it continued to be aggressive and clearly was biting his clothing and the like after he forced it back then excessive force may be necessary. The dog didn't even move towards him at a fast pace, yet he shot it like some monster had just jumped out of the blue.

It's self preservation, he felt threatened, so he did something about it. It's sad that he shot the dog, but in a similar situation, I'd rather not chance my life on the assumption that the dog wasn't going to try and kill me.

Dog charged him, got shot. Shit happens.
