[QUOTE=Mkt778;41340362]If my father were in that position (which he says he HAS been in similar ones), he would of OC sprayed it which is what you're TRAINED to do if an animal poses even the slightest threat. People on the internet shouldn't be taking it into their own hands to 'INTERNET JUSTIC, HURR' the officer. The dept will slam him with hefty fines or suspension. Fears of losing your [b]JOB[/b], Thats punishment enough, really.[/QUOTE]I believe in the video you can clearly hear the dog getting sprayed as it approaches the first time. Then it circles, and the owner said something, the dog then approached again much more quickly and jumped up so the officer opened fire. I'm really going to have to blame the owner on this one, he was being an asshole and his dog died because of it. I don't think the officers involved should be punished because they didn't do anything wrong, really. It's unfortunate the whole thing went down like that. :/
[QUOTE=wraithcat;41339318]No offense, but when you have an agressive dog jumping at you, you don't know if it's just jumping at you or planning to attack. Notice that the dog was only shot after it directly jumped at the officer.[/QUOTE] Correction. The dog was shot AFTER he jumped at the officer and then went down to sniff the ground. He was not attacking the officer when he was shot.

My point being, the dog had already had his chance to attack the officer once, and did not do so.

[QUOTE=Xystus234;41340218]The problem with this is that he wasn't even disrupting anything, he was just standing and video taping. I don't know where you got the fact he was disrupting the operation.[/QUOTE] And it sounds like you only watched the second video, 'cause that's exactly what people keep saying. In the first video he's obviously trying to be disruptive. People only watch the second video 'cause that's where the sensationalism is. The 'harmless filming', the arrest, and the shooting.
[QUOTE=Mkt778;41340362]For 5-6 police cars to show up with officers holding mp5's, SOMETHING pretty bad in that area would of been up. For the guy to show up, blast his music and record the officers while they're working would of been pretty annoying. The police would have warned him SEVERAL times to stop recording before they would of decided to arrest him. They CAN do that. [/QUOTE] You can be arrested for anything, the question is whether or not it can be justified. There's nothing wrong with filming public servants on a public street, no matter how many times they warn you. Especially if you're doing it from half a block away. Playing your music at full volume and not complying with an order to turn it down like an asshole? Sounds like a good way to get acquainted with some handcuffs.
tbh I'm happy something has been done but the death threats were just too fucking much. Oh well it was to be expected, there wil always be people thinking the extremes are good.

It's clearly during a lunge at the officer. Now the cop panicked and fired off multiple follow up shots. But the first shot happened clearly during an event that could be qualified as an attack or which seemed to be an attack from the dog.

Even then the lunge, was the dog telling the cop (who was assumingly trying to grab its leash, which again, retard of the year award) to back the fuck up, it was nowhere near even biting the officer. Then the shitstain of an officer, fucking pussies out of mercy killing the fucking dog after firing several rounds into it and leaving it twitchign and dying on the floor.
I guess on on one hand, it was sort of the guy's fault for being generally distracting and the police had every right for his suspicions, however how did the dog even escape from the car? Sure it looked playful or even possibly concerned for its master, but it isn't generally safe to assume that all dogs owned by people are controlled, with that said, i thought the whole shooting was a bit of an overkill...though in their defense, a potentially aggressive dog could be an occupational hazard in their line of work. As far as im concerned, the guy did nothing wrong except for potentially obstructing whatever they were doing, if they weren't so busy detaining him, he could've at least calmed his dog down.

[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;41368655]Do you even know what you're talking about or do you assume you have far more experience than a fully trained police officer doing their job?[/QUOTE] Considering I'd never take an aggresive movment towards an animal that's slightly and understandably pissed off, thus putting it in range to snap at me and potentially (although didnt happen in this case) grab me, I'd say yes, at least in this regard. I may not be trained in policework, but common fucking sense tells me that moving closer to an aggressive animal is a fucking stupid thing to do. Think I'm wrong? Go find a dog, piss it off, then aggresively step towards it and reach to grab it and tell me what happens. You may want to pre book a ambulance before you do so.

We'll talk when a dog bites off your hand because you thought he wouldn't bite you or because he wasn't even near of bitting you despite having his jaws next to your hand. Also, god forbid someone in a situation of stress suddenly defended himself from what could be a [b]dangerous [i]dog[/i][/b]. A dog. Seriously. No really, I like it how you call him a "shitstain of an officer" from defending himself from what could be a possibly dangerous dog, that dies from his defense. Let that sync in. You called an officer a "shitstain" for shooting what could very well be an attacking dog. You certainly got your priorities straight there. You should really be a cop, since you apparently evaluate situations much better, have nerves of steel and the skill of a marksman. Amazing how people are sending someone death threats for killing a fucking dog. Amazing.
