Police shoot dog.

I am not sure why I watched that. I can repeatedly watch with no ill effect some scumbag get mowed down as he is shooting at police, but seeing that disturbed the hell out of me. Very sad no matter whose fault.

There is a big difference between having to shoot and having an excuse to shoot.

Maybe the dog looked like an injured elk that needed to be put down.

jk

A crappy situation all around. I'm not sure why the police feel the need to arrest anyone recording them. They're public servants working amongst the public. Why the need to arrest or detain someone with a camera?

Cali Cops are in a lot of these videos. Luv CO cops(for now)

Screw that guy, his civil rights bullshit and his dog.
Should have stayed out of the way, he was trying to raise a stink, and succeeded, but got more than he bargained for.
I've been told myself, play stupid games...

I've learned it's best to not choose a side in dog related threads [dig]

I saw that yesterday and thought about posting it, but seeing the dog get shot was almost too much for me. Something about shooting a dog erks me the wrong way. I'm not saying the cop was right or wrong, but seeing it was tough for me.

Seriously?? This comment is more offensive than the suffering of that dog.

There is a lot of fail to go around in that video. Cops could have handled it different but at the same time if I had that big ass dog coming at me I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing. Ultimately though that guy was looking for trouble and got himself into that situation. In the end he is culpable for the end result in my opinion...

Everyone acting like the cops are trigger happy and just looking for an excuse to shoot the dog can STFU. The dog ran up to them and none of them paniced and start capping rounds at it. They moved closer together and then one of them tried to secure the dog. Shots weren't fired until the dog made some type of aggressive move at the Officer trying to secure it. More than reasonable. The guy getting arrested knew that his dog would start barking and try to get aggressive and he should have secured the vehicle better. The dumbasses recording this were even saying, "Let the dog out" as if they wanted to see the dog attack the cops. Also, in before the lock.
