Cops arrest man filming police, shoot his dog *update*

So a second video has been released of Leon Rosby and the events leading up to the shooting of his dog. Here's my take on this video -

- Dozens of bystanders are observing and taking video of the scene from a safe distance

- Rosby pulls up blaring "Lovers and Friends" by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, featuring Ludacris and Usher. Excellent choice.

- A police officer on a bullhorn is heard in the background, but the commands are inaudible because they are being drowned out by Rosby's stereo

- Rosby gets his dog out of the car and approaches the standoff/hostage situation

- A police officer tells Rosby "Put your dog back in the car and go," but Rosby cannot hear him because his stereo is so loud, so he asks the officer to repeat himself

- The officer again tells Rosby to "Put your dog back in the car and go," to which Rosby defiantly says "My car (or dog) is ok, and I can stay here and watch"

- The officer replies with "Do you want to go to jail?", to which Rosby again replies "I can stay here and watch, you want to take me?" The officer again warns him, "If not you're going to go to jail."

- The officers then turn their attention away from Rosby and back toward the standoff/hostage situation while Rosby continues to yell at police

- The bull horn is heard again telling the suspects something about their "last chance," but again this is inaudible due to Rosby's music

***The video then cuts out and resumes moments after Rosby is cuffed and just before his dog jumps out. In the first video you could see interaction between Rosby and the two arresting officers during the time the second video is cut out. Again, the conversation is inaudible because of the music, but police apparently give him additional warnings to leave the scene and Rosby is retorting with questions about why there aren't any black cops*****

- When the video resumes, the police have Rosby cuffed and are emptying his pockets when his dog escapes from the car

- While the arresting officer maintains control of the suspect, the third officer (the one who shot the dog) approaches. He calmly approaches the dog and extends his non weapon hand in an attempt to establish rapport with the dog and gain control. The dog lunges at the officer and the officer then pulls away, and again calmly attempts to establish rapport with the dog (meanwhile Rosby is screaming hysterically). This time, the dog is more aggressive and jumps in the air at the officer, attempting to bite him. The officer pulls away and shoots the dog in self defense.

I do, but I didn't start the thread so I can't mark it as updated for anyone who is curious about new information. This is a new thread discussing the new video.

Does the dog live in this video? Because I really don't want to watch the dog get shot again from another angle.

Maybe you could just tell us what the update is?
 
Based on that video, I'd say this clown is a fucking idiot. Sad about the dog, as it was just being a dog, but its death is 100% Leon Rosby's fault.

It's a clear view of the officer's attempt to control the dog without harming it, even after the dog snapped at the officer. Unfortunate ending, but the shooting was more than justified. People were outraged and claimed this cop ran over "guns blazing" and that he murdered the dog. Clearly not the case.

I pretty much said this in the other thread but I'll say it again here, this was 100% not the cop's fault and 100% the twat dog owner's fault. Dog was the victim.

Edit-Sorry, didn't mean to come down on you it just looked like the exact same thread as the other one with no new information. And I really didn't want to watch another video of that poor dog getting shot and flailing around on the ground dying. As a pet owner and dog lover it is heart breaking to me. :'(

No worries. In this version the video cuts off as soon as the first shot is fired.
 
Look at all of those people on the other side of the street who managed to not get themselves arrested or their pets shot.
 
In the first video uploaded that we've all been watching, when asshole pulls up in his car with the radio blasting, and first stops in the intersection directly behind the police cruisers, gawking toward the officers, at some point the guy recording the video focuses on asshole and his car (crops out the officers that previously were seen in the background) for several seconds.

During these several seconds, before asshole pulls his car forward and parks on the street, it was my sense by watching asshole's body language and listening to the commentary of the recorder, that an officer in the background (who could not be seen at this point) was communicating with him, probably using hand gestures, probably telling him to move along, get his dumb ass out of the middle of the street, turn down his radio, or some combination of all three, but I couldn't prove or be sure of it so I didn't say anything.

Well now we know.
 
I watched it with the volume lower, and it sounds like the first officer was just telling him to turn off the car. Tough to tell, though. Wonder what alkemyst's take is? Alky? You there?

He was arguing with another member in the other thread on something completely unrelated... which is pretty typical.
