Long before? Was he to put a dog into a car with no cooling?

It looked like a couple minutes a best.

Maybe you can kill that Level 100 Boss in 20 seconds, it doesn't work so well in real life.

20 seconds or twenty minutes, it doesn't matter. The guy willingly put the dog in a car with rolled down windows and no restraint. He and only he made that decision and it was before police intervention. You said They removed his control of the dog...

I understand why you don't want to man up and own those words given how stupid they are and how the video proves them to be completely false, but tough shit. THEY did not remove his control of the dog, he himself removed his control of the dog. What the dog did after the owner INTENTIONALLY left him unrestrained is 100% on the owner. Period. The video does not lie, only you do.
 
Why are some of you guys arguing that the cops were wrong to shoot the dog. You realize that the way laws are, human life and safety are valued much higher than the life of a dog right? Cops are trained to shoot animals that could be dangerous to them or other people the moment they feel threatened. They aren't trained on how to handle or restrain animals like some people said, because the most surefire and quickest way to protect human safety is to shoot and kill.

Basically most people don't care enough about dogs to get the laws changed, but only care enough to express outrage at incidents like these which accomplishes nothing. As long as the laws stay the same, these incidents will keep happening and the police officers will be in the right in the eyes of the law.

The cops started the whole thing and that innocent dog should never have been in that situation in the first place. There is no justification for shooting the dog.

Are you guys that keep saying comments like this joking? from start to end the dog owner was purposely antagonizing the cops and requested to be cuffed. Turn up the volume, watch the video again, and maybe even read his interview where he openly admits they had a reason to cuff him. Not to mention the dozen or so other people behind the camera man and off to the side that were actively using their common sense.

Im personally not a "how cops handle large dog breed expert" like some people here and everyone on youtube think they are so i cant really comment on what other ways the cops could have handled it. Im sure the outcome could have been better or even avoided but everything leading up to that point was 100% the owners fault.
 
My take on the video is that the guy is 100% the idiot in that for getting his dog shot.

1) He was purposefully antagonizing the cops because he was in a current lawsuit with the cops in the area over a different matter. So he was pissed at the cops in general.

2) The video taping the police didn't care about as the cops didn't go after all the other people recording the scene

3) The guy was blaring out his music on purpose to piss the cops off. This was making the job of investigation at the scene hard for the cops. In other words, he was obstructing a police investigation. That's obstruction of justice and a criminal offense.

4) The cops asked him to turn down his music because it was making things harder and top stop being basically a douche bag.

5) Guy antagonizes the cops more and asks them to come cuff him.

6) Guy sees the cops coming his way and puts his dog in the car with the windows still rolled down since he rolled them down the blast out his music. The dog is now unrestrained.

7) The dog, being a good dog, sees his owner being handcuffed and comes after the cops.

8) Regrettably, the cops are forced to put down the dog. Good dog, bad owner.

eh, at some point that dog would have turned on the police. At least they tried to grab it's collar before it snapped at them.

and i say snapped, because it just barked and jumped, standing it's ground.

It's really easy to sit in your leather chair and say they were completely in the wrong, poor "puppy", but until you have a big motherfucking dog like that circling you like a shark, it's actually a pretty scary experience.

Your cute pitbull or whatever big dog you have, is only cute to you and it's friends. When the thing barks at you and treats you like an enemy or stranger, it is terrifying.

If I were one of those guys, I would have maybe tried to TASER the dog or pepper spray him before you have to kill it. But that' sjust me, I'd rather take a dog bite and try to save it before taking it's life.

Dog's don't understand right and wrong 🙁
 
That dog looked like a puppy. He was just curious about what they were doing to his owner.

That cop should lose his badge over his reaction.

You forgot he was yelling "where's the black cop's" at the 2 cops that where in front of him, it's pretty clear he was not just there to film but to antagonize as well, poor dog paid the price for his arrogance, dollars for donuts he probably treated the dog like shit overall.

I think investing $5000 into armor for ACL would have you simply cowering on the sidelines.
 
He had been recently beaten at his home and arrested unnecessarily by the same police

Oh, and you were at the scene of that incident? How the hell would you have any idea about happened?

The story the police are stating is he had a long leash line and was using his dog in close proximity to intimidate the officers.

I agree with that statement. But, then again, that's only because I have eyes and a brain.

Most of the dogs aggression was due to the fact that although he was cooperating the officers were acting as if he was resisting arrest.

Lol, oh really? Did the doggy tell you that? I didn't realize Cesar Millan was on ATOT!

This is all available via the news coverage about it.

I hope you at least did some research into this rather than just be pro-cop knob slobbering.

The dog owner wasn't breaking the law and what he did was legal. Watch the starting where he just walks around and poses no threat.

Those cops were acting like idiots since they were on a power trip. If they had never arrested the innocent man then the dog wouldn't have been killed. The dog was no threat and they could have let the owner restrain him but no they had to act like idiots.

Sorry, the dog WAS a threat, that being said they could have uncuffed him for a min. or 2 and allowed him to put it back in the car, they opted to shoot the dog instead. Question why anyone would have a large-breed dog around an active SWAT operation, IFWM it would have been in the car with a 4 windows down 1/2 way..

did you just watch the video and disregard all the valid facts and statements from the non-children/non-proven-trolls. the people that keep posting "idiot cops" are either very young or have no clue in what they are talking about both on atot and everywhere else the video is posted.

seriously. just spend 10 minutes on youtube looking up people wanting to witch hunt the officers. they either watch anti-cop clips, world start hiphop videos or bronie/spongebob episodes.

someone they already told to vacate the area yelling "where are all the black cops" with an 80+lb rotweiller that just went to his car out of sight to put his dog away and possibly grab a weapon would make any police officer nervous.
 
Fear doesn't make one a coward, fool!

I know that, you don't. If you are that scared of a dog just trying to get his owner safe and not a direct attack...you will be fucked trying to put on armor with real swords.

just sayin'

I am always a bit scared in any physical confrontation.

What is available? He filed a lawsuit, so what? You have no idea what actually happened in that incident, yet you state it as fact. I hope you try to be impartial rather than just be an anti-cop douchebag.

so basically, if a dog snaps its jaws at me and jumps towards me, what should i do? im going to incapacitate it somehow, as i said before, hopefully in some less lethal means if it wont allow me to leash it without getting bit.

i agree the dogs only concern was the owner, but the owner was not being released to control the dog.

how this makes you question my ability to perform in a fight is beyond me.

I already posted basically what the cops' statements were and they were VERY different than what the video shows.

I am in no way agreeing how this guy endangered his dog. I am in total disagreement how the cops handled it.

When my house was burglarized (they targeted 3 of the same house models), my local police began questioning me daily and then giving me tickets in the neighborhood. So far all of them have been dismissed. One tried to shake down an off-duty FBI agent for his money in his wallet.

My burglary was problematic with insurance due to the cops making some pretty insane claims about being self-inflicted.
 
so basically, if a dog snaps its jaws at me and jumps towards me, what should i do?

Don't do anything to provoke the dog into dominance aggression (in the first place) would be my common sense guess. Obviously a stranger reaching over even a passive dogs head to grab its collar (or attach a leash) isn't very wise. This dog wasn't aggressive much less assertive until provoked.
