Hawtorne, Ca Police Kill Dog

[razr390]

That's what it was, my friend had dreadlocks and hippy stickers on his car so the cops were trying to bust us for drugs, which luckily we didn't have.

Hopefully stuff like this can be recorded in some way now in this technological world. Sometimes getting arrested like this would make someone feel as of they just got convicted of murder when they're truly innocent.

Yeah I hear you. I'm not getting heated. It's just things like this that get people all upset and haired out and it's just everyday life. Shit happens all the time and it doesn't make it on the web or tv. Just ma 2 cents.

True, but when something makes the web/news, it pays to analyze. Something has to act as a basis factor in what we can do to prevent situations and outcomes such as the one in the video I posted from happening. Shit, I mean kids die every day in areas in Africa where the militia kills them if they don't want to do what they say, and people die of hunger. In the end I was also previously seeing what I could come up with if the owner decides to sue. Not too shabby of an argument if I say so myself.

Still sucks that a loyal dog died tho.

This.

I can't help but think my dog would have reacted the same way. Sickening..

Made me tear up a bit. The dog was protecting the owner cop should not have tried to grab the dog and should not have pulled the gun out. Makes me so sad to watch them shoot it but to let it suffer is inhumane, no animal deserves that of any type.

Cop should be held accountable and they should give the dog a service just like they give their K9 Units.

They are not told to shoot dogs but to deter them. Taser is what he should have done. In our county that is what we are told to do. Probably a freaked out rookie. But seriously why make that poor dog suffer like that. Shoot to kill don't just stand and watch.

Especially when the dog thinks it is doing a good job and doing something right

I'm a big dog lover and I wish I didn't watch that video. At the end of the day the owners action led to the death of that dog. I can't think of one cop that would think twice about shooting an animal that they feel threaten by.

It was a both party fault, but again like posts above specified, LEO's are trained to deter not to kill dogs.

The owner had the right idea in securing his dog in the car but forget one crucial step. Roll the damn windows up. This was the one error that contributed to the dogs death.

You can't or that is cruelty in hot weather. Then cops go and bust the windows open and arrest you for animal cruelty. Unless the car is running.

I just watched this video again and it makes me sick to my stomach. My dog is currently sleeping next to me as I type this...

EDIT:

Watched the video 3 more times full length. The LEO's with the submachine guns, most likely MP5's should have approached him and told him to go home.

UPDATE:

Hawthorne Police Department is being sued. AND I AGREE 110%

http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013...s-to-show-hawthorne-police-fatally-shoot-dog/

"Attorney Michael Gulden said his client Leon Rosby was watching and taking video of the Hawthorne SWAT team when police claimed Rosby was obstructing officers during the barricade."

The man never went into the barricade itself nor in front of any officer.

That's the last thing the cops had on their mind. They would of had him call a friend or a family member to pick the dog up or animal control. Now if you leave a pet in you car unattended that's animal cruelty. Securing the dog in the car would of prevented this tragity.

Not handcuffing a man when he was doing nothing illegal would have prevented this tragedy even more.

As people have stated there are things both parties could of done to prevent it.
