And people always get so fething emotional over dogs.

I actually hate dogs. But this could of been completely avoided. Guy Should of known better to taunt armed officers tearing up the neighbourhood.

It's claimed that was what he was doing right? I couldn't hear a word the guy said.

It's sad the dog was killed but shouldn't it have been on a leash in the first place?

Cops are much like dogs.

Some are nice.
Some are indifferent.
Some want to bite you.

And so, because you never know if chief wiggums is going to smile at you or beat you down because he's having a bad day and because you "resisted arrest", why would you naturally want to trust any cop? I find it perfectly acceptable to not trust a cop until you know them, much like you would a dog. Until they show you that they are nice, treat them like they're about to give you a very bad day.

Also, the concept that cops only screw with bad guys is laughably naive.

It was, but he didnt secure it.

Rosby has filed a complaint against Hawthorne police for killing his dog, one of six complaints he's filed in recent years for harassment and racial profiling, according to Daily Breeze.

The story says he also sued the police department before, saying officers broke his rib when they responded to a domestic violence call. Rosby has convictions including battery and driving under the influence, according to Daily Breeze.

So the guy sounds like an donkey-cave that created a situation wherein the officers were forced to shoot his dog. The video clearly shows the officers attempting to deal with the dog without lethal force at first, and are left with no other choice.

Why? Jesus, I really dont get the hate for officers.

It's even weirder when combined with the love for soldiers.

The military doesn't write you speeding tickets, beat your kid and shoot your dog. (They send us else where to do the last two to furinners) also we can't abuse our authority over the civilian populace as we in fact have none.

I kind to have to side with the cops.....I deal with the unknown on my deployments that could get me wounded or killed....LEO's that deal with it year after year....of course when I get into incidents it involves quite a bit of lead getting exchange...or something goes "boom"....everyone not getting the LEO's didn't move till after he walked back from behind the LEO's vehicles? Only a few here can see it and understand what he did was wrong? Or is it being ignored because it doesn't fit your perception?

This video is disturbing. I don't really want to focus on the police shooting the dog because to my eyes the events that lead to the shooting should not have happened. The individual they arrested was one of at least 3 filming the raid. He was in no way disrupting the police's ability to do their job. 2 officers carrying submachine guns march up and arrest him for no apparent reason (he complies). I can't think of a dog that would not have had the same reaction to their owner being surrounded.

He was blaring Usher on repeat out of his car at a SWAT barricade while the police were trying to deal with an armed robbery. He had no business being there in the first place.

Aza has it 100%.

The dog owner needed to secure the dog and there would have been no issues.

The dog owner was wrong, the cops had no other choice.

This thread surprises me a bit. I'm shocked at all the hate for police officers. SOME cops are dill holes, MOST are not. The vast majority of police are fine people that truly uphold the laws,not these asshats that you lot are talking about and showing us some YouTube vids as proof of them all being evil. The times I've had to call on the police had typically been good examples of law enforcement, and the only time it wasn't I asked the officer to ask for a state trooper to be present and all was well after that.

I think you lot need to stop watching YouTube for reasons to hate on a group. Weather that cop was good or bad, and weather or not the owner of the dog was at fault, the fact remains that a large, scary looking dog jump at the officer... twice, the last time with obvious intention to bite said officer. In that moment, the officer had good reason.

Let's stop hating on cops just cause of one possible donkey-cave

Regardless of youtube, I can't help but be nervous around people who could shoot me without repercussions.

I'm more than willing to say that these police weren't looking for trouble, and may even be in the right for the most part. That still doesn't change the fact that the above is a fear that exists in my mind every time I see a cop behind me. It might be irrational.

Let's please try to limit painting entire careers and/or communities in a negative nature--as there is a good chance that either Dakka has users (Or family) that happen to be in that career field. As always, let's try to be objective and judge others by their conduct--rather than their profession. Thanks.

No not irrational, I get afraid when a cop is behind me as well, but that's because I done want to get pulled over. It's definitely NOT because I'm afraid the officer might shoot me. Because, that's what cops do apparently, you know, just shoot people

Only in New York, Chicago, parts of Los Angeles...

Didn't NYPD admitted that's how they train? A hail of gun fire to bring down the "perp" Also have to take into account how often these LEO's have to draw their side arms in response. Seriously think train, train, train, and more training needs to be implemented.

Yeah spending more then a day on the range every 6-12 months would be nice.

You can't say that pointing a smartphone while shouting comments is equivalent to planting IEDs and sniping at patrols.

Ignore the fact he walked behind the LEO's vehicles? Miss the part before he got arrested the one cop was pulled back like I posted earlier? I would have done the same like I posted earlier. Do not walk into my "AO". Even the bystanders knew he was screwing up.

Last year, Montreal cops managed to kill two bystanders when they attempted to shoot down a hobo armed with a shank standing 20 feet away from them.

There's a reason cops aren't trusted/admired. The capacity to kill should never come with so little proficiency.

I heard about that actually. It's like they practically were waving the guns around like Orks that have gotten very excited.

Orcs might have a higher BS then the NYPD, what was that last big one? Shot eleven people and none of them were the perp? Talk about shooting "minute of barn door".

Okay then.

Well, it happens. Remember that time those cops shot the women during the Dorner manhunt because two women in a blue Toyota look just a little too much like one guy in a grey Nissan?

Sure, it's one time, but it was also the first thing that came to mind. I don't exactly go out of my way to research this stuff, because it's not particularly pleasant and would only fuel my paranoia.

I might also point out the thread where the police occupy the guys house against his wishes without a warrant and then beanbag him and his dog to submission.
