Justified?

Fast forward to 2:00 min mark, discuss.

That is bull shit, violations of every type of right.

do you think the officer was in the right to attack the dog what would u have done?

theres tasers, pepper spray im sure they could have been less lethal, definately a danger, i think if they would of took their hands of the innocent man for a moment the dog would have backed off it seemed to listen well

The dog wasn't even trying to attack the officer, if you watch it reacted with a little snap towards the hand of the unfamiliar officer trying to grab its collar. I posted on the youtube page and I'll post here again that the officer shouldn't have had access to a weapon, shooting a dog in that scenario is ridiculous. You can hear women and children scream all over the entire neighborhood after the dog gets shot and I'm sure it's one of those things that they're not gonna forget for their entire life. I guess it's all in your perception of the situation but I wouldn't want that on my conscience over a situation where the guy wasn't even doing anything illegal to begin with and the dog wasn't even attacking.

If the cop shot the dog once and waited to see if the dog backed off or not I think it's
Justified. It did lunge at the cop and he probably thought he was going to get bit. Immediately shooting the dog 5 times isn't justified but u have to be In his shoes at the time I guess

So much wrong here. Completely avoidable by all parties. The guy was obviously being a bit antagonistic, BUT, that is NOT illegal. I'm not sure where this was so I don't know if the city put in some BS anti recording law, but as far as I know, it is still completely legal to film openly, public events, including arrests. So I don't think they (the police) should have ever engaged the man to begin with. As far as the dog, it literally hurt my heart to watch that because that dog was only doing what a dog does. I think the dog was definitely showing aggression but as I prefaced, I don't think this situation had to escalate to that point.

Terrible

Looking at those houses, i'm 80% sure that its in cali, probably Long Beach. And things can go to shit really quick in LB. Really sad for the dog, but I guess the cop was trying to make a statement. Don't mess with the cop. I guess they got really annoyed by this guy barking at them when they are trying to do their job. See that BIG huge SWAT truck?? They send those out when big shit is going down and when that happen they don't need a smart ass guy pacing up and down the street barking at them (not the dog). Just let those cops do their job. Imagine if something really happen and the guy they were after come running down the street and grab this guy with the video camera and his dog as hostage?? It would have compounded their job. This is the same thing like when people slow down to watch a traffic accident and in turn cause another accident. I'm not justifying that the dog shooting was right, all i'm saying is if this guy with the dog would mind his own business, his dog would have been alive. I have family as cops and its very hard for them to put on their uniform because when they put them on, fools act like its a target. My cousins are great guys who's out there to serve and protect. They don't need a camera guy to be in the way trying to get a youtube video.

That guy didnt do anything that justified putting him in cuffs people have the right to speak their mind I could see them cuffing him if he went inside the area that was blocked off by the cops but he wasent!!! He was just walking on the sidewalk outside of where things were going on speaking his mind and recording if the police arent doing anything wrong why do they care if someone is recording???? To take it a step further that dude was actually getting in his car to leave when the police rolled up on him he didnt resist he put his hands behind his back and let them cuff him those cops need to learn to be more proffessional mabye if they did people wouldnt hate them so much and situations like that wouldnt get that out of control
