You Vick haters should put this cop at the top of your list, too.
Warning : This video is not for the faint of heart. You can jump to about the 3:00 mark if you just want to get to the point of the video.

When Keeping it real goes wrong. Whatever happened to minding your own business? I do feel bad for the dog.Comment

Police LT says:
"And I know it's the dog's master, and more than likely not going to attack him, (but) we've got a guy handcuffed that's kind of defenseless. We have a duty to defend him, too."
Really, just doing your duty to defend the man against his own dog?
A disregard for life if you ask me, there were other steps that could've been taken before pumping bullets into the dog for defending his "defenseless" master.Comment

There's no justification
For shooting the man's dog right in front of him. That's the cop's first recourse, pull out his firearm and kill the dog ??Originally posted by Dolomite View PostThe truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is - Winston ChurchillComment

I'm not defending the police. From life experiences I know how police are and how they behave. I don't go out of my way to get their attention and I do everything i can to stay out of their way.Originally posted by Eagle In Ohio View Post
If I see 4 or 5 police cars pulled over with officers out on foot I keep going. Thats just me. Should they have arrested him no, should they have shot his dog, no. But they did and i'm not surprised by that.
Things I try to avoid. The Police, IRS, X-Wife, Killer bees.Comment

I'm sure they sprinkled some crack on the dog too.500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.Comment

Saw this yesterday
Got really pissed off. The pig cop that shot the dog is Officer Jeffrey Salmon, who not surprisingly had charges brought against him for police brutality last year. Fuck cops and double fuck SoCal cops. Called the Hawthorne PD yesterday and cussed them the fuck out. Thanks to the video(s), in less than a day this often-overlooked local story has made it all the way to the national media spotlight. This worthless piece of shit cop won't get off this time, and neither will the Hawthorne PD...Originally posted by Eagle In Ohio View PostLast edited by ishimonster; 07-02-2013, 10:41 PM.Comment

For one, the dog wasn't exhibiting aggressive, "about to attack" behavior in any way. He was merely and rightfully concerned for his owner. Second, everyone is screaming not to shoot the dog, and instead of leaving it be the officer moves closer to the dog almost to challenge it and give him a reason to shoot it. The dog did absolutely nothing wrong. Lastly, not that it was even needed, but there are so many other NONLETHAL alternatives to containing the dog. I'm still in shock that they shot him right in front of his owner and then had the nerve to let it roll around in agony instead of at least putting it out of its misery. I know some say it's only a dog but if I had my way I would take an eye for an eye approach with that cop, fuck him..Originally posted by Eagle In Ohio View PostComment

Not saying it was right or wrong
ishimonster,
Why is it so easy for you to sit back and judge what the proper reaction would be in a reactionary situation. The people there don't have the luxury of reviewing a video and thinking through as to what the possible outcomes would be. Whats also alarming is the lack of judgement on the part of the dog owner.
1. Why is he choosing to become involved in a situation which doesn't involve him?
2. Why is his involvement to be challenging instead of document his concerns and take appropriate steps to portray them through police complaint, news outlets, or lawyer?
3. When police are at a stressful situation and challenged by a passer-by who has an intimidating appearing dog, why doesnt the owner assess that he is perceived as a threat and therefore remove himself like so many think George Zimmerman should have?
4. If he had any idea that he was going to place the dog in the vehicle and then re-engage with the officers, why didn't he secure the dog in a method where it couldn't escape and become a threat to people around him?
5. Why place yourself in a position where you will be potentially arrested if you don't have a method to care for your dog? Placing the dog in the car during your arrest surely leaves a potential hazard for all around after the arrest occurs.
Watching the video I think it is sad and heart breaking to watch an animal get shot and suffer. None of us are in that circumstance and really know how we would react but the dog appears capable of causing serious bodily injury to people and was moving toward people who would be at risk. The officer does not need to get bit in order to take action.
So sit back and judge because thats the easiest thing to do. But next time some guy cuts you off on the road or someone steals your property or a family member gets killed by a drunk driver, don't call the police or complain that they should have done more because you said "Fuck Cops". You apparently will never have any need for cops in your life. Funny thing in my career is those who most hate the cops are the ones that draw the most attention to themselves and also the ones who whine when they call us to help them.Comment
