I also wanted to add that I didn't like the way the guy jerked the dog's leash at one point in that second video.

I see that as cruel treatment, and enforcing some sort of dominance over the dog.

To be fair, a dog owner should enforce dominance over the dog, or else the dog will dominate their owner.

To be really fair, people shouldn't own animals they feel the need to be competitively dominant over.

He might have had the 'right' to use deadly force on the animal, but he was also carrying a taser, which can be used to stop an aggressive dog.  Seems that might have been both the more humane and safer thing to do, considering it was in the middle of a street packed with bystanders, during a swat raid.

So basically this is some stand off situation (hostage is mentioned by people filming)  that the cops are using a mega phone to communicate and this guy pulls up blaring his music and is asked to turn it down and doesn't and repeatedly antogonizes the cops by yelling things at them while all this is going on.

 

But yeah, he was just standing there filming like everyone else but was detained for doing so for no apparent reason.  

 

Take some responsibity.... your dog is dead because you wanted to act like an ass and that is why everyone was filming you and watching you instead of the standoff because you were more entertaining.

 

We can hear a little of what he is saying to the cops, but not what they are saying back to him. I'm glad you think the police can simply do no wrong. There are a lot of people in California who disagree with that view.

As far as the cops are concerned there are two separate things here. 

 

The cops that arrested the man were wrong.  Plain and simple.

 

The cop that shot the dog was doing what he was trained to do and with the exception of not putting the dog out of it suffering he did everything right.

Messing with a hostage situation? If that winds up being the true story on how this started then, IMHO, the cops shot the wrong animal.

Considering how many bystanders were around (you can see more of this on the second video, a lot of people) and the fact that the cop just erratically fired off what, 4 rounds? That was very dangerous on his part.

 

The whole thing was shameful, and letting the dog squirm about was even more so. I can't watch that anymore.

when I see the longer version of the video, it makes me wonder if the guy was involved somehow or something...it's weird how he's pulled up in the intersection before he parks and gets out...there's more to him being there than meets the eye in my opinion. 

 

sad that the dog was shot...that's a bitch to watch for sure...but I agree with those that said that the cop was justifiable in that action.  why the cuffed him to begin with I have no idea...but as I said before...there's more to it I'm sure.

I missed that part

 

 

There was a raid  going on and that guy was there blasting music and trying to start poo with those two cops. You can clearly hear him say some racist poo several times in the video trying to provoke them. The guy DEFINITELY isn't some poor innocent bystander who was randomly detained. There were at least two other people filming the cops and the cops didn't do anything at all to them. 

 

 

Yes, it sucks that the dog was killed because all he was doing was protecting his owner but I can't blame that cop at all for shooting the dog. It was lunging at them and a dog that big could kill a man. You can also see the one cop bending over to try to grab it's leash before it lunges at him again and he finally has to shoot.

The officer is well within his right to dispatch the dog. The dog was acting aggressive and in a manner that the officer should feel like he was in jeopardy of bodily harm to himself and the other officers. When the dog lunged at the officer, said officer was simply acting in the best interest of the other officers and potentially the owners safety. The man being detained should have taken himself and his pet out of the situation before it came to him being detained. No one to blame but the owner for putting himself and his pet in the situation to begin with.

People need to realize that the situation is very fluid and tensions/stress are at a very high level and self preservation is the number one goal for all parties involved. For every case like this that a pet is dispatched their are 100 in which the pet is not and lives to see another day.

Be thankful there are officers who do protect and serve and that is why we as citizens are living in a relatively safe environment every day. It is very easy to watch this and say you would not do anything with the dog when you were not there. Just like all of us here are human, cops also make bad decisions. Try giving the guy some grace since he is willing to be in dangerous situations every day and you are not.

One last thing, all of this could have been avoided should the dog owner have used his brain and not put himself into the situation to begin with.

didn't watch the video but here's my two cents.......unless the law is different in cali.....i would assume there are other ways to neutralize a angry dog with out the use of deadly force, it's a bad example to set. As a kid i ran alot from dogs whether on foot or on bike i couldn't imagine if i'd just turn around and put a bullet in every single dog that chase me, hell for most of the fact those dogs just ran at me because i was running lol. Stuff like this happens is sad but before we go all ape sh#t let's get the full detailed story first....just my two cents

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.

      In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
