WHAT THE FUCK.

 

No question who was in the right IMO. Whole thing could have been avoided if owner had a lick of responsibility and decency.

 

Deal...

That was fucking strange...

 

Well its only been a few minutes and I have 1 so far

 

What part of "Police SHOOT Man's Dog" isnt a warning that a dog will be shot?

who cares, its the internet.. and its your opinion versus another persons. everyone cant agree.

And Chris said it earlier but why couldnt animal control have been called? You could have put the guy on his knees next to the dog? Just a question, feel free to answer it accordingly

Other side of killing, cop tasers dog. A little different situation but tasers seem to work

 

and the dog ran home! the video for this thread we have no clue where it lives, if there are people down the street. it obviously didnt subdue the dog. taze it multiple times?

and this one killed a dog with a taser. so then the argument wouldve been to pepper spray it. and if a dog has an allergic reaction to the spray and died, the bleeding hearts would say to baton it?


people seem to continue arguing because no one was injured. if the dog wouldve mauled an officer, what would you guys say then?

 

I agree with you until the final point. You can't say what if.. that's not the situation that happened therefore not the one we are discussing. What if the guy was never there, what if the dog never left the car, what if the dog licked the officer. You know what I mean?

 

A taser is only good if the prongs hit the target and if it doesn't there goes 30 seconds +/- to reload the taser.... Not to mention not every officer carries a taser.

 

thats the thing, the dog was out, the owner detained, the dog is pissed with no where to go and it sure as shit isnt going to back down. human safety> animals life (not all the time, but this time fuck yea). the dog was lunging and getting closer every time, how do you know when its gonna just go hulk smash and charge? no one knew and the officers erred on the side of caution. you do realize there is little time to react when you have 3 feet between you and an angry dog. blink of a fuckin eye. they dont have 4 foot sticks to keep at bay.

 

and after its tased, where is the dog gonna go?

 

Valid question, But I doubt the officer was really thinking that clearly in such a short time span to think "well where will the dog go if i do this?"

there's about 13-15 seconds from the time the dog jumped out of the car to where lethal force was used... Common sense dictates that you are going to protect yourself and everyone else from bodily harm as quick as possible.

I youtube'd and googled around what else could of been done, a taser would stop the attack but the dog would retreat and clearly the dog showed aggression so I wouldn't want the dog running rampant in my neighborhood especially if the whole town is surrounding the scene so I would be afraid of the dog attacking someone else... Mace/pepper spray wouldn't work but just piss off the dog, They have specific mace for dogs which officers are not carrying as they usually deal with people.

 

i totally agree with you, i was just saying its gonna run and who knows where. and wherever it goes its gonna be agitated and scared and madder than it was 2 seconds before.

 

I honestly am starting to think there might be something wrong with LAPD

 

The owner was 100% in the wrong on this one. The very first thing I noticed int he video was the retractable leash he was using, my dog is 50 lbs and I use a heavy duty web leash. That dog was at least 100 and would go wherever he wanted with a shitty leash like that. Then to put him in a car with the windows down in a situation where he knows hes going to be surrounded with a bunch of hostile people, recipe for disaster. That dog died because his owner is a fucking retard.

 

Well fuck it, I'm throwing my opinion out there. This is why i think the LEOs where wrong. First off both sides are Assholes, he was clearly trying to taunt the police, and it hurt their feelings enough to where they decided to fuck with him back.

Hindsight is always 20/20 so its easy for us all to say now here is what I would have done, but in the situation, and before knowing this who knows.

The guy clearly isn't doing anything to hinder the police's operations, his music was not loud enough for SWAT not be able to hear each other or for them not be able to do what they need to do. They went in the house, if this guy was such a distraction, they would of handled it before going in.

What should of happened, and again, hindsight, is they should of told him to turn down the music, and if not, right him a summons for everything they can find. There was no need for cuffs IMO, and this wouldn't of happened, even if the dog jumped out, owners hands would be free to secure.

Sad, but I believe this was about big ego's, and in the end, got an animal thinking its doing the right thing killed.
Also, the officer should not of let the dog suffer. If your going to.put the dog down, do it. What makes the video even worse is the poor dog suffering.

 

so, on a SWAT call, with a barricaded subject, an AR strapped to you, and nervous as fuck as it is.... you want them to tell a guy thats yelling and swearing at them "sir please hold on while I turn my back to you and walk 50ft to my police car for my 3x5 summons' so i can start issuing you a handful." you want them to take all that time to write out tickets for this asshole, while on scene of a SWAT call?

just wanted to make sure i was getting that right.

like Brunes said earlier, the dog was doing what it thought was right, and no one in here is blaming the dog. but, TWICE, it clearly lunged at the cops (see 3:16, and 3:22), they gave it plenty of opportunity and verbal commands to knock it the fuck off. I guess if a 120lb rotti was lunging at me like that, in that demeanor, I cant say I'd do anything different. the owner of the dog is fucking retarded, and this is what happens when you try to make a spectacle of yourself being a tough guy to cops, for the reason of showing off.

 

Yep. If he was such a distraction, and hinderance, then he would of been dealt with before even entering the house. My bet is Swat couldn't hear him inside the house. Also it was perimeter fail. Around here, the whole block is shut down for a Swat detail.

For instance, I've had to call many of news media to tell them to get their helicopters out of the area because officers couldn't hear. It was all handled before Swat would enter the house.
