So people are mad that the guy was filming the cops? Why shouldn't cops be filmed? They are public employees paid with taxpayer monies and you can't justify arresting someone for filming them. THis is your typical power trip by the police officer to show how big he is. And then killing the dog was the last straw for me.
Typical braindead meatheads joining the police force...
The type of people that are attracted to the power of being a police officer are the last people who should have it. Most of the cops I've ever interacted with have been creeps.
It's not illegal to film cops as long as you are not interfering in their duties.
edit:
i guess post was deleted.
StocktonFan felt like a dumbass and had to delete his post. Not its not illegal to film a police officer in California.
thats my hood
Nope i guess not in Cali, but in 12 states it is.

Don't all officers have batons?

The guy wasn't JUST filming the cops though was he. Dozens of people were filming the cops and weren't detained. Tell me what you think he did differently from the people that were filming him.
The cops handled this poorly, but that guy was a f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking idiot. He couldn't have known it would end up the way it did, but he should be aware enough to know you don't insert yourself into a situation where there are half a dozen cop cars and an obvious arrest or raid going on.
You know you're in the hood when blacks all roll in to video tape a situation... MYOB assholes, and more often then not "worldstar" is yelled as if it's going to propel them into stardom.
but maybe that's the hope they need to get out of that shithole they call home.
[QUOTE=DMV2]How did he insert himself into the situation when he was 5 feet away from the cop cars, and a good distance from the cops?[/QUOTE]
You mean like when he is yelling out to the cops, and then puts the dog back in the car and walks towards them? Why did they come up to him and not one of the dozen other people? Consider him inserted...
Go to about 2 minutes, you can hear him yelling but not what he is saying. Video skips a bit forward at 2:03. Just before he puts the dog in the car you can hear him say "civil rights violation."
Watch the other video, before the first one. You see him driving past then get out of his car. Something happens, apparently but I'm not sure, he was told to turn his music down.

[QUOTE=DMV2]So he's an annoying heckler. They had a much bigger problem at hand. 1:53 mark, they walked towards him first before he put his dog in the car. Not sure what the reason was when he was clearly filming like the rest of the people.
So they decided to put out their big guns because a heckler and his dog were annoying them. Weak ass cops!!!!!
Comedians >>> cops when dealing with hecklers.[/QUOTE]
Well...

He walked towards them because they were clearly coming over to talk to him or arrest him. What is he supposed to do? run away from them?. Basically all he did was call out the officers on being idiots - which they didn't like - they decided to illegally arrest him and then shoot his dog.
He should sue the department.
[QUOTE=Bandito]he was scared the dog was going to bite him. What did you expect him to do? Wait to get bitten? I would have done the exact same thing. It's me or the dog. It was completely justified.[/QUOTE]
Firing a shot into the air or in whatever safe direction would scare the dog away without even a semblance of a doubt.
again,
He shot the a dog because he thought the dog was going to kill or threaten his life.
