Hawthorne Police Arrest Photographer and Kill His Dog (NSFW)

[9erempiree]

I just don't know how a cop would kill this breed of dog.

This shit happened around here in Bay Area too few months back, 2 cops for some reason were trying to check out the house of some lady in her 50s when she wasn't even home, got a call about suspicious activity perhaps. The cops apparently went to the backyard and shot her dog after she supposedly "made aggressive gestures". The lady told the reporters that her dog was some 7 year old(basically in her 50s by dog years) female golden retriever that never even hurt anyone and was a "sweet old companion".

These cops we have are just the same psychos they hunt, lot of them bunch of trigger happy rednecks that will look for any excuse to fire their weapon. We saw how they handled the Christopher Dorner situation, shooting at old chinese ladies in their cars.

Seriously, send all these cops to Afghanistan lets see how tough they really are, bunch of power hungry ******* think they are tough shit because of a badge. I was surprised they actually hit that dog from that distance, their aim is usually shit in such dramatic circumstances.

Cop was a ****ing *****. So what if he gets biten by a dog? The bite is not going to kill you. There was no need to kill that dog.

I've been biten by multiple dogs before, and they usually just go for your arm. Hurts like hell, but it's not life threatening.

The worst part is that theres no repercussions for this type of behavior. This cop will get flack from the public, but his superiors wont even view this as a negative thing. The cop will go on thinking he did what was right and everything will continue the same.

The whole incident. You can see the SWAT truck in the background and the cops trying to secure the scene. You can also see the cop go for the leash twice before shooting the dog.

This is what could have happened:

Also, the guy wasn't "arrested for filming cops", he was being detained for interfering with a fcking SWAT raid.

Completely justified.

Apparently it was a hostage situation, this guy drove up blaring music, parked as close as possible to the scene and started antagonizing cops.

The dog is the only victim here. That mans idiocy and a trigger happy cop are both to blame. But hindsight makes it so much easier for us to judge them. I doubt any of them thought it would or wanted it to end the way it did.

Wow, if that is true, why would anyone do that? what is there to be gained from randomly antagonizing cops? Not that I dont believe it, because sometimes people are stupid, but wow, what a waste.

If you go back in the thread linked to a couple things, Seems the dogs owner is in a personal war with the Hawthorne PD, he has a lawsuit or two going on, he's been arrested a few times and has various convictions.

It wasn't random he set out to be a pest.

Not a dog guy personally, but this is absolutely pathetic and indefensible. Shit.

I really feel bad for the dog since it was just going by instinct, the dumb sh!ts here where the people, the owner just being a douche and the cops just not showing restraint and just not letting things slide.
