This just fucked up my day..... Couldn't watch past the first shot.... Poor fuckin dog..... Someone should send this to ceaser milan and get his opinion on whether the dog was actually a threat or not.... I'm gonna go drink till i forget that image......
Sorry but I can easily think of a lot more vicious violations of human rights than this.
God that owner is a fucking moron
Goading might be a strong word. He was standing there obviously filming, but he was a good 50 feet back from the cops, showing no physical threat. His dog was calm and reserved up to the point the cop started elbowing the guy in the back.
Its perfectly legal fr you to record police actions. More people should, because we damn well know that 90%+ of complaints against officers will be bullied down in the reception office before they get filed or there will be some kind of vendetta against you after that. If citizens don't stand up for their rights and force officers to at least pretend that they care about looking like they're doing their jobs right and legally, no one will help us.
Basically, what I saw, was a man standing up for the rights of citizens in the community and exercising his own constitutional rights. A couple tough-guy officers who didn't like what he was doing, an illegal detention without cause, an animal that was shot trying to protect its owner from being assaulted, and a 'trained' officer with some piss poor aim and/or nerves of jelly who couldn't even get a head shot on a dog at point blank range, causing it to suffer with 3 poorly placed shots (all from within 6ft or so), resulting in a suffering animal.
@ Growhi.
So you realy think there was a good reason for them cops to hancuff the dogowner?
Mind clearing us up on what grounds this seemed to be logic?
