Cop Shoots Dog [VIDEO]

Hawthorne police Lt. Scott Swain said. "And I know it's the dog's master, and more than likely not going to attack him, (but) we've got a guy handcuffed that's kind of defenseless. We have a duty to defend him, too."

I guess I did jump to conclusions VA, I apologize. Here they were protecting the man they unlawfully arrested from his own dog. I never even considered that in all of my cop bashing.

I'm not at all, and I'm aware of how short it took.

It's not an instinctual reaction to approach a big dog with your arm out and it takes about long to understand the ramifications as it does to consciously choose to act upon it.

Also, whether you considered him to be "trigger happy" or not is subjective and its irrelevant to me how you choose to apply that label to people. It's simply a word people use to judge the appropriateness of someone's use of force when less forceful options are available.

If I were walking around carrying my glock, I cannot think of a scenario where I would EVER shoot a dog unless it was actively biting me or someone else. Hell, my dog "charges" people every day at the dog park. And she does it with tail wagging and when she reaches them she always flips over immediately for a belly rub.

Once she got blatantly attacked at the park by a large male black lab. She wailed in terror, rolled over, and prepared to get eaten. Didn't even fight back one bit.

Vicious pitbulls my ASS.
 
So, the cops violate this mans rights... because they fear being filmed will expose them for what they are (Gestapo)... and because of that the dog - that was on a leash - is running around unleashed and frantic...then a cowardly cop prematurely pumps some lead into the dog because he's a pussy...what a sad state of affairs...I never America would look like this.

The saddest thing is that there are so many "law and order" conservatives and even "libertarians" who will defend this, and anything like it. "It's all the dog owner's fault for not turning down his music as ordered right away, f*ck that guy and his dog -- good shoot! "

Blaming the victim of government abuse has always been a common facet of fascism. Comply or die -- or your dog will get it at least.

I am so sad by this whole thing..and one of the reasons I will never ever call the police unless it is a medical emergency..I foster dogs for a rescue and I have my own in the house..and this is my greatest fear that sometime the cops come out and my dogs jump (they are labs..they think everyone is there to play with them) and the police shoot..
 
Also watch this video and why private police can and do work...they actually want to protect and server their customers..this is in Detroit...since police wont come out to some calls anymore..

Everyone who owns animals should think twice before calling the police. Cops would probably shoot a miniature Dachshund in self defense if it made a lunge for an ankle! I have a cat at home that seems to think the best way to get pet is to just climb everyone and everything. Cops would probably kill him for attacking them...

ok i don't wish the death of a family pet on anyone.. i still think they're just animals and not remotely close to humans/human family members in anyway, and i don't like their subservient attitude (well they are animals), but of course the same thing is different things to everyone, seeing how some people can be so attached to animals make me regret further my comments earlier this year to AF.

i have owned pets before, 2 birds, and my dad is a fervent dog lover, but i just can't feel that attached to them. In a way it actually gives me pressure to feel i'm responsible for some other life form and on their death the blame will be solely on me one way or another. When i own them, it feels like i'm playing with life, and it takes the joy out of it.

That's one of the beautiful things about sharing your life with a pet. The love and companionship you feel for them, they feel for you too, just in their own way. Which, you give a dog a good home and life, they will go out of their way in every way to show you how much they love you. It's one of the most rewarding things you could ever experience.
 
Every time I meet someone new, my sincerest hope is that they have half the humanity that my dog displays on a daily basis. That says something about humans and about dogs. I think dogs have been bred to be the best they can be and sad to say, humans not so much these days.

ya well i'm not getting into a debate of what humanity is and whether animals have them and to what degree, i'm just saying when it comes down to animal raising, some people like me feel pressure handling another life and especially the death of animals which is pretty much a one time too many experience for some of us.

some just don't feel like playing with life. whether you enjoy their presence is another issue. on that point, how some women can willy-nilly cut out a baby from their womb and call it their own mass of flesh, half of whose genes didn't even come from their own body, is entirely beyond me. It's not a clone of yourself, hence not your body mass nor a part of it. Do these women learn biology? Someone who can do that and feel no guilt, i don't want them in my neighborhood or anywhere in my eyesight, want nothing to do with them. ain't only a christian issue, no.

i have heard people talk pro-abortion that at the same time are animal rights activists, therefore every time 'humanity' is brought up about animals when in a society even an unborn baby can be non-human to some, my knee jerk reaction is always thanks but no thanks, not really interested in discussion of that direction even remotely.

it's possible but my first pets died on neglect, granted i was like 8 years old at the time, but it wasn't a very good experience. Actually, it was pretty haunting, but the memory was distant and i kinda forgot what it was like to see a pet die, hence my poorly thought out comments to AF. But i do think we have more important issues for our time, and problems for the police is structural

as for pets, when i am older and time is freed from politics i guess. not too much time to roam for a political junkie

Not gonna watch the video. Said it before but I'll say it again:

If ANYONE shoots my dog in self defense (imo) I'll grieve and move on. Anyone kills my dog for ANYTHING else, I resign from the Libertarian Party, take a piss on the nonagression principle, bid farewell to everyone here, and make headlines.

:(

That is just stupid. I can't believe the lengths people will go to to avenge a fucking dog. Oh, now I'm going to get dumped on for using the word "fucking" in the same sentence as "dog". Seriously, grow up and don't compromise your principles because of a dog. That's just idiotic.
