They certainly do seem quite happy to pull out the gun and shoot any chance they get. As if that dog posed a threat to their lives. They knew the situation was it was just trying to protect its owner, it was even hesitant to attack at first. Even stopped to sniff the ground, it probably only attacked after all because they were so damn scared and hostile towards it. And like all those other shots were necessary? Bet they would of done the same thing to a poodle.
I saw this earlier and didn't click and I wish I didn't here -.-. I read not to long ago about a cop shooting stray kittens in front of kids as well, i'm not sure if that was actually here or not >.>.
A. I fcking hate those f4ggots who are recording everything the police is doing. I see them here in Holland as well and I always have to resist the urge to punch them right in their fcking face. It is annoying as fck when someone is standing in front of you with a camera and is recording everything you do when there is no reason at all to record it. He was annoying the police officers on purpose and wanted to look cool in front of the people standing there. He made this happen, he shouldn't have acted like a 15-year old douchebag. Now don't get me wrong, I am thankful to God we don't have those messed up ''police officers'' you have in the U.S. over here, but this douchebag was asking for it. Next time, remember not to annoy people when they are doing their job. If he wanted to film them, he should have standed where that other annoying f4ggot was standing who recorded this film.
B. It's a fcking dog, get over it.

^ Really? Are you trolling or that retarded?.... Being recorded will cause you to be that upset? To the point of wanting to punch the people recording you in the face?
As a cop shouldn't you be setting an example and keeping your emotions in check? and not respond in kind with the same "15 year old" behavior?...Why get upset over something so simple as being recorded?...Would you get upset if it was the press/local news recording you as well???...The dude was 30 meters away and he said something to make them walk over to him to arrest him...OK fine but.. the cops didn't set up a perimeter where he crossed into...are they that easily moved by words?....That emotional?...
I also like your dumb comment that the guy got what he deserved as if he's the one who lost his life...Love how your whole argument seems to justify the dog's death under the notion of cops should be left alone to do their work....Kinda funny cuz I'd wager you wouldn't like anyone (cop or citizen) to shoot your dog...
People need to record these cops anytime there is an incident...every time...simply because these cops are too power hungry and crazy....But I guess living in your pampered and puffy society where cops don't do such things you wouldn't understand...so that's why you can spew crap..

I'm sorry, call me whatever you want but I am just going to drop my opinion. I'm with the cops side. This guy came out from nowhere, from somewhere, with his car and dog. He had NOTHING to do. He wasn't even walking by, he was on his freaking car. He just stopped, hop down with his dog, and started to douchbaggery the situation like "I gon' film these n*ggas" like he had the right to do. Even if he had it, he would become a suspect for just moron-in around. He was interfering with the police job, imo.
Then, okay, a dog trying to defend his owner. We know dogs are loyal and shit. Don't get me wrong, I love animals and this is really sad. It's true, the police shouldn't shot, but hey, they are animals, and that dog was going to attack just to defend his owner, just like he probably teach him. To avoid further attacks, plus the (assuming) low professionalism from this cop, he reacted to his own defense with the weapon he ALWAYS carries.
At the end, the guy who just got in the scene is the culprit. He didn't belong there, he came at the wrong moment, he tried to overcome the police and even take evidence...
^ Cant agree... We've all seen countless occasions where the police established a perimeter around their operations with people heckling them as they work and as long as those people didn't cross the police tape (or try to pass the officer posted at the perimeter) they were able to do their jobs.... If that many cop cars are on the scene and a civilian can easily encroach on their operation its all their fault for not containing the scene...
Another dumb reason to be on the side of the cops is if you notice just behind the dog before it attacked, in a yard are women and children...had the dog jumped higher when it attacked the cop could have missed fired and hit those women and children in their back yard...The first question that would be asked of them is why they didn't contained the scene..

Alright, blame the police for not putting any perimeter. Let the mothers and their kids join the scene as well as this douchbag, to worsen the situation. They all die, and who's the culprit? The police. But who's dead? The rest. C'mon, they also need common sense, no need to depend on what police do. This dude certainly had no sense at all by being present there. He was looking for it, imo, and the consequences are what it seems.
I dont see what the issue here was. The dog was attacking, they initially hesitated to shoot the dog, but once the dog lunged at the police officer for the second time and put his safety at risk he simply defended himself with the tools he had. Sure, the dog was just "protecting his owner" but a police officer can't let themselves be severely hurt just the save the life of the dog. At what point is it acceptable to defend yourself? Once it's already got one of the officers by the arm and has already caused damage? Do you expect him to simply let it bite him? If you kick the dog it will just make it more enraged, a gun is a simply way to ensure it wont hurt the officer. It's sad, don't get me wrong (I had to turn away as soon as I saw them shooting and I closed the video afterwards, its not something I wanted to see) but in my eyes I don't see anything inherently wrong with their decision.
I know how loyal a dog can be and I know what they will do to protect their owners (my 50kg german Shepard/Rottwheiler showed me first hand when it attacked our neighbour). If he didn't defend himself there was an incredibly high risk that the police officer would of been severely hurt.
Shit step back guys, tough guy alert. Anyone who thinks shooting the dog was necessary is clearly fcked in the head. So many police officers around and the dog didn't even pose a serious threat and yet it was shot without hesitation. Dont give me that bullshit about them being in harm...what the fck can 1 dog do against 5 humans?

Don't speak on people video taping cops, atleast here in the US you have the full right to video tape all interactions with law enforcement. It keeps the power hungry douchebags in check.
I think they couldve uncuffed the owner and have him restrain the dog .... Thats easy for me to say sitting here but formulating such a response on the spot and is not necessarily obvious, one of those things you gain with experience.
You all also need to stfu, endangering a human being for an animal wired to protect is dumb....

Yes.
I don't understand what you people expect the officer to do. Is he supposed to just let the dog attack him? I'm sure if I was in that situation I would do the same thing. Why would I let an animal harm me if I have a means to defend myself?

Same with some celebrities saying they don't want to be a role model when they do some stupid ass shit. Being and getting famous has different forms, every cop has made the decision themselves to become one and thus have to deal with everything that is expected from them by the society. It's not like they joined the law enforcement at age 5 when there is only good and evil and the police is considered to be thoroughly good.

At first I was like "an actual vid of a dog being shot on YT?", but then I realised that only applies to humans.

Lol, he's gonna have some fun. Just like the guy that killed all the kittens. Cops have got to learn at some point if you kill animals people will make your life hell.

The dog Just wants to get to it's owner.. and whynot. eh? The dog isn't doing anything threatening... the cop approaches him and then he goes into trigger happy Farking mode.

If you watch the video again, you will see the dog isn't simply "trying to get to it's owner". Around 3:16, the dog approaches the police officers and they choose not to shoot it. They back off and so does the dog. It hasn't attacked and, thus, not approaching a serious threat. But at 3:21 the dog lunges at the police officer and that is when he shoots. The dog showed its intentions to attack and while it was only "defending it's owner", the police officers were simply defending themselves.

Have you ever seen a dog attack someone? I've owned 2 pure bred rottweilers and a german shepard/rottweiler (based on appearance i dare say it's a pure bred rottweiler in this video). This breed of dog is incredibly powerful and their bite can cause serious damage. It wouldn't be safe to try and pin down the dog with sheer force and doing so would put them at risk. Once it leaped forward at them they had to make an immediate decision to protect their fellow officer from attack.
Defending a police officer who choose to protect his fellow officers safety? Dam, I must have mental issues.

Yeah I don't think uncuffing the man was realistically plausible. They whole event unfolded in about 8 seconds and during the entire incident their focus was on watching the dogs actions. As soon as the dog lept they didn't really have time to uncuff the man because the officer was already in imminent danger. It's easy to play armchair police officer and speculate about what they should have done, but when you're in that kind of scenario your first instinct if self defense.
Tbh I don't think the guy needed to be arrested in the first place, unless he was calling slurs at them or something. He was pretty cooperative when they were shackling them..

Well, I don't entirely agree. The officers threatened the dog. Seriously, It looks like the officer... wanted to kick the dog and the dog was only defending himself. "Not Aggressive" in any way.

This, he wasn't really interfering with their work and was still quite a distance away. It's unfortunate the officer didn't have a taser in his hand instead. I guess it was kind of a reflex to shoot it. And now he's gonna get so much hate for killing a dog. I don't think there should be so much freaking out over a dog (I had a dog once and he was poisoned by someone and had to be put down, then again I'm not so much of a dog person). But I feel bad for the owner though, it was painful to watch the vid.
I don't see there being any right way to deal with this case though.
