One of the most ****ed up things you will see

Recording it for what purpose? He had no business approaching the scene like that. Probably was told repeatedly by the cops to back the **** off and didn't listen. Good grief. I swear some of you just want to be outraged by something.

Thanks for answering my question. Enjoy being outraged, you obviously relish it.

You're either trolling, too stupid to understand how the law works, or you don't mind the police violating people's civil rights. Unless the man was arrested because he'd just confessed to a crime, you're an idiot.

George Carlin had it right, we don't have rights, we have privileges. Rights cannot be taken away.

Well then please answer my question Mr. Non-idiot. What purpose was there for him to be approaching a potentially dangerous situation and filming it?

If the asshole got shot by some stray gunfire, then you'd be blaming the police for that as well.

Once again, if the police didn't want people that close, they have police tape just for that specific purpose.

Or tell people, like the two cops on the sidewalk most likely were, to stay the hell back. Or perhaps they thought that maybe people would have some common ****ing sense and not approach a scene like that.

The guy was being stupid, plain and simple.

There doesn't need to be a purpose that's satisfactory to some internet poster who goes by the screen name Bugeater. If his actions were legal, there's no justification for his arrest.

Since it's not illegal to film the police, it's not illegal to yell at the police, and he didn't cross any erected police barriers, what was his crime?

I don't know, perhaps you should direct that question to the cops that arrested him. All I know is what I see in the video, and that's a dumbass who willingly put himself in a bad situation, and not surprisingly, had it end badly.

If you're too thick-headed to see that, then I don't know what else to say.

I was going to make a joke about cops training for the LAPD...but the reality is, once that dog came out they did what they could to avoid shooting it. You can actually see the cops trying to grab the leash which would have given them control of the dog but they couldn't reach it. The dog lunges twice and the cops back off each time on the third time that's when they shot.

Looking at another story that's a 130lb rottweiler. They can't take the risk of that dog going full attack mode trying to protect it's owner. They can't know if that dog is trained to attack/fight. A dog that size can pull a person down easy, once you're on the ground if it goes for your throat it can be game over right there.

Shitty situation, no doubt but the cops weren't malicious about it. They tried to control the dog, they tried to back off but when the dog kept snapping at them they fired. About the only thing I wish they did was after then shot it and it was struggling put it out of it's misery. The problem is A that can be misinterpreted as malice rather than mercy and B shot dogs can be saved sometimes.

What scene did he approach? He was well outside the area. If police wanted them further away, that's why they have police tape.

Are you serious? There were other people also recording it, including the video we all just watched 20 feet away from this guy. He stayed on the perimeter, on the outside of the police cars. The guy was getting in his car when the cops started walking toward him. You couldn't have a conversation that you'd like him to move away for his own safety? You needed to cuff him? And could they not have had some awareness that the guy's large dog was in the car with open windows and may be a threat before it got to the point that they had to shoot him?
