Why should I or any one else, especially a cop, give a **** about controlling a strangers aggressive dog? Keep them under control yourself or you know the consequence of being a dumbass.

People being surprised by a cop eliminating the threat from a DOG by using lethal force is just mind boggling to me.

This idiot tried to be cool and interfere with cops doing their job. He rolled up with windows down, blaring music, and yelling at cops like 4 houses down the block trying to be a badass. When the cops finally got tired of his shit they cuffed him and because his windows were down his dog jumped out and got shot... What was he trying to prove? What was his stake in being there? What did he gain? Just another senseless animal killing because of a stupid ass owner.

Here's another idiot who tried to keep his idiocy confined to my rep page. Learn the whole story, idiot.

Exactly. This isn't about some tough guy bullshit. Dumbass dog owner didn't control their potentially dangerous animal. Nobody should expect any cop to ignore their responsibility of controlling the situation, just to be responsible for somebody else's animal that's out of control.

The guy could have easily walked away, for sure, but what in the balls did they arrest him for again? Heckling? Noise violation? Not cleaning up the dog's shit?

It's not like he was anywhere near the scene in question, interfering with any police work, or adding tension to an already-tense situation. In fact, this didn't even seem like the site of any action whatsoever. The first two cops in the video hop out of the car and make their way up to the house at a snail's pace, then the two that arrest the guy can be seen lolligagging around, probably talking about what they're going to order at Chipotle in 20 minutes, on the sidewalk for quite some time while the cameras are rolling.

You **** around with cops and you get burned? Thats a surprise?

Looks like to me that the dog was defintely a threat. It wasn't just curious. It didn't like what was happening to its owner. It didn't weigh 7 lbs. It could have done serious damage to a cop.

I'm the first one to jump a cop's ass for abuse of power. Well, the first reasonable person that doesn't just hate police officers in general that is. These guys didn't do anything wrong. That dude was absolutely obstructing with his music that high, and jacking his jaw at them while they were right in the middle of what looked like a drug bust. Those are dangerous as hell, and you never know if there's going to be a gunfight involved. He was a distraction to them safely doing their job, and got what he deserved. The dog however didn't. He got a shitty owner that cost him his life, instead of someone decent to take care of him.

I'm an expert body language-reader and this scene was not one of high tension.

The dude was just trying to be edgy/cool for the other cameramen and the cops were trying to establish dominance/be dicks.

I'm still waiting for you to come do a ride along

Dog owner is a dumbass. If you see five police cars and an armored vehicle it doesn't mean you should park, loiter about and involve yourself. What did he think would happen when he disobeyed a lawful order and antagonized the police?

He's a dumbass for following the police around fishing for a lawsuit. It was in the article about this incident. There was more before this video started. He arrived and was asked to turn down his radio and still didnt. It's insane to try for a lawsuit.

And if that dude wasn't trying to be cool, his dog would still be alive.

Just found this in my emails;

On June 10 in Lorain County, Ohio, North Ridgeville "Humane" Officer Barry Accorti responded to a call regarding a feral mother cat and her five kittens living in a woodpile in a homeowner's backyard. He told the homeowner that shelters were full and that the cats would be going to kitty heaven. He then pulled out his gun and shot to death the five 8 to 10 week-old kittens.

We are told that he discharged his gun approximately 15 feet from the backyard patio. Never did Officer Accorti let the woman know that he would be killing the kittens on site or that he would be firing a gun in her backyard. The woman ran into the house to shield her children who were screaming and crying. The mother cat is still alive.

Not only are there more humane ways to put down feral kittens, the poor judgement Accorti showed by firing a weapon in a backyard surrounded by other homes put people in danger. Allegedly Accorti told the woman that he isn't suppose to do this, but it was justifiable.

I live in Lorain County and this is not the type of behavior or poor judgement we expect from our police officers. Our citizens are outraged that this happened yet Police Chief Mike Freeman has already cleared Accorti of any wrongdoing. We find that unacceptable. Officer Accorti should not continue his position as a humane officer with the North Ridgeville Police Department.

you can google several articles re this report -- it's legit. this god damn country is run by idiots. I understand the job of cop is going to attract idiots, it just disappoints when these idiots do so wrong and the folks in charge do nothing. idiots everywhere in charge.

In THIS particular case, this guy is an insensitive prick.

ya, agreed.

but that dog wasn't going to bite any of those officers -- they overreacted imo.

Remind me not to let most of you ****ers anywhere near my dog.
