Dumb ass dog should have been trained better.

Who cares about some untrained dog that jumps out of car windows and runs at people? If a dog did that and ran towards Q, I'd kick that thing so hard in the throat and do everything I could to kill it. I'd be tempted to go after the owner just for making me have to do that to a dog, too.

I wish this were a training situation. I think this is simply a symptom of how California (municipalities around the entire state) deal with police disciplinary issues. They simply don't.
So you're going to see gross excessive force used at times and those officers will not be punished in any way

It's disgusting and I don't blame the dog lovers for being outraged. Unfortunately , this behavior is nothing new

If they can take half of someone's income, shooting their dog isn't that big of a deal.

Technically speaking, filming that cop could be considered obstructing an officer. We also have leash laws in this state, and a list of dangerous dog breeds that you must declare to your home owners or renter insurance & that dog is definitely on the list. I don't think the cop will have too much trouble from this.

Could be considered that by someone who doesn't know the law. It's not illegal to film them. Period.

Fact of the matter is they illegally arrested him and then killed his dog for no reason. If you can't see through the police bullshit then in my opinion you're a lost cause. Severe criminal charges should be placed on these two guys. A guy walking his dog took some video with his phone. NOW his dog is dead and he's been arrested. Tyranny at its best.

Since they were performing an illegal arrest, the dog had a right to eat them. They should be lethally injected for the dogs death alone.

How was that illegal. Also he wasn't under arrest he was being detained.

That appears to be wrong
The man was formally charged with obstruction so he WAS being arrested

From what I read, the dog owner was already sueing the Hawthorne PD and had been filming them as part of his case.

Also, the youtube video is edited. There's an unedited version that shows the dog lunge at the officer twice.
