Ca cops shoot and kill dog

[kx250rider]

The cops messed up. That was total garbage to shoot that dog. He wasn't viciously attacking anyone.


I hate dogs, but that wasn't right.

Well-said. I've been following the story, and the whole thing stinks of White Cop-vs-Black Citizen abuse. The cops had one out for the dog owner, since he had filed complaints in an educated manner, against the Hawthorne P.D. for racist practices. So they're afraid of him and his lawyers, but scared of a dog that hasn't even done anything but bounce around trying to get back with his owner? COWARDS! just COWARDS!!!!!!

It may not be obvious from the footage, but it doesn't look like he crossed over a barricade or otherwise willfully disobeyed an officer. It doesn't look like they said shit to him until one of em approached. "IF" he was warned that he was crossing the line into a police investigation and he willfully disobeyed the warning than this situation is on him. Just taking video of a police operation is "not" against the law nor do cops have a right to stop it. Basically they provoked the dog then for no reason so while the officer in the end "may" have been justified in the shooting of it...the situation to begin with shouldn't have happened. And for that they will be liable.

Unfortunately, the DA's don't prosecute cops for the most part in California. All shootings I know of have been justified, no matter what the circumstances. The Kelly Thomas incident is the only one I can come up with where the DA,Tony Rackakas, put criminal charges on the cops who beat Kelly Thomas to death.
So the city and county will ask for a settlement and the taxpayer will have to clean up this mess....

Like California has money for paying settlements.....

BTW ,the cop (Jeffrey Salmon) that shot the dog already had a million dollar settlement to his name for kicking a man while handcuffed and maliciously prosecuting the victims to cover up his brutality.
It's time for this guy to be put on the unemployment line


Hawthorne Police Department Pays $1,000,000 To Settle Police Brutality & Corruption Lawsuit

IRS, NSA, Police Brutality, Fast and Furious... the list goes on and on.

Yet people line up to vote more power to the government. People deserve the government they get.

Not taking the cop's side here, but for those of you not from So Cal - Hawthorne isn't a very nice place. You know all those gang movies you see about LA? or Gangsta rap from the 90's singing about Normandie and Crenshaw? Well, Hawthorne is right there with Watts, Inglewood and Compton and South Gate, so the cops who work Gangland are a little more hardened than some of the small town cops you may be picturing.
