Film police... get arrested. And watch your dog get killed, too.

Admittedly, I didn't watch the video. Didn't want to be even more disgusted.

Not sure if the snarky comment I'm supposed to insert involves the typical dog shooting or that at least the cops made it home at the end of the day.

Lt Swain, however, alleges that the officers were also looking out for Rosby.

'I know it's the dog's master, and more than likely not going to attack him, (but) we've got a guy handcuffed that's kind of defenseless. We have a duty to defend him too,' Swain said.

...How can Rosby be upset?! The police were just protecting him from his own dog while falsely arresting him! He should be more grateful and thank the police for their protection.

Video is pretty upsetting. On the plus side, its gonna cause the jury to hand out big numbers to this poor guy.

Why would a man need to be protected from his own dog? BTW, do they make body armor for dogs? Poor Fido might need it these days.

This will never get a jury. Videos like this scream settle and settle fast.

Duplicate thread. Original.

Also, there's much more to the story, and the dog's owner was being a major disruption. He was not approached for recording at all. He was approached because he was interfering with the police's ability to communicate, which was a violation of penal code.

More and more storys about cops thinking they have all given power its time this shit stops once and for all. Fuck the cops! I have never been arrested for anything and used to have respect for these pieces of shit well no more.

Yeahhhhhhhhh, OK.

I'm sure his killer speakers from the RENTAL CAR were reallllllllly disruptive to the cops that were half a block away. Uh huh. It wasn't even disruptive to the people who filmed the video... much, much closer to the car than the cops were.

Could a less lethal solution been used? Perhaps. Or the dog owner could have been less of an asshole.

Sorry, I didn't realize 'being an asshole' warranted a false arrest and the execution of your dog. Shit, it's a wonder that I/my dog have never been killed, then.

That's fantastic. The only thing completely loyal and trying to help his owner and gets slaughtered in the street. How many shots were fired three? Four?

From what I can see and tell from the vid., it is justified. I hate crooked cops and cops doing stupid shit as much as anyone, but cops take obstruction seriously, and rightfully so. It can cause something to escalate into what we see here. If the dog's owner hadn't been a retard, he'd still have his dog. Just talking to a cop while he or she is involved with an issue can land your ass in jail. If the cops had been in the wrong, then you could justify a suit. I'm not seeing it, here. SMO

ETA - I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't used, somehow, to show people why they need to mind their own business when cops have someone detained.

I don't know about being a major disruption, but any disruption is enough for obstruction. A cop having to divert his or her attention to another ahole down the street could get them (the cops) axed. Not a good situation, at all.
