Sad. But I dont' know what people think when they provoke cops, especially when we dont' know what was going on (there were 6 cars, right? I'd assume that meant something "serious", and that assault rifle the one had). I don't think he really 'provoked' them, but its like getting pulled over and saying "what are you doing? This is wasting my time" vs. "is there a problem officer?".
Just sit back and let them do their business. They are a bunch of guys with testosterone flowing, caring guns, obviously investigating something in that house....why do anything but stand far back?
What was he hoping to accomplish? If he was arrested what would happen with his dog??
I feel sorry for the poor, innocent dog, but his owner was an idiot.
- That last line in your post is right on the money.Ramanisky2
- irrelevant how stupid the owner was - was wrongful arrest and unnecessary slaughter of a dog.fadein11
- But fadein, if he hadn't have 'gone' there and backed off like the rest of the people the dog would never have been shot. The shooting was a result of the owners actions... simple.
goldieboy - The shooting was a result of the owners actions.goldieboy
- The shooting was a result of the cops actions Goldie. You are pissing me off saying otherwise. Would a British cop shoot a dog 4x?monospaced
- Nope, special unit cops only carry guns. British cops would have cornered the whole fucking area off. British cops aren't trigger happy.goldieboy
- But, most people don't fuck with British cops. Was the dog owner not asked to move on... Turn his music down etc?goldieboy
- Did he? No... He's a fucking idiot and as a result he got his dog shot.
goldieboy - Yeah, the cops a prick. But so is the guy. Whatever action you take in life - pissing trigger happy US cops off - you only have yourself to blame my friend.goldieboy
- yourself to blame for the outcome.goldieboy

Saw this earlier today and noticed, much like the video on the last page noted, the dog didn't lunge until the cop started reaching for him/his leash. I don't really care to watch it again to be more specific, but its kinda obvious that the cop provoked the dog, whether he intended to or not, therefore he can't really claim self-defense on that one.....
Kinda like reaching into an open flame and being surprised that you were burned......time to turn in the sidearm until you learn how to deal with real life situations.......

He hardly provoked the police - they are used to worse than that. Was so minor. Dog didn't look that aggressive - kept backin off - could have asked owner to calm dog easily. Was wrongful arrest anyway. Shooting a dog dead in the street for little reason - scum. The owners reaction as it is shot stayed with me all day. Glad its gone viral on the internet so everyone can see how these fuckers act.
- on the interent lol... really should reread my posts.fadein11

You'd think police in highly populated areas would be trained in how to handle bigger dogs. Anybody who knows anything about dogs would have handled that better

To All the Members of our Community
A video-taped event captured this past weekend, depicting an arrest and subsequent shooting of the arrestee’s dog by a Police Officer, has drawn significant notoriety. This Department truly feels in the loss of the Rottweiler dog “Max” and for those impacted by such. We, as a Department, as animal owners ourselves, and the Officer directly involved himself, all relate and empathize in this. This connection is equally rooted in our own canine programs our Department maintains in bolstering public service and outreach. Our own diverse uses range from not only patrol and detection dogs, but one of the only Law Enforcement-hosted “Service” dogs in the country.
In turn, social media responses have not only contained writer opinion but unfortunately some have been direct threats of harm to our employees. The reality is that our current investigation, and the inherent rights afforded to respective parties, prudently govern what we can and cannot publish or expound upon. Information and evidence is continuously being garnered in order to allow us to properly determine legitimate findings and conduct appropriate actions. Unfortunately, in the midst of this social media response, fallacies are being perpetuated and outright criminal threats are being made. In the public forum of various websites, Department employees have been mis-identified as the officer who shot. This has led to criminal threats of harm directed not only at City employees, but also at similarly-named public citizens who just happen to live and work in our surrounding region. This is intrinsically wrong in every way and unfairly detracts from the others who have professionally communicated with us.
I wish to reassure all that this matter is being addressed in the most appropriate manner demanded and afforded. I ask for all to look no farther than into our own Community for the true reality of our partnerships and efforts that we apply daily in safeguarding our citizens. The Hawthorne Police Department will be accountable to its constituents and to our actions - please allow us to fulfill such. We truly sympathize with the feelings and impact suffered by all who have witnessed this incident.

Colorado Senate Approves Don't Shoot My Dog Bill
http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2013/…"Senate bill 226, dubbed the “Don’t Shoot My Dog” bill, will require police and sheriff departments to provide online training courses for officers and deputies so they can learn to understand dog behaviors and recognize body language. This will allow them to better determine if a dog poses a threat and to control dogs using nonlethal means."
