Please be Aware of the graphic content of the video . Also Note that someone else is clearly also video taping the guy videotaping the same incident, which makes this atrocity even more bizzare . I saw this story earlier but couldnt back track to find it on my android, so Ive found it again, on desk top. though this guy is cleary making himself obvious to what he is doing the results were way out of the reality zone. drawing attention to himself with the comments he did not need to do. he should have just left the scene not approach the police , but he even did the right thing and not resist the police, and how the hell was the dog supposed to know what a police officer is, he was just trying to do what any good dog would do, and protect his master from his seemingly attackers, they could have been muggers for all the doggy knew. there is many differant angles to this story, its worth the watch, as the police diverted their attention away from their main emergancy job to harrass a man video taping them resulting in this horrifying scene filmed live of this dog being shot, please be warned it is very graphic of the dog, there is more to the story when you watch the full video, as differant people actually videotaped the incident. July 21 HAWTHORNE, CA -- Witnessing a large police presence on a public street, a man parked his car and took some pictures -- as any responsible citizen should. Keeping the police accountable is essential, and documenting their actions is a public necessity. As he walked around with his cell-phone camera, his leashed dog barked a few times, drawing the attention of some enforcers down the street. They saw his camera and began marching towards him. As the agents approached, he opened his car door and put his dog in the back seat. He then met the officers on the sidewalk where they immediately put him in handcuffs. Already his rights were being violated for the mere act of taking pictures on a public street. His dog witnessed its owner being accosted and managed to jump through the back window of his car. The dog approached the officers, where one brave enforcer quickly shot it. The innocent, handcuffed man was forced to watch. Another witness caught the encounter on video. It graphically shows the dog being shot and squirming around before its death. The man who was arrested, Leon Rosby, was charged with obstructing officers. Be careful out there citizens. Keep filming the police. photographyisnotacrime/2013/07/01/california-police-arrest-man-for-video-recording-then-kill-his-dog/ youtube/watch?v=WDBZr4ie2AE Call the Hawthorne Police Department: Call (310) 675-4443 or (310) 349-2700.
