12755812, Trigger-happy cop shoots friendly service dog (link) Posted by SoWhat, Wed Mar-18-15 05:40 PM

The cynic in me fears it'll take cases like THIS b4 the majority call for police reform to curb police brutality. I see it in the comments to this story.
*the most massive sigh ever*

smh
I know we joke about it, but for real - White folks love them some dogs, man.
|
12755838, Much more than they love black men. Posted by SoWhat, Wed Mar-18-15 06:06 PM
Much. More.
|
12755851, I mean, I'd be sad if this wasn't already old news. Posted by spades, Wed Mar-18-15 06:20 PM
still tho.... If this is what it takes to get some accountability out of law enforcement, I'll take it - grudgingly, but I'll take it.

12755825, your optimism (?) is admirable Posted by Selah, Wed Mar-18-15 05:53 PM
these cops:
smooth got off
|
12755830, was that one a service dog? Posted by SoWhat, Wed Mar-18-15 05:58 PM
|
12755844, no. but the cops didn't know that when this one charged Posted by Selah, Wed Mar-18-15 06:10 PM
the service dog portion might up the public sentiment/pressure
but still.....*shrug*
|
12755946, that wasn't a service dog... Posted by CyrenYoung, Wed Mar-18-15 08:45 PM
..and the only similarities are:
- the dog wasn't secured - the dog was shot by police
outside of that, the situations were very different. the owner who picked the wrong time to get fly with the cops. he failed to secure his dog and unfortunately, his dog paid the price for it with his life.
*edit: i removed the vid.
*skatin' the rings of saturn*

12756974, I know... wasnt talking about that case. The post I replied to Posted by Binladen, Thu Mar-19-15 09:47 PM
looks to have been edited.
|
12755829, this is horrible... Posted by CyrenYoung, Wed Mar-18-15 05:58 PM
..but ultimately, the owner of the dog is at fault.
while that officer was clearly wrong for shooting the dog, the onus was on the pet owner to properly secure the animal when answering the door (esp for police).
service dog or not, the owner is responsible for ensuring the safety of his dog and the people around them. people aren't always aware of/comfortable greeting dogs, so you can't assume that everyone knows the protocol. the officer gave into fear and unfortunately the dog lost his life.

12755832, A commenter claims cop should've called for backup. Posted by SoWhat, Wed Mar-18-15 05:59 PM
I dunno. Especially since the other cop PETTED the dog and didn't draw his weapon.

|
12756823, as a black American man i'm all fucked up when it comes to Posted by SoWhat, Thu Mar-19-15 04:34 PM
this issue. it could very well be that the ppl commenting so fervently about this case @ laist.com are also as equally incensed about the killing of unarmed Black men by police. i dunno. i'm viewing all of this through a very prejudiced lens. i'm not saying i'm right about any of it and i hate that i feel this way.
|
12756915, maybe so but I'd say your bias/ prejudice is rational and justified Posted by PG, Thu Mar-19-15 06:51 PM
