Any dog lovers? This dude got his dog shot by the cops just because he was recording

This was apparently taking place while police were trying to secure a hostage situation in the neighborhood. The man was antagonizing the police, blaring his music, and yelling things of a racial nature. That's why he was (legally) detained.

It would seem to me that if you, and another officer, cannot control a minor situation like this without loss of life, then maybe you aren't suited for the police force.

The only thing i could understand him saying from the video is "thats a civil rights violation". Videoing the police is legal. Playing your music is legal. Being on the sidewalk is legal. Protesting (if that's what he was doing) is legal.

The dog leaped at the cop.... he doesnt have to wait until the dog bites one of his fingers off to respond to the threat. I personally would have made a much greater attempt to not shoot the dog, but that's not a decision i can make for another person. The dog leaped at him, he shot it.
