If this pisses you off call the Hawthorne Police Dept and let them know. (310) 349-2700
Last time I checked, filming a "peace" officer was not against any law.
Why not use pepper spray. Isn't that why they have it. Obviously the dog thinks someone is trying to hurt his owner. So of course he's going to react.
Discharging a weapon on a street full of people is totally reckless, to say the least. Just shows the flagrant disregard LE has for the public's safety.
I have never met a cop who is also a decent human being.
I have met a bunch of cops who are great human beings. Most of the time I'd side on the part of the dog over some of the trigger happy cops out there. After watching the video, I'm not sure this is one of those times.

I think it is, or was, in Illinois. I remember a big stink about it a year or so ago. Can't remember what ever became of it. That doesn't excuse these ridiculous actions though in the least. Cops are out of control anymore. Taking the lead from our rulers in DC.

Eh, pit bull - I don't blame the cops. Although, should have kept firing until it was dead, no need to drag it out.
[if the dog was coming towards me I would have shot it, too]

Shooting the dog was justified.

I never believed the rumors about how men are becoming more and more effeminate in our society today. Wellll, I'm starting to become a believer. Besides all that, it's not about what YOU would do! Don't you see the injustice !!??
I'm a female, I've been choked out, man handled, attacked by a stalker, and several dogs, and sparred with my fair share of BB's. My 14 yo is more of a man than you [MOD CUT]
Bunch of ******* ! Man up.
No compassion for those without a voice, the least among us ???
