The
shocking video of the Hawthorne, CA Police Department gunning down an
innocent man’s Rottweiler, who was doing nothing more than coming to his
master Leon Rosby’s aid after he was being falsely detained for
obstruction, was arguably the viral-video-of-day for July 2nd, 2013. It
was the latest in what seems to be a disturbingly high number of
Cop-on-Canine assassinations in the United States which have occurred
within the last few years.
Many still remember a
surreal video from New York City
in the late summer of 2012, in which a small dog, barely 20-inches
tall, was shot several times on a crowded street in Manhattan. The dog
was merely protecting it’s owner who was lying on the street having a
seizure, and by
protecting I am literally talking about all
bark and no bite. That did not stop two officers on the scene from
drawing their weapons and unloading into the small dog without any
hesitation, after the animal had approached one of the officers. The
fact that those officers truly believed they faced enough “danger” to
warrant such a drastic response, and that afterwards the writhing and
twitching dog still might have posed enough of a threat to maintain
their grandstanding defensive power stance in front of so many horrified
witnesses, is really quite pathetic.
