A Hawthorne police officer shot a not so violent looking dog in front of several people filming the police. The man nearest to the police filming, the man who had his dog slaughtered in cold blood, was apparently the one who irritated the officers most, because at least 3 other people were filming too. As the man was being detained, after placing his dog in his car for the dog’s own protection, he unexpectedly jumped out of the car, and began barking at the officers. The dog was tased and shot as it was running away. The officer could have solved the problem much more peacefully than shooting the poor dog point blank. The police are constitutionally, legally, not allowed to do this. Police murdering dogs is an epidemic.
