MAX THE DOG, SHOT BY POLICE OFFICER - PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO FIRE THE POLICE SHOOTER!!
Update 2:
New message about Fire the officer responsible for shooting Max
Get others involved
INVITE FRIENDS
Our actions are having in impact. Three officers have been taken off of street duty, but the reason the police cite is for their safety, not for an investigation for their wrongdoing.
Earlier today we hit 50,000 signatures, but we have upped the goal to 100,000 so that the police cannot ignore our calling.
Please invite your friends and get them involved.
Thank you for all your efforts.

MAN CUFFED FOR FILMING POLICE – COP SHOOTS HIS DOG IN FRONT OF HIM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDBZr4ie2AE
Police State USA: Land of the Checkpoints‘s photo.
As he walked around with his cell-phone camera, his leashed dog barked a few times, drawing the attention of some enforcers down the street. They saw his camera and began marching towards him.
As the agents approached, he opened his car door and put his dog in the back seat. He then met the officers on the sidewalk where they immediately put him in handcuffs. Already his rights were being violated for the mere act of taking pictures on a public street.
His dog witnessed its owner being accosted and managed to jump through the back window of his car. The dog approached the officers, where one brave enforcer quickly shot it. The innocent, handcuffed man was forced to watch.
Another witness caught the encounter on video. It graphically shows the dog being shot and squirming around before its death.
The man who was arrested, Leon Rosby, was charged with obstructing officers.
Be careful out there citizens. Keep filming the police.

A video posted yesterday on YouTube shows the grisly shooting of a dog by a police officer in Hawthorne, California.
The 130-pound, 3-year-old Rottweiler named Max was shot to death after he escaped through a window in a parked car and ran over to his master, Leon Rosby, who was being arrested for filming the scene on his phone.
The video (watch original on YouTube) shows Rosby, 52, walking his dog Sunday around 7 p.m. near a house with several police squad cars parked outside.
Scroll down for video… (Warning: Graphic Content)
He is seen filming the scene in order ‘to make sure nobody’s civil rights were being violated,’ he told DailyBreeze.com.
Rosby is then seen talking to a pair of police officers in the distance.
Hawthorne Police Lt Scott Swain said that officers were warning Rosby to turn down the music in his car.
‘It’s distracting the officers. It’s interfering with what they are able to hear,’ Lt Swain said. ‘It’s not just a party call. It’s an armed robbery call. The officers need to hear what’s going on with the people being called out of the residence. That music in his car is bleeding over and it’s distracting them.’
A neighbor who witnessed the event said they heard Rosby yell ‘It’s my (expletive) radio!’ to officers.
But Rosby said that didn’t happen because as a Christian he doesn’t swear.
‘I do apologize if I didn’t immediately comply,’ Rosby said. ‘The music may have been a little loud but I was complying.’
Eventually the two officers start walking towards Rosby, who puts Max into his car where the windows are rolled down. Rosby seems to calmly walk over to the officers and turn around, volunteering himself for arrest.
As the officers put handcuffs on Rosby, the dog starts barking and manages to jump out of the car. Another police officer comes over and looks like he’s trying to grab the leash when the dog jumps up and the officer shoots him several times.
‘He literally killed my puppy I had since he was 6 weeks old,’ Rosby said.
In the video, Rosby is noticeably upset.
‘I was crying and hollering, “My dog! Max! Max!”‘
Rosby doesn’t understand why police didn’t let him go to properly secure his dog, or why they continued to arrest him after he put the dog in the car – a sign that he was leaving.
‘There was no way Max should have died like that,’ Rosby said. ‘Max was only protecting his master. He was trying to stop them from beating on me.’
‘All he did was love me,’ he added.
More…
Lt Swain, however, alleges that the officers were also looking out for Rosby.
‘I know it’s the dog’s master, and more than likely not going to attack him, (but) we’ve got a guy handcuffed that’s kind of defenseless. We have a duty to defend him too,’ Swain said.
Rosby was held overnight in jail on suspicion of obstruction of justice and released at 5 AM the next day.
Rosby says that police would not return his dog’s body to him.
His attorney Michael Gulden says that Rosby is planning on filing a lawsuit against the Hawthorne Police Department.
Apparently this isn’t the first time that Rosby has had issues with the local police. His prior record includes convictions for resisting arrest, battery and driving under the influence. Rosby, a black man, has filed six complaints alleging mistreatment and racial profiling by the Hawthorn Police.
‘There’s been a pattern of harassment against him and other African-Americans in Hawthorne. Last July, the police responded to his home and beat him unnecessarily, then threw him in jail for no reason. We sued for that. We’ll amend that complaint to include the dog incident,’ Gulden said.
As of Monday night, the video had 510 views and almost 400 comments.

I think everyone posting on here needs to chill out. First off it is a Dog! While dogs are awesome pets, they are just that and nothing more. Secondly, you can post all you want about the owner not doing anything wrong, but you are not telling the whole story, so please be intellectually honest and say that the dog’s owner was being a bonehead and put his dog in a bad situation. He is more responsible for the death of the dog than the police. Thirdly, the dog jumped up at the police man. Have any of you ever seen how strong a Rotwiller’s bite is? That dog could crush your forearm with one bite, and the police do have a right to defend themselves. Did they need to shoot 4 times? Certainly not. Did they need to shot at all? Maybe. None of us were there. I own three dogs and two of them are rotties, but this hatred toward them is ridiculous. With so much hate towards the police, it is no wonder that they are quick to shoot. Look in the mirror idiots.
