As for the dog: The thing was aggressive and inches from the cops. Were they supposed to wait for the biting to start?

True, the dog was inches from the cop. But the cops set that whole thing in motion. I don't care if that man had an arrest record a mile long. He was just standing on a street corner. He wasn't bothering anyone, and he wasn't interfering with anyone.

The only reason the cops moved on him was that he had his cell phone out, which was his right. I hope those cops get fired, and the man wins a huge settlement from the city.

The guy was taunting police according to the Daily Breeze article. Then he went on to threaten other civilians in the area. He was hardly Jon Q Public, filming from the sidelines. He was interfering and trying to get a reaction.

Hope not a cent of taxpayer money goes to this thug and his media lawyer. The City of Hawthorne has much more pressing budget needs than enriching these folks.

It is illegal in some states to video police.

So glad you know why the police moved on him....of course it does not match the facts reported in the actual reporting on the story by local news....but that’s okay because RT is sooo reliable

“I hope those cops get fired, and the man wins a huge settlement from the city. “

You can dream. Unfortunately, thanks to their union rarely do bad cops get fired even when they mistakenly kill people. Even when they cost the taxpayers lots of money, they keep going on.

I used to think there were only a few bad apples. However, there’s one thing I noticed about almost all the videos showing cops behaving badly: other cops around them hardly ever try to stop them, and most times join in the mayhem. We should wake up and stop giving these thugs the benefit of the doubt. It’s had to say I’ve been wrong all these years, but there is a self-selection process at work here where many bullies are attracted to the career as a cop.
