Tarek Hassani.. People with names like that are well known to detest and fear dogs. If one was such a “fearful of dogs” person, one might shoot a big muscly looking dog like a Black Lab, with very little, if any, provocation.Here's the dash cam video.
Dog was barking at him. He tried to kick the dog, as officer proceeded to the house, he shot the dog. Doesn't look to me like the dog was trying to bite him as he alleges. The other dog was actually in a more "dangerous" position, but it didn't try to bite him either.
This guy should be sued, along with his department. A jury sees that video, and they'll be out a bunch of money.
The officer did a lot wrong in responding to this call.
That said, the dogs were obviously ‘at large.’ The black lab though returned to his yard as soon as the officer used a loud voice. The dog was on the owner’s property. At which time the officer was the one acting aggressively and kicking at the dog.
