California Police Kills Dog in cold blood

Police officers in Hawthorne, California are facing some heat this week after a video was posted to Reddit which showed them shooting a man’s dog. They shot the dog helplessly. This is what Hawthorne Police are really about they are cold blooded killer who put the law in their own hands. If they can kill a dog that easily they can kill innocent civilians too.

The man, Leon Rosby, was taking video on his phone of several officers who had closed off a street and were going into a home; he, in turn, was being recorded by another bystander. After a brief exchange with the officers, they approached Rosby, who put his dog–which appears to be a Rottweiler–into his car and then turned and willingly put his hands behind his back to be handcuffed for allegedly obstructing justice at a crime scene.

However, the officers can be seen getting a little rough with Rosby and his dog became agitated and began barking from the car, which had the windows rolled down. The animal jumped out and approached the group, still barking, and one officer opened fire, shooting several times. Rosby, who is clearly devastated in the video, is planning to sue the Hawthorne Police Department; however, they say they were not only protecting themselves, but were protecting Rosby, who was handcuffed and wouldn’t have been able to protect himself had the dog attacked.

Hawthorne police Lt. Scott Swain continued to LIE to protect his fellow police thugs “It looks like the officer tried to reach down and grab the leash, and then the dog lunges in the direction of him and the other officers there.”

Warning the video is very graphic, and shows cops in action arresting innocent bystander and mericlessly killing a pet dog.

Guide dog saves trainers from out of control car

A guide dog saved a man and a woman dog trainers in California when a vehicle swerve through a public sidewalk at high speed.

Todd Jurek and Danielle Alvarado, both employees of Guide Dogs for the Blind which trains dogs to assist visually impaired individuals, were training a dog in San Rafael, California when a 93-year-old woman who's trying to park her car lost control and put the car in reverse that smashed windows of some establishments. They were taking an 18-month-old Labrador retriever named O’Neil, out for a training walk when it happened.

"It was just an unbelievable sight to see something going backwards, barreling down the sidewalk," Jurek told the paper.

One of the trainers is blindfolded as part of the dog's training, they didn't see the fast approaching car but O’Neil sensed something is wrong and pulled his head backward, and it caught Jurek's attention who then also looked backward just in time to see the car.

Jurek said O’Neil underwent a series of tests on Tuesday to ensure he was not traumatized by the incident. Guide Dogs for the Blind says it hopes to have the courageous pup placed with an individual sometime in the coming weeks.

The news was reported by San Jose Mercury News.

Iran will Arrest Dogs

Iran is cracking down on people who owns pet dogs, as they viewed dogs as “najis” or unclean in Islam.

Guard dogs that are kept outside, sheep dogs used for herding, and hounds for hunting have always been acceptable, however the increasing number of pets being acquired by a middle class family that somehow imitate Western culture is reportedly causing increasing new alarm to Iranian authorities.

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirzi in June 2010 said that dog companionship is “a blind imitation” of Western culture,” warning that such behavior would lead to family corruption and damage societal values.

Many people in the West love their dogs more than their wives and children,” the Ayatollah told the media.

The only blind people here are the Iranian authorities.
