Since he was not committing a crime, showed any indication that he may have been, and was not on the warrant, the cops were abusing their power by approaching him to do anything but say "This is a tense situation. Could you please move along to a greater distance?"<br /><br />Then they cuffed Rosby and started searching him. This is known is legal terms as "illegal search." Without probable cause or a warrant, they broken the law and Rosby's 4th amendment rights.<br /><br />It took 10 seconds for the cops to kill that dog from the time it exited the car. The dog responded to the men harassing his owner. They didn't given the man time to call off his dog, which had even stopped to sniff the ground. The cop approached the dog in a power stance and was confused as to why the animal snapped.<br /><br />Rosby's past until that point (none of which I absolve him for) is 100% *irrelevant* to that situation. He could have been a robber, been convicted of assault, or he could have been doctor who makes insulin... and not one iota of it would matter to what was going on.<br /><br />Besides that, even if they were relevant to that situation, did the police officers know all this at the time? Absolutely not. They didn't know him and he was in a rental car. they couldn't have done a background search even if they wanted to (which they weren't).<br /><br />The only reason it was even mentioned that he had priors was for what is called "character assassination." They don't have any ability to justify what they did, so they try to sway opinions of Rosby so that they can get a walk on what ever they did.<br /><br />Did you read how they even said they he was being arrested for his "disruptive presence" there? Notice how that does not mention any priors.<br /><br />Being a past criminal doesn't brand you guilty in all situations regardless of fact, nor does it give police men to harass you when ever they feel the need.<br /><br />You don't need to believe either side. Only that which is plain to see and well documented.<br /><br />The cops are guilty<br /><br />~Your Brother~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18041519.post-7132373988557996682013-07-05T00:07:03.947-04:002013-07-05T00:07:03.947-04:00I'm going to believe the cops, not a guy with ...I'm going to believe the cops, not a guy with a rap sheet.Osumashi Kinyobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902370156968100563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18041519.post-90874572064771218662013-07-05T00:06:44.202-04:002013-07-05T00:06:44.202-04:00Harold, you clearly didn't watch the Morsi epi...Harold, you clearly didn't watch the Morsi episode where after solving a murder (the American capitalists did it), they burned down the university.Osumashi Kinyobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902370156968100563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18041519.post-27458308607478511422013-07-04T23:51:24.172-04:002013-07-04T23:51:24.172-04:00I don't really care that Morsi got outed.

They *claim* that his loud music, down the st...Yes. They *claim* that his loud music, down the street in a car, was interrupting their ability to blockade and raid a house. That is utter crap. He stood there with a camera phone, filming what they were doing. He didn't interfere, approach them or anything else. They wanted no documentation.<br /><br />Playing loud music in a car is not a crime, other wise every d-bag in town would be jailed for it. Filming what happens in public, especially arrests, is also not a crime.<br /><br />Vicious dog? How about a good dog? It wasn't until the police harassed his owner did he react. That is their instinct. Considering that the dog didn't go for the throat or bite and pull the man to the ground, which it could have *quickly and easily* done, he was a very good, restrained and well trained dog.<br /><br />Cops are *not* special and they deserve *no special* rights. The dog saw men harassing his owner and did what a good dog should. We as people saw cops abusing their power and those men should be prosecuted.<br /><br />~Your Brother~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18041519.post-14856107766972998842013-07-04T17:07:56.516-04:002013-07-04T17:07:56.516-04:00One notices that no one else was arrested for film...One notices that no one else was arrested for filming the incident, just the guy being insolent and with the vicious dog who jumped on a cop.Osumashi Kinyobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902370156968100563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18041519.post-81569133779595949572013-07-04T11:31:21.393-04:002013-07-04T11:31:21.393-04:00"Police don't kill dogs; bad owners do (a..."Police don't kill dogs; bad owners do (at the 3:22 mark):"<br /><br />I invite you to watch the video and read the new article again.<br /><br />"Police arrested Leon Rosby, 52, after he tried to film a police raid with his cell phone, according to CBS."<br /><br />Rosby was being arrested for only one reason; attempting to hold the police accountable. It was not his house being raided. He was not attached to the person whose house was being raided. He was just passing by and decided to film what happened.<br /><br />Who was guilty in that house is beside the point. The police should have been grateful that the event was being documented, especially considering the attitude towards police officers, especially by the bystanders who were heard to remark about why there weren't any black cops (ridiculous I know, but we all know it would have come up).<br /><br />"It lunged at me" is just an excuse and a poor one at that to anyone who saw that or watched the video. The dog jumped aggressively but it was not a lunge as it was clearly pulled back and there only to display strength. Speaking not only as one who watched the video but one who has been attacked by Rottweilers, I can say that is true.<br /><br />If you take the side of the policemen, then you are naïve. Do you really think that this displayed the totality and breadth of his abuse of power? Then there is that fact that their approach of Rosby was both without probable cause and/or a warrant.<br /><br />The cops in this video, particularly the one who shot the dog, all need to be prosecuted. This illustrates why greater police accountability is need and why all sentence for police office who break the law need to be *no less* than double the usual punishment for the same crime committed by regular citizens. They break two laws for every crime they commit; the actual crime and the attempt to use their position to cover it up.<br /><br />Its only a pity the dog didn't tear a piece out of the cop before being shot.<br /><br />~Your Brother~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
