Moment when white police officers shoot and kill a dog which tried to protect its black owner they were placing under arrest "on suspicion of interfering with a SWAT stand-off. The incident happened in 2013 and the video has resurfaced online following the tragic racist events of recent times leading to the murder of several unarmed black men in the US.
Watch the video below:
Police arrested Leon Rosby, 52, near the scene of the SWAT stand-off in Hawthorne, about 15 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles. Rosby was walking his Rottweiler, Max, and recording the stand-off with armed robbers on his cell phone camera.
"I never meant my dog to be killed and shot like that," Rosby said later. "He wasn't just shot. He was executed."
A statement from the Hawthorne Police Department detailed his alleged interference: "This interference included loud, distracting music (from the individual's vehicle), and his intentional walking within close proximity to armed officers, while holding an 80-pound Rottweiler on a long leash-line," the statement said.
