California man goes on racist tirade when he’s caught throwing dog onto the pavement
A California man was arrested on charges of animal cruelty over the weekend after he was caught on video throwing a 6-month-old dog into the street by its leash.
Lindsey Cooks told KTLA that he was waiting at a bus station in Lancaster on Saturday when he saw 54-year-old Robert Emmett Martin abusing the puppy, and decided to record the crime with his cellphone.
Video shows a shirtless Martin yanking the dog into the air, and swinging it by its leash before he is confronted by Cooks. Martin begins yelling racial slurs at Cooks, and then picks up the dog, and slams it hard into the pavement.
As Martin turns around to hurl more racial slurs, the dog can be seen running away.
Im a human being, you know, Cooks explained. And I couldnt see even a human being being treated like that, especially a dog cant defend itself, a little dog. So, I had to do something.
I had asked him to stop to, Hey, man, stop doing the dog like that, and all he could say was Shut up, n*gger, Cooks recalled, adding that only a racist pig would act that way.
