"Just Kill Him" Controversial Video of Police Shooting Family Dog
"Just Kill Him" Controversial Video of Police Shooting Family Dog

DES MOINES, WA –– In November police officers tased, then shot and killed a 120-pound Newfoundland named Rosie.

The shooting sparked both a community vigil for the dog and an independent review of the officers' actions.

Although initial reports were that the dog was acting aggressively when she escaped from her fenced yard and was spotted roaming neighborhood streets, video taken from the patrol car dash-cams may cast the shooting in a different light.

Warning: Videos (underlined) contain graphic sounds and language.

The videos, released by Des Moines Police show the dog being tazed by an officer, then running away. In another video you hear an officer fire his gun, presumably hitting the dog, then another officer saying "Nice".
