So, there's a lot of controversy here in
Los Angeles right now over a police shooting last Saturday night.
It was not a shooting of a human, but a shooting of a dog.
It started with a 911 call that came in in the evening of a woman screaming very loudly, "Oh my god. Oh my god."
inside of her home.
A neighbor in an apartment complex said they were worried about her and called for the LAPD to do a wellness check.
The LAPD showed up.
They banged on the door and a woman came to the door with a very large dog.
In body worn camera video now just released by the LAPD, we can hear officers saying as the door is opened that it's a really big dog and they asked the woman to secure the dog.
She closes the door, opens the door again.
They ask, "Is it secured?" and she says the dog is not aggressive.
That dog named Jameson, a 2-year-old 107-lb dog, came running out at one of the officers and he fired his weapon several times killing Jameson.
Jameson, it turns out, was wearing a New York Knicks shirt.
It turns out Jameson's owner was celebrating the New York Knicks championship win and that was the noise,
the screaming of "Oh my god. Oh my god."
There has been a vigil for Jameson.
There is a GoFundMe raising money for Jameson.
A lot of protests have been held or at least uh arguments and anger online over this shooting.
The LAPD Chief McDonald, Jim McDonald, is promising a transparent investigation that they will look at all aspects of it and decide how they move forward.
There's very clear language in the LAPD policy manual of when a dog or any animal can be shot and officers are taught to use other tactics first, other ways of trying to defend themselves.
The question will be, was this a life-threatening situation?
