Watch the raw video below:
The video caused the uproar you’d expect in North Texas. “The City is obviously concerned about the video showing an officer shooting a dog,” officials said in a statement responding to the outcry. “As is often the case, the short video does not tell the whole story.” That’s true. But the video does show that the official version of events set down before the video’s release was inaccurate. And police reports aside, it is hard to conceive of any precipitating event that would justify what’s in the video. The police officer needlessly approaches and whistles to the dog before shooting.
