This story/video needs a warning. Warning: there is a graphic disgusting killing of an animal in the video.

Sorry, but what did you expect?

  California Police Arrest Man for Video Recording, then Kill his Dog

That seems pretty clear to me.

Those words did not prepare me for what I saw.

Perhaps the first line of the post would have, then?

  In one of the most shocking videos I’ve seen
  since launching this blog six years ago...

nope. It's a fair point. I kind of expected the video to be turned off before that happened, or to just be a news article.

Warning: behaving like a free man in a free country will get you arrested and your dog killed.

The government power (at all levels) has become really intrusive and unchecked during the last decade i've been living in the US. You guys going the same road - 2 castes, one above the law and one under.

From TFA:

At 3:23, a cop shoots the dog four times. The dog wither and dies.

What did you expect?

Those words are well below the fold, under the video.

The video is age restricted on YouTube.
