Cops were definitely in the wrong here. Guy was hostile, had a gun, sure. However, the point of sending the dog was to get him to drop the gun. Dog was sent, he dropped. They even knew they screwed up. Also, you didn't need everyone checking the dog. The kid still deserved more attention (you can't really say he deserved what he got if we don't even know what he actually did).
Trained to shoot at a time like that...yeah, but you know what, it was very poor judgment by the cops also (evident by a dead dog). I would honestly fire all the cops there.

from what i cought was the cop released the dog they guy jumped threw the gun and tried to run then the cops opened fire with some horrible aim there had to have been thirty shots and i think only like five hit the guy cops need more time on the firing range or atleast need a better training simulater if i was the dogs handler i would have gone in there and gotten the dog and took off to try and save it but that's just me. out of all the shootings i have heard about there has never been any with any real aim it's always a barage of bullets. i watched a cop in my area take five shots at a deer on the side of the road at point blank range and finally hit it on the fifth one. it's vidoe's like that one that make me scared that people like these are the ones protecting us.

The low down:
Deandre Brunston, a 24 year old male, (nicknamed "Trey"), residing in Compton, Los Angeles County, California, in the United States of America, was shot and killed August 24, 2003, during a standoff with Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies while resisting arrest for an alleged domestic abuse incident. After attempting to evade the police, Brunston ended up cornered on someone's doorsteps where he began taunting and negotiating with the police. He repeatedly told the officers he was wanted for murder (Deandre was not wanted for murder), would rather die right then and there than go back to prison, and that he had a gun in his hand and would use it to shoot the police dog (and the deputies) if the dog was released. However, he was in fact unarmed, only carrying a flip-flop shoe in his right hand, hidden under his T-shirt. Brunston repeatedly stated that he would throw his "gun" down and surrender if he were allowed to speak to his girlfriend Fonda Brown by phone, but his request was never granted.
After nearly a half hour of unsuccessful negotiations between Brunston and police, one of the deputies called the K9 Department Head, Lieutenant Patrick Maxwell, who, from his cell phone at a party, issued a firm order to release the K9 police dog upon the suspect. A few minutes later and practically all at the same time, the K9 dog sprinted toward Brunston, at which time Brunston tossed the flip-flop at the dog. The police opened fired at the suspect with 81 rounds, striking the K-9 a split second before it attacked the suspect. Both Brunston and the K9 were seriously wounded in the shooting, and both later died of their injuries. Part of the controversy surrounding this incident involves the fact that the wounded K9 received an emergency helicopter airlift to a veterinary center while Brunston, who was still alive and moving after being shot 22 times, was left to bleed to death on the concrete steps, leading to allegations of Brunston receiving sub-par treatment as compared to the dog. Part of this incident was recorded on film -- including the actual shooting -- and various short or full-length videos can be found and viewed on the internet.
EDIT:
oh and just to discuss how the dog got attn first: police dogs are treated as policemen, if there is a police dog shot on duty the officers will radio "Officer down!" and they will get the same priority medical attn that an officer would get, sometimes (not often) they even get the same funeral ceremony's officers get

what a dumb mother ****** he lost his life because he faked having a gun. Just a terrible way to die. And cops are trained to shoot at things like this same thing happened in NY already twice guy had a wallet and was shot dead the officers got in trouble i think because sharpton protested but i feel extremely bad for the dog. The cops need to also learn how to aim.
Guy still dumb though. Wont say he deserved it, but well, $hit happens.

To me... it looked like they released the dog to try and get the guy to drop the "gun" cuz he threw it then you see the dog come in almost immediately. I find it hard to believe that the dog was at the edge of the camera the entire time... which with that kind of timing... it would have had to have been. Just apparently some of them thought when he went to throw the gun he was going to fire so they fired. Seems like miss communication to me.
It's easy to sit on the side lines and judge the cops for what happened. Chances are they feel like **** for all of it even killing the guy. Look where it happened though... those cops are probably very used to there being a REAL gun and being shot at and at the end of the day... they want to be the ones going home alive not in a casket. I have no patience for people who do stand offs with cops don't give in then the media is all over the cops for doing what they are trained to do.
RIP doggie.

The article is right. The dude received some shitty treatment from the cops after being shot. I know he was an ass to them, and is a criminal, but that does not make him less human or less deserving of a chance at life. They couldve let the dog do its job. They couldve shot less than 22 times. They couldve given him immediate attention after the shooting subsided. They couldve had medics standing by as they knew the man was armed. They couldve done a lot of things better in that situation and they didnt, it was poor policing. Not saying they were wrong in their actions, just that they handled the situation poorly and because of it, an officer and a man from compton lost their lives.

Good! ******* deserved to die for shooting the cop. BTW for those who don't know a police dog IS a cop and has all the rights of a police officer. Its a shame the dog died, but I'm glad the waste of life piece of **** ******* is now dead.

What do expect the cops to do? Guy could have had a uzi and killed many people with one swipe of his arm.
Maybe it could have been handled better but I cant imagine how hard it would be to deal with situation like that in such a short time.
Cops are mostly hypocrites and egomaniacs (not all) but you cant fault them for protecting themselves against this *******. I would have rescued the dog first too, as long as they try to help the guy asap after. My .02.

For those of you saying he should have got more attn than the dog, I disagree, When that stupid mother ****** threatened the live of those cops, Put them through all of that then caused the death a officer (the dog) he is no longer a human in my eyes, He made himself the scum of the earth. He deserves no mercy.
Yes its a shitty way to die, But its nobody's fault but his own.
Your point? He told the cops it was a gun. So how would they know it was a shoe?
Exactly they didnt.

They shot their own dog and him because a guy threw a shoe. Doesn't matter if he said he had a gun. Geez I don't think you people get it.
Imagine your teenage son is hanging out with friends and the cops harass them and it looks like your son has a gun and he goes to grab it and they shoot him in the face. Are you going to congratulate the cop for being quick and killing him before he had a chance to do anything?

It didnt look like he had one, He said he had one.
So you want them to wait until he shoots somebody just to make sure he dont have what he says he does?
That way the cop that was doing his job trying to protect people cant go home to his wife and kids.
God most of you Canadians are retarded
