A petition from the campaign to
Investigate shooting of "Max", Click See Full Description to View Petition
Sign the Petition to
The Governor of CA Daniel Juarez, Mayor, City of Hawthorne, California Robert Frager, Chief of Police, City of Hawthorne, California
Local government in Hawthorne should immediately investigate the shooting death of "Max", Leon Rosby's dog, by a Hawthorne police department. We demand the resignation from assaulting officer, and an evaluation of training so officers can better defuse chaotic situations involving animals. Lethal force should be an absolute last resort. This case is not alone; there are many animal shooting deaths each year by law enforcement when raiding homes, arresting suspects (many of whom are innocent or have no charges filed), and a myriad situations. "Shoot first" only results in damaging law enforcement's credibility and trust with the public and only results in unnecessary death and public tension. Such egregious behavior cannot be tolerated within a police force hoping to maintain any modicum of integrity to protect and serve the public.
Please view this attached video of the dogs owner exsplaining what happened.
Signed,
Terri Davis
