As the officers put handcuffs on Rosby, the dog starts barking and manages to jump out of the car. Another police officer comes over and looks like he’s trying to grab the leash when the dog jumps up and the officer shoots him several times.
Turning himself in: Rosby walks over to the officers, turns around, and allows them to handcuff him
Escape: Max beings to bark as his owner is walked towards the squad cars, and he manages to squeeze out the windows
Attack? Another officer comes over and seems to reach for the dog’s leash when Max jumps – that’s when the shooting starts
Dead: The officer continues to shoot the dog several times. A police spokesman says they were protecting Rosby too
‘He literally killed my puppy I had since he was 6 weeks old,’ Rosby said.
In the video, Rosby is noticeably upset.
‘I was crying and hollering, “My dog! Max! Max!”‘
Rosby doesn’t understand why police didn’t let him go to properly secure his dog, or why they continued to arrest him after he put the dog in the car – a sign that he was leaving.
‘There was no way Max should have died like that,’ Rosby said. ‘Max was only protecting his master. He was trying to stop them from beating on me.’
‘All he did was love me,’ he added.
