@weratedogs This is Jameson. He was shot and killed by LAPD while celebrating the Knicks win with his family. According to witnesses, at least 14 police officers showed up to Jameson’s family apartment after a neighbor mistook celebratory yelling for distress. LAPD claims that the two-year-old bernedoodle had “rushed” the officers. The dog owner’s son said that Jameson was energetic, but not violent, and told reporters the pup had simply been celebrating with his family. A GoFundMe has been set up to help Jameson’s family seek justice and pay for cremation fees. It can be found through the link in our bio. According to an estimate by a Department of Justice official, police officers kill an estimated 10,000 dogs every year in the U.S., approximately 25 to 30 dogs every day. A 2020 study by the University of Arizona found that officers are nearly twice as likely to shoot dogs in majority Black and Hispanic census tracts compared to white ones. Rest easy Jameson ❤ 14/10
