Police detain someone for no legitimate reason, creating the dangerous situation.
Be it because he had loud music playing or because he was recording the police, they had no right to detain or arrest him.
The guy doesn't resist, but they still decide to manhandle him.
Dog jumps out of the car to defend his owner from being attacked.
Had it been a legitimate arrest (perhaps if he had been doing something against the law), then I could see the shooting of the dog being in a grey area, but given that there was no reason (as near as I can tell) for them to arrest him, then I'll continue to put the blame for the situation on the police officer.

Not to be a complete dick here, but in the middle of a armed robbery situation where the cops need to be able to communicate, but hear what's happening and some dickbag rolls up and pumps up his music. They ask him to turn it down and get a f%%k off instead?
At this point it has nothing whatsovever to do with this idiot recording things on video and everything to do with the possibility that this idiot was possibly endangering lives on two fronts. First with the music and then with his dog.
to me the guy should get 30 days in the clink.
This has nothing to do with recording, in this situation the cops couldn't care a less.
