I don't agree with the owner being cuffed that was BS. If that was our police force they would not cuff you for taping them. They would have asked to see your ID etc and had you delete the tape if need be.
I don't see anywhere in this footage where the black dude is posing a threat to the officers and he complied right away when they approached him and fully cooperated yet they still chose to cuff him and started jerking him around.
The other thing that burns me about this is that guy even put his dog in the car so when the police did approach him the dog wouldn't attack.
I regret watching this and seeing that dog get shot 3 times by the cop point blank.

This was not about the recording. You are legally allowed to record public acts such as this one. This was about the gentleman adding to an already tense situation. He was endangering the lives of the two people taken as hostages and for this reason it is the officer's prerogative to detain the individual in the interest of public safety. The police acted completely professional and acted how anyone would have given the circumstances. If you have a 90 lb rotty coming at you with a bite strength of 328 pounds you would put it down as well. The nature of both American and Canadian law puts man ahead of animal and it is within your rights to protect fellow man with whatever force necessary.
