It’s amateur footage of police officers from a LA metro-area unit shooting, and killing, a man’s dog. While they were arresting him. For the crime of… recording them. Apparently the cops were
July 1, 2013 Buenos Aires, Argentina Well… this has turned out to be one of those epic fail travel stories. I was supposed to be in Cape Town this morning, where the entire city has been shut down due to the presence of Barack Obama. But apparently when you fly
