More than 20 policemen arrived in Los Angeles on a noise complaint and shot a pet dog. The incident occurred during an NBA victory celebration. According to the owner, the dog was not aggressive, and now there is a demand for justice regarding this incident.
APeople living in apartments often get disturbed by parties and loud noises. In such a situation, if a neighbor comes and asks to reduce the noise, then as a good citizen, people agree. But what will happen if the matter reaches the police? The police will come, ask you to lower your voice and if you don’t agree, they will probably arrest you and take you away. But a strange incident came to light in Los Angeles. The police, who arrived here on a noise complaint, shot a pet dog, that too in front of its owner and his son. The surprising thing is that this complaint reached more than 20 policemen and a helicopter!
Dog shot over noise complaint
This painful incident happened in Los Angeles. The National Basketball Championship (NBA), one of America’s biggest sports events, was going on. This time New York Knicks won the championship. This victory was being celebrated in an apartment built on Jordan Avenue in Canoga Park. Jeremiah Garcia, his son and their two-year-old pet dog ‘Jamison’ also attended the celebration. Jameson was a mix of a Saint Bernard, a Golden Retriever, and a Doodle breed. But his neighbor did not like the noise and complained to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). What happened after this was shocking. The entire team reached there at around 8:55 pm with more than 20 policemen and a helicopter. Seeing the police, Jameson started barking, after which the police shot him.

The family is demanding justice
After this incident, the video of the owner crying while hugging his dead dog went viral on social media. As soon as the video surfaced, people started demanding justice for the family. Police say they asked the owner to control the dog, but he closed the door. When he opened the door again, the dog barked and pounced towards an officer. At the same time, owner Jeremiah Garcia says that his dog was never aggressive. Now animal rights activists are also demanding justice by showing pictures of Jameson wearing the Knicks team jersey. Some people raised questions on social media that what did the police, who shot the dog merely on noise complaint, do during the Capitol Hill violence? After the case gained momentum, a GoFundMe campaign named ‘Justice for Jameson: Help us honor his memory’ has also been started.
