## Resource

A Los Angeles police officer fatally shot a beloved dog named Jameson during a welfare check in Canoga Park, sparking outrage and raising urgent questions about police use of deadly force. The incident followed a 911 call from a neighbor who heard screams and feared for a resident’s safety — unaware their call would lead to the death of an energetic, non-aggressive pet celebrating a Knicks win. Bodycam footage shows officers confronting the dog, who reportedly lunged at them, prompting multiple shots — though the video cuts off after the first. The family’s attorney called the footage “shocking,” while the neighbor who dialed 911 now expresses deep regret, feeling responsible for the tragedy. Police claim the dog attacked, but the family insists Jameson was harmless. A GoFundMe for Jameson has raised nearly $200,000, as the community grapples with the fallout and calls for reform in how police handle welfare calls.
