Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, it is Wednesday, June seventeenth, and there is outrage in LA after an officer involved shooting. The victim is a two year old dog that was wearing a Knicks jersey. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. The details get worse and worse and worse. Let's start with that. Police are called, they get there, they end up shooting a dog. They said, charge to add them.
00:00:32
Speaker 2: Yes, and okay, you can imagine that might be a frightening scenario that police officers have to contend with, maybe even on a daily basis. But when you see this dog and you hear about this dog, and you hear about the circumstances surrounding the shooting, it's angered a lot of folks, and at the very least it's it's eyebrow raising, okay.
00:00:54
Speaker 1: And it starts with that. The circumstances are just that somebody they hadn't okay, This was just a call about somebody screaming. And it happened to me on the night that the Knicks were winning the first championship in fifty three years. There was a lot of screaming.
00:01:07
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, So it was right around the time when the Knicks one La time, it was eight fifty five, I believe, when they responded to a radio call of a woman screaming. And so yes, they get to the apartment complex where the report was made and they find the person who made the report. It was a neighbor and they pointed to that apartment. I heard the screaming coming from that apartment.
00:01:33
Speaker 1: All good, it shouldn't be a problem yet, Okay.
00:01:35
Speaker 2: So they knock on the door and the owner opens the door. It's forty five year old Marie Marseille, and she's excited and trying to talk to the to the officers, but her dog, which was described by police as a large dog, was barking at them. So they asked her to what was the word they used, seriously, secure your dog. Yes, and so she closes the door and then when she reopens it, the dog runs out from around her and according to police, charged at one of the officers we actually have their full statement, and shot the dog dead twice in its nicks jersey.
00:02:16
Speaker 1: So the thing herebes. A couple of things that have made this story really take off have to do with the video, what the dog was wearing, and the breed of this damn dog.
00:02:28
Speaker 2: Correct all of the above. So this video is Look, there was a large crowd that had gathered there and including her son was around and I'm not sure who was taking the video, but it shows this poor woman, Marie Marseille, literally over her dog's dead body, sobbing, crying, saying he was the sweetest boy ever. I don't understand what happened. We didn't do anything. He didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. And honestly, those are all really fair.
00:03:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, she had done nothing wrong, had committed no crime. Somebody had pointed to her apartment that she was an innocent bystander and everything. Now the debate is going to be about, of course, robes the dog, what did the dog do? And people are going are already calling for and wanting that body cam video robes. But if if this officer can justify that he was afraid enough of his life of this dog and he made a split second decision to fire his weapon. Uh, that's concerning a Saint Bernard Golden Retriever poodle mix.
00:03:38
Speaker 2: And look, they have a picture that they put up of the dog literally moments before he was shot dead, celebrating the Nicks win. He has his tongue hanging out of his mouth, just like Brody does. I have a poodle mix too. We have a multi poo, a Maltese poodle and they're just sweetly. They have just sweet dispositions. These designer dogs, these poodle mix is Saint Bernards are literally bred to help save people. Poodles are very sweet and gentle. And we don't even have to get into Golden Retrievers. That's like America's dog. They're like, okay, Lassie, we.
00:04:14
Speaker 1: Have to leave room. Yes, this we dog had a moment and was attacking, attacking an officer. And now this is a big dog. It's a big dog, friendly and sweet. It is a big boys.
00:04:28
Speaker 2: Yes they are. And look when we hear from the owner who talked afterwards, and she said Jamison does not bark when there's a knock or a ring at the door normally, and honestly brought Brodie's the same way. But every now and then he'll start barking. We don't know why. And he's little, so no one's afraid of him. But she says she tried to push him back so she could keep talking to police, and you could see this. He was excited. Everyone had just been screaming. The whole Dogs take on energy of their owners and the environment they're in, and so it had just been a big celebratory moment. He was probably amped up, a little hyped up, and he got excited. Now we've got people, what's going on? So he pushed out behind her and took off outside. And that is when one of the officers, she said, She said it happened within seconds. Seconds, she watched her dog get shot. She watched her dog die. That is so traumatizing, you know.
00:05:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's we talk about police shootings. But if you can't in a split second, if that coming at you is a deadly threat. And maybe I don't know what they train officers to do, but if that is a deadly threat, robes every human being he's around is in danger.
00:05:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, she said, Jamison has never once in two years that she's had him, never once shown aggression towards anyone. These aren't breeds where you have typically aggressive dogs. Look, anything can happen, and animals are unpredictable, So we want to leave space for that. Yes, but it's hard to get your head around, like we've seen these dogs, they're large, but they're goofy and sweet, and we see them all over. I mean, we're around dogs every day New York City, and sometimes when I'm running, I'm like, I just fully trust that their owners know that they can be around other people. I guess we just are constantly exposed to dogs in a way that maybe a lot of other folks aren't other people's dogs.
00:06:24
Speaker 1: Hopes he shot. That's the only option, the only option with all these other officers around, this dog is about to kill me.
00:06:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, they said, there were a half a dozen officers standing around.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Hey, this is the disgusting part of the video. There's a lot of it. You see her wailing. Yeah, it's awful to see. And there are some images of it out there that are it's not blurred. You can actually see the dog.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: I only looked at the blurred Okay.
00:06:52
Speaker 1: So it's awful. Robes. I counted at least ten, that might have been eleven. Police office is standing around doing nothing but looking at her. Give, protect and serve. Part of the service is comforting a woman whose dog you just shot. Not the one that shot the dog, but it's another nine of y'all. I hate it that I come on y'all come on, okay, you gotta have the body cam.
00:07:26
Speaker 2: So that is what is now being demanded. Like on these videos, by the way, they're on TikTok. They've gotten millions and millions and millions of views. But one of the neighbors said to police, this is effing pathetic when there are drug dealers, people stabbing each other outside, like there was real anger from some of the neighbors and people who saw it all happened towards the police. And yes, the LA National Action Network they held a press conference. They are calling for the release of the bodycam footage and they want the officers involved in the shooting identified because they have not been identified. Their names have not been released. The bodycam. I think they have to release this body cam footage. They have to.
00:08:04
Speaker 1: Because it's going to tell the story one way or another, and that it was going to help them or hurt them in this case and in public opinion. Robes, I know it's this is somebody's family member. No, it wasn't a human being, this is a dog. But Robes, this goes to what police force excessive force, lethal force when it's not necessary. You cannot be trained to have that kind of a hair trigger over a sweet dog. Robes. If we see it and he was Kujo coming at him, then we can all just say, hey, we misjudged based on his breed. Fine, but we have to see that right now.
00:08:41
Speaker 2: Uh yes, Because yes, she just kept saying, over and over again, I don't understand. I don't get it. He wasn't doing anything. He didn't do anything. I know he didn't. I know he didn't. I mean, it was all very genuine and her son has given a lot of interviews and also just discussed this dog, Jamison, what he was like and look, and I always just go back to how sad this was, because she even said this while this was all happening in real time on these videos. The Knicks just won the championship. She said, we were just so happy. We were just celebrating the Knicks. This is absolutely crazy. We didn't do anything. She'd been a long time Knicks fan. She's originally from Rockland County, New York. So it's just so sad to think this is this moment she's been waiting for probably her whole life. She'd never known the Knicks to be NBA Championship, the champions, So yeah, she was so excited. She had her sweet dog dressed in a Knicks jersey, and so it's just the whole thing to have that be the highest of highs for her in that moment, to then just this unbelievably devastating tragedy. I'm sure the neighbor feels bad, but he probably was trying to be kind. He heard a woman screaming. He wanted to make sure everybody was okay. But my god, if he just hadn't made that call to police about a woman screaming and.
00:09:54
Speaker 1: Probably couldn't sleep at night if he hadn't made the call. So true something who knows you can't fault? No, I thought it's fault for that. Oops. Sorry, and everybody should have gone on Sorry officer, My bad. I don't no worries. Enjoy the game tonight, goodbye, and that should have.
00:10:09
Speaker 2: Been the end of the enjoy celebrating. Oh it's awful, So okay, So when we come back, we're going to talk about what happens now because Marie, the dog's owner, has raised a whole lot of money and she says she wants to do good with it. Welcome back, everyone, as we talk about this awful story out of Los Angeles two year old Golden Retriever Saint Bernard poodle mix two year old Jamison shot dead by the lapd because they say that this dog charged them when they were doing a welfare check about reports of a woman screaming. She was screaming because of course, her beloved Nicks had just won the NBA Championship and sadly now her dog has died. He was taken away by the coroner. I believe they called out animal services to take care of Jamison's body, but she wants to have the body cremated. So she just put up a GoFundMe page, and I think she was asking for like, I don't know, one thousand dollars, two thousand dollars right now. I just checked one hundred and fifty five thousand dollars as of this recording.
00:11:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet you'll hear from the Knicks the organization soon.
00:11:30
Speaker 2: Probably that would make a lot of sense. And so she says she wants to Obviously, she just wanted money to cover the cremation costs because she didn't have the funds for that. But she says she now will donate some of the money or she's actually considering starting a nonprofit in Jamison's name with some of that money, and she says she hopes the hope would be that his death and the coverage of his death will lead to reform within the police department, saying this could have been prevented. And is the gun? I don't get it. Why is the gun the first option? And that is what we were asking as well.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: Reform, what reform is necessary? I don't know how you train someone better. We train them for all these scenarios where they're fighting bad guys, but the dog got them. I just I just think it's dangerous even to fire a weapon in that small, yes sight, there was no threat to the community a larger community. That is the reform is decision making. The reform is And how do you train folks better to not grab that gun just because you get scared?
00:12:39
Speaker 2: Right, That's the frightening thing this time. And I'm not I am not mitigating or making it seem any less awful and tragic for this woman that it was her dog who died. But what if it was a child, what if it was someone else who startled or scared this particular police officer. I mean, the hope would be that maybe just upon the bodycam footage, upon investigation, they'll see this gun, I made the wrong choice, and that's a big wrong choice to make. And can you have someone like that out in the field in tense situations where a split second decision is the difference between life and death.
00:13:12
Speaker 1: Like I said, he is a threat to every human being. If the dog, if that dog, if he thinks he needs to fire a weapon and kill it, because that constituted for him a threat, a deadly threat to him.
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Other officers flanking him, all of whom were armed. I mean, I mean, the dog was probably going to jump on him and lick his face. That's the sad thing. But look, they are investigating. They said that the dog, they said that the owner is cooperating, and in their official police report they said Force Investigation Division investigators responded to the scene and are investigating this incident. But yes, they have not released the officers' names. And look, I guarantee you people will be making sure we get a report, we get the results of the investigation, and there is some sort of transparency as to what the decision is going forward with these officers.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: Has been a bad call, not a bad guy. But I don't see how this is why we wait that body can videoways everything.
00:14:18
Speaker 2: Oh it's such a sad story. But poor Jamison, poor Marie. But hopefully, hopefully there can be some healing and maybe some good that can be done with all of the generosity that she is seeing from around the country, I think that's probably incredibly heartwarming given what she's going through. But we always appreciate you listening to us. Everyone. I'm Amy Roeboch alongside TJ. Holmes. We will talk to you soon.
