A homeless veteran accused police of lying about his dog biting an officer before the officer tased it on October 13. A judge recently ordered the Gastonia Police Department in North Carolina to release the bodycam footage from the incident. The man, Joshua Rohrer, was arrested for panhandling and resisting arrest. While an officer attempted to place Rohrer in handcuffs, his dog apparently bit another officer in the boot and ventured toward the arresting officer, jumping onto the squad car. The officer who was apparently bit tased the dog. On July 6, Rohrer pled guilty to driving with a revoked license under a plea agreement, which led to the other charges being dropped. The dog, who survived the incident, died a few days later after being hit by a car.

These two officers should be fired on the spot!
To all these anti cop comments how about just obeying authority so you can go about your day?Doesn't matter if you are a vet, homeless or government big shot because the end result happens all the time but could be avvoided……Some panhandlers choose to be homeless. Hes articulate and physically able to GET A FRIGGIN JOB. Don't let the self appointed mercy labeling fool you. He was even seen with a car. Sick of these lazy losers playing victim and being defiant instead of filling out job applications…..oh yeah, and "im taking this to trial" comment reinforces this notion . All of this adds up to he has more energy being defiant than just getting a job
This is how cops destroy peoples life in a sorry display of policing
Absolute incompetent police work, the female officer did everything to escalate the situation, this man is in obvious Dire Straits trying to survive, She is an example of why there is such a disconnect with the public. Heart-wrenching
This is what you get when your tax dollars go to support a corrupt police department violating people's rights instead of
supporting it's veterans who are forced to beg to survive because they served a country that doesn't serve them in return!
I HAT THE F IN POLICE!
This is so sad the poor dog
Being a disabled vet myself I can relate, this kind of policeing is unacceptable a sad day in America. RIP sunshine. These cops need to be relieved of their job.
When your homeless you dont have an address, neither does your VA id.
Defund these cops, fire them!
These cops have nothing better to do than stake out a homeless vet and his service dog, they were looking to escalate.
That was unnecessary, All that over panhandling? Hope those police officers don’t go to Houston Tx because We have panhandlers on every other traffic light.
This happen near where I'm from 😂
Why these cops don't at like this when it come to these girls standing on corner doing prostitution
the bad thing is we r supposed to be safe to us theyre supposed to protect us but no, here they are using their power to harm others n animals and unfortunately this is the real world n no one cares about anything not even the government is taking action , im just hoping the veteran n his dear friend sunshine get justice and rip sunshine cuz she deserves justice deserves another chance ,she did nothing but protect her friend
Is there any word on these cops being fired or what
As I look at this video I can tell they are both rookies. A veteran Cop wouldn't even worry about stuff like this its way more important things going on besides panhandling. And the dog did not bite him I don't know why he sat up there yelll that big lie SMH!!!!! Service dogs are not trained to be vicious They are train to comfort their owner in a time of need and that's what sunshine was doing!!!! CALL your dog OFF CALL your dog OFF Even after he tasted the dog and Sunshine ran away he kept saying it CALL your dog OFF CALL your dog OFF He's gonna be the 1st one to get that police department in trouble for shooting an innocent Person just watch what I tell you Because he was just too nervous!!!!!!! Officer Brooks don't even know if the dog beat him or not she just going off what he saying SMH🙄
Bro after he said have a better day, it could've and should've ended there. 😤 so mad just for the puppy.
Bro I bout cried when he cried out momma. Knowing he's got PTSD I really can't help but to wonder if he can even help himself.
Wow so this is all because he wouldn’t listen to you? There’s no way the cop is a veteran and now he’s a disabled vet? No way! Did you see that truck fly by.. why didn’t he try to stop him? Actually preventing a crime from happening like a car accident. And he isn’t asking you questions about your military status to help, it
was to find out if you were really a veteran bc you notice he offered you NO ASSISTANCE!
AMERICA…HOME OF THE BRAVE. SMH
If only I was god
Not only did you tase his dog but y’all lost it! Some real pos’s
These two cops should be fired an go to jail for assault 🤬
That a lie that dog did not bit anyone I hope you two cop are fired an sued for excessive force
were did the dog go?
RIP puppy ❤
Did he get his dog back??
The dog was wagging its tail, you tazed a non aggressive dog with 50 000 volts for nothing. Secondly how can a man under stress with one woman yelling at him and trying to put cuffs on him also hear you and call his dog off??
How do you call a dog off? The dog wasn't eve near you when you zapped it.
Then you call for back up ?????????????????
Also you never showed anyone on any of the different camera views evidence of a bite or showed any signs of shock or pain or discomfort. Neither did you point out where the dog bit you and there is no evidence on the camera. Also after a dog bites it usually barks and its hair stands up and it remains aggressive. This dog was calm.
You are lying.
I would fire both of you on the spot and I would buy that guy a hotel room for a week and take it out of your salaries.
I would also offer him your job.
But you all have hearts of stone. As long as your belly is full no one else matters.
These officers need to be let off duty and they “protect and serve” by tasing a homeless veteran and his service dog I would rather protect myself then have the police officers
Handcuffed with Id's and wallet in hands. Cops were wrong on this one, but on paper they are right.
over ten Officers to combat a homeless man and his dog
