  1. I live this… the left are EATING THEIR OWN

  2. It baffles me that so many people confuse macro policy (solving homelessness) with individual responsibility (arresting a homeless criminal).

  3. So 100 people get murdered no problem one dog gets killed and o snap we gotta do something dogs could get hurt. Ha ha ha so woke

  4. Good for you girl, dont quit til you get justice.

  5. I hear what progressives are saying. However, if you do not place this man into an institution. He runs to risk of running into a man like me. Which will place his life in mortal danger. If you need to build a mental health hospital with capacity then do it. If you need more bed space for jails then do it. If you need more treatment centers built then do it. If you leave him out on the streets you are risking his life.

  6. yes he gets incarcerated and gets mental treatment , sometimes you get what you vote for

  7. This is not "sparking debate." People want a reliable police force they can call in an emergency. All that is standing in their way are left-wing politicians.

  8. Your puppy wouldn't want the homeless man to go to Rikers Island

  9. This is what you keep voting for.

  10. Liberals voted for this and now it’s reached their wealthy streets.

  11. Democrats are screwing us all !!!!!!!!!, They need to go!!!!!!

  12. Ny is run by criminal loving democrats and they barely care when a person gets killed, they definitely ain't gonna care when an animal gets killed.

  13. His homelessness and untreated mental illness would have been fixed with more progressive politics, not less, and the poor pup would also be alive. See how framing is used to push an agenda – this is one sad case. It doesn't say anything about policies. Look to places with Housing First programs and how they have virtually ended homelessness. After that much easier to deal with drug use, mental illness and get some of these people into working life.

  14. The vote blue no matter who crowd loves the violence and suffering.

  15. So it took killing an house pet animal to spark politics and policing…. This is why the human species is failing.

  16. Beautiful dog just like all the Pitbulls.

  17. If it’s between their pets and helping the homeless these people will choose their pets everyday of the week.

  18. America, everyone has their place in your country. Anyone spilling out of their designated lines needs to be put back behind it. Clear your streets 😐😐

  19. Police pensions are about as commie as you get son

  20. BLACK HOMELESS LYVES MADDUR!!! LEEVE HIM BE. NO MORE BLACK MEN IN THE WHYTE MANS PRISUNS!

  21. 0:01
    The definition of progressive is misused in this story.

  22. He committed a crime and killed a dog. That is a crime. Why are these people saying he shouldn't be in jail?

  23. Get what you vote for.

  24. NOT GREY AREA AT ALL…. ANIMAL CRUELTY RESULTING IN DEATH….OF COURSE HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED….
    🐶🐕💕💕💕💕💕😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

  25. My dog is a member of my family. I don't care what the law says. If you hurt my family, you better have your affairs in order, cause your life is over. I'll end anyone, who killed a member of my family.

  26. if this golden boy was anything like my boy, which i know he was, then he spent his life loving his owner and loving every person around him until that fateful day. he loved every person, even though it was a person that viciously and callously murdered him for absolutely no reason other than to get his rocks off. rest in heaven moose, i know you are looking down on your momma with all the eternal love in your heart. take that love with you buddy, you take all that love with you to heaven forever. because we know that even though you crossed paths with pure evil that fateful day, you still have nothing but pure love in your heart and little soul! and i pray that your human momma can heal from the pain of losing you in such a cruel and evil way and that she can remember you only for all the happiness you brought her everyday for your short time here on earth with her. RIP, little buddy 😥

  27. UBI. If we have $5 trillion for covid relief funds, we have money for ubi and supporting the homeless.

  28. That man is dangerous and should not be roaming around in public. He should be put in a mental facility.

  29. The guy speaking needs to speak abit more slowly

  30. Good doggy. Defended its master. So sad.

  31. Why this man is not in jail?😱

  32. Separating violent individuals from the rest of society isn't so much about justice as it is about pragmatism & practicality, and I find it incredibly disturbing that so many folks are more concerned with the wellbeing of the person who killed the dog vs the wellbeing of the dog or the dog owner.

  33. The person responsible for this heinous crime should be charged with animal cruelty!
