My heart goes out to the family of Jameson, the dog shot by the LAPD. After watching the body cam footage, I can’t imagine the pain of seeing your beloved dog killed in front of you after what should have been a night of celebration.
There needs to be better training and protocols so lethal force isn’t the first response with family pets. This isn’t about saying all cops are bad. There are many great officers. This is about accountability when one officer’s actions fall far below the standard the public deserves.
Jameson is in many people’s hearts and prayers. I hope his family finds peace and closure, and I hope this tragedy leads to meaningful change.

Will update once she gives us a wallet
What I saw on the bodycam footage is disturbing and tragic. The Chief and I agreed that it was important to release the bodycam footage swiftly. While the investigation is ongoing, I am very concerned about why shots were fired and Jameson was killed. This shooting makes clear that while LAPD provides officers with written guidance on the use of force and pets, this is not enough.
I have directed the Police Commission President and the Chief to examine the Department's Use of Force policy on Dog Encounters to determine best practices from around the country, and use this opportunity to update the LAPD's overall tactics, policies, and training related to use of lethal force to increase safety for everyone – officers, Angelenos and their pets.
Jameson was Only a 2 Year old Puppy, Not dangerous in the slightest bit.
In honor of Jameson we created a petition to make Jameson the New Official Mascot of the New York Knicks
Jameson Mother @MayorMarseille was a huge knicks fan and I would like to bring a sense of joy in remembering Jameson in the Best way Possible.
