"Two SFPD officers are approached by a skateboarder who said he's been bitten by a dog, creating the wound that was actively bleeding seen above (this guy is interviewed at the 16:50 mark of the video, the biting itself is seen at the 18:30 mark). Shortly after, we see footage of the same dog charging at a couple of joggers. The dog, a husky-German shepherd mix, is doing a great deal of running around unleashed at O'Farrell and Market streets."
"Officers tell him he is being arrested and detained, and attempt to physically restrain him. But Eaton just ignores them and tries walking away, while the dog is charging at the officers and barking aggressively while baring its teeth. Officers called in more units, and one officer even pulls his gun on the dog. I will blow your dog away, the officer says."
On Sunday, November 9 around 4:30 p.m. at Market and O'Farrell streets, SFPD officers confronted a 29-year-old dog owner, Trustin Eaton, and an unleashed, aggressive husky–German shepherd mix. A skateboarder had been bitten and joggers were charged by the dog. Officers attempted to arrest and physically restrain Eaton while the dog charged and bared its teeth. Additional units were called and an officer drew a gun and threatened to shoot; the officer then shot the dog. Neither Eaton nor the dog sustained serious injuries. SFPD released bodycam footage and held the legally required community meeting; the owner later threw a plastic bottle after the shooting.
