A family celebrating the New York Knicks' first NBA title in decades ended the night grieving the loss of a beloved dog shot dead by Los Angeles police officers. Days later, a growing public outcry, a fundraising campaign that has surpassed $90,000 (£67,099.50) and mounting demands for body-camera footage have turned Jameson's death into a wider debate about police use of force and transparency.
The two-year-old Golden Saint Bernard Doodle was fatally shot on 13 June after officers responded to reports of a screaming woman at an apartment complex in Canoga Park, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The woman had been celebrating the New York Knicks' championship victory when neighbours reported hearing screams.
