A Los Angeles woman sued the city’s police department for shooting her dog Jameson “in cold blood” during a welfare check last month, after neighbors mistook the woman’s screams of delight over the New York Knicks’ recent NBA Finals win for cries of distress.
“Jameson had not bitten anyone, had not charged the officers, or done anything that would have signaled an imminent threat of serious bodily harm,” reads the federal civil rights suit from Marie Marseille, 45.
