car, and voluntarily puts his hands behind his back during the arrest. As he is being handcuffed, Rosby's dog starts barking and jumps out of the car through an open window. When the dog approaches the officers, barking, Hoffman shoots the dog shot four times, killing the dog. In the days following the shooting and backlash, Rosby was charged with six felonies, including intimidation of a witness and making criminal threats, to which he pled not guilty. After a two-week trial, a judge dismissed the remaining charges in 2015. Rosby pursued a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Hawthorne, alleging violation of civil rights, negligence, and an intention to "humiliate and harm [Rosby] and to cause psychological trauma."
