Outrage Over Jameson: GoFundMe Hits Six Figures After LAPD Shooting

When Marie Marseille’s 2-year-old dog Jameson was shot and killed by an LAPD officer during a welfare check, it sparked something bigger than a single tragedy—it ignited a wave of community anger that’s now translated into real momentum. The GoFundMe page created in Jameson’s memory has already crossed the six-figure threshold, with donations still rolling in as supporters voice their outrage over what many see as an avoidable death.

Here’s what happened: cops responded to Marie Marseille’s home after a concerned neighbor heard a woman screaming. The timing? Right after the New York Knicks won the NBA Finals. The LAPD’s account says Jameson charged at officers, prompting one to fire. But Marie Marseille tells a different story—she says her dog wasn’t doing anything wrong, and the shooting was unnecessary.

The GoFundMe creators are framing this as more than just a memorial. They’re explicit about their mission: the funds will go toward getting justice for Jameson and covering cremation costs. That language matters. It signals this isn’t just about grief—it’s about accountability.

What’s striking is the unified voice in the comments section. Donors and supporters are using language like senseless act of violence and beyond unforgivable. People aren’t just sad; they’re fired up. They believe there were alternatives to lethal force, and they’re putting their money where their convictions are.

The LAPD has launched an internal investigation into the incident, which is the standard protocol. But for the community rallying behind Jameson’s memory, that bureaucratic response feels inadequate. The six figures raised suggest this resonates far beyond one family’s loss—it’s tapping into a broader frustration about police tactics and whether every encounter needs to end with a weapon drawn.

This is still developing. The investigation is underway, the community is watching, and every dollar that flows into that GoFundMe is a vote of no confidence in how this incident was handled.
