While I do not agree he should have been arrested, it is ironic that you cite context when it is clear that you have used none in writing this.
Doing the Nazi salute just because it's Tuesday is not that funny.

I don't think that the dog is the reason why people are upset.

Can't see anything stopping him getting a conviction tbh even thought it's a "joke post".
Lots of questions though. The video is still up on youtube but it's against the law?

Uh oh, I guess I shouldn't have shared any clips from a Trump rally. Goodbye everyone, police will be around any second.

Well, you know what they say. You gotta fight facism with facism.
Difference being that no one would get arrested in the US for uploading a video showing the world what a shithead they are.
If they did it on South Park no-one would bat an eye.
The issue isn't whether this is offensive or tasteless, it's whether this should be arrestable, and no, it shouldn't.
Seeing as he was arrested and then released immediately without charge it makes you wonder if they just did it for punishment, which is illegal. Police Scotland are useless enough without wasting time on this sort of nonsense.
Yeah, we might elect them instead.

That video was bad. Not even funny. Not offensive as its a stupid man with his dog, but good lord they shouldve arrested him for making such an unfunny video.
The guy's a butt pug
Come on now, Clinton didn't call for lynchings; just to put an absurd number of black males in jail.
Looks like when I used to tell my dog "you wanna go for a walk?" I think he made it synonymous with that activity.

This is fucking stupid. People would laugh their arses off if something like this was in an episode of Always Sunny.
I'm not saying it's the guy's finest moment, clearly it's a stupid thing to have done. But wasting taxpayer's money arresting and processing him through the system because of him doing something moronic doesn't benefit anyone.

I don't support the arrest at all but it's pretty obvious some people would be upset at two and a half minutes of a guy training his dog to respond to "gas the Jews".

Immediately, I'd have to question how much training would go into teaching a dog how to do a Nazi salute and to respond to gassing Jews.
The quote says it caused offence and it also hurt people in the community. I'm wondering how this video went beyond just offending people and ended up hurting them.

It's not too far fetched to imagine this trivialization of the holocaust would be hurtful to you if you lost family members to gas chambers?
At least, that's how I read it.

Still shouldn't be an arrestable offense. Yeah it's pretty fucking tasteless but the guy isn't spreading a message of hate or encouraging anyone to become a fascist, he's just trying out some shock humour. The title alone makes it obvious he was joking.

That video was a stupid idea. But a hate crime for that? Wow
Seems like it's way too generic/broad. Targeted online harassment by sending people unsolicited offensive material should be criminalized. But the situation here is totally different. The viewer would have to voluntarily watch the online video.
This is like Erdogan level of nonsense. Two journalists in Turkey were recently jailed for reprinting Charlie Hebdo cartoons.
Some would say generalisation of "most of the population" would be classed as racism.
Congratulations
Because the guy found a "legitimate" way in being able to utter two racist phrases in a video, over and over again for more than 2 minutes.

Did the pup went out and try to gas the jews ?!
Geez, this world is getting insanely offended by everything and anything.
So...there is no problem in a guy repeatedly asking "gas the jews?" for two minutes in a video. Everything is fine with this?

Imagine how this would go if the dog was a german shepherd
It's certainly shitty and stupid, but arresting him? I mean, it's clearly bad humour, not actual hate speech.
A guy saying gas the juice to a dog is so clearly a joke that I really don't see what the problem is.
The only problem here is that the UK thinks this is a worthy of arresting someone.
[edit]
You've now said that phrase twice, I hear if you say it three times the police show up at your door like Beetlejuice.
