It is indeed very sad. These guys go in trigger happy. Something moves and bam.
Even as a criminal he has his rights. Granted I want drug dealers off the streets but not at the cost of any deaths or injuries even to animals.
These guys didn't seam to even care that they sealed an animals fate. The one guy clearly states on tape forget the dog.
Not to mention this poor traumatized sleeping boy had to go thru this entire event.
In the long run it seams the man was not even charged with a felony the amount of drugs in his home didn't even amount to enough to charge a felony... And... as a follow up the only thing the police dept. and mayors office had to say was, they served the warrant to late to find the drugs. Not that it was sorry for killing a dog or scaring a poor child. Oh and the drugs in question. Marijuana. Sure its a drug but on the scale of 1-10 its a 1.
Oh and I should also point out that in news reports its stated that the small dog was shot first in the paw. Thats who you herd screaming in pain. then they shot the pit bull several times after they said it attacked a swat officer...( who from what I could see had more protective gear on then needed.) It's also rumored that the Pit bull was in a cage at the time...
They also based the facts on a informants info not actual visual transactions. So the warrant was based on hear say. And not solid evidence. |
