Sorry this was totally uncalled for. Why use a swat team? Why could a black and white not taken care of this? They shot a dog whom was protecting the house with a blatant over use of force. I would had been very very pissed and may have swung at the swat team. I mean looking at the home and family why would a swat team been used? surveilance perhaps and arrest the perp when his family is gone or something, totaly uncalled for and those officers and the person in charge of approving that should be looking for a job. I just can't believe they shot the dog and used a whole swat team. that was uncalled for. as for the war on drugs comment of the OP, not sure I see the reasoning of that, it was a blatant over use of force, abuse of power and trigger happy officers. Remind me not to speed in missouri hell I would really hate to see what they do to traffic violators.
It is obvious that we do not know what the warrant was for. Nor do we know for certain what was found or not found, we only have an Anonymous persons word for it. if all they found was an ounce or less of grass, and had no reason other than that small quantity then they would be wrong. But if they had good reason for a judge to sign a warrant for the guy maybe selling a few pounds......
Fact is we just do not know for what reason they were there. if you take the video without all the facts it was over use of force. But there is a whole set of facts that goes with the video that we do not have.
yes that is true and is why I asked the questions in the beginning. seriously though I think surveillance could had been used to clear some of those facts up. Maybe they did we do not know at this time. But looking at it right now it does give the impression of an overuse of force, I just replied on my first emotion watching the video. I would like to know those unknown issues though, still shooting a dog in its home was wrong, imo.
