Militarization of the police

SWAT team breaks into home, fires seven rounds at family’s pit bull and corgi (?!) as a seven-year-old looks on.

They found a “small amount” of marijuana, enough for a misdemeanor charge. The parents were then charged with child endangerment.

So smoking pot = “child endangerment.” Storming a home with guns, then firing bullets into the family pets as a child looks on = necessary police procedures to ensure everyone’s safety.

Just so we’re clear.

Here is the video of the brave "heroes" taking down a suburban family and their pet:



With these rights in mind, would you like to answer questions?

No, you fucking douchebag, I want my fucking lawyer.

These military style raids are good at killing animals and roughing up suburban families, but get their asses handed to them when met by real resistance. Pussies. I mean, shooting a corgi? How can a corgi possibly be a threat to an armored SWAT team?

In his statement, the Police Chief states that the initial shot missed the pit bull and the dog then attacked officers. Funny, on the tape I can hear the first shot, and the pit bull yelps until it is shot again. The Chief gets one thing right: The dog wasn't shot by mistake.

In the end, all the cops got was a plea deal for misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. Why don't I feel safer knowing these cops are looking out for us?

Any time a vote comes up for cutting police funding, pay, or benefits, I will do so.
