A family in El Monte, California criticized local police on Friday for both shooting one of their dogs dead then reneging on an offer to pay for the animal’s treatment.

KABC-TV reported that the family’s home security system captured officers entering his home on Wednesday in defiance of two signs advising, “Beware of Dog.”

“They just came in our door without calling us or anything,” 11-year-old Winston Nguyen said to the station. “Then our dog ran up to the police and the police shot it.”

Police were called to the Nguyens’ home after Nguyen’s 14-year-old brother allegedly ran away. Family members told the station they advised authorities to call ahead of the officers’ arrival. Security camera footage set up by his father, Chi Nguyen, shows two officers entering the residence and leaving the gate open.

1. Unbelievable. And in front of a child, no less.

And then to prove they are COMPLETE assholes, they refuse to pay the vet bill.
