3. IMO, too many hours spent watching tv and/or playing video games.
I mean, what's with the SWAT team to begin with? If they had enough info for a warrant, why did they suit up like commandos?


What happens the day a little kid gets shot protecting his dog?

9. Really? I've spent a good portion of my life video gaming as a hobby.
Edited on Wed May-05-10 12:48 PM by YOY
I wouldn't hurt a fly. When bad stuff goes on around me I am still appalled.

10. I'm thinking of people who confuse gaming with reality.
My sweet baby just loves to sneak up on her siblings and wipe them out playing Halo, but like you she wouldn't hurt a fly!

12. Those people are myths. Sorry to argue.
Anyone who did would find themselves a victim of Darwinism quite quickly.

A RW evangelical lawyer (named Jack Thompson) has gotten himself disbarred (in Florida of all places) because he would constantly cite video games as the reason of violent crime.

Now, I've met folks who I would consider "gaming addicts"...but their problem isn't distinguising fantasy from reality...it's that they need to face reality and stop dwelling in fantasy.

15. Sorry. It's a pet peeve. Video games are a great scapegoat by the "Centrists".
It's Lieberman's plea to Soccer Moms and NASCAR Dads...and what made me dislike Hillary.

In reality it's just another one of those "too much of a good thing is an addiction" items.

4. The video doesn't actually show the dogs. You just hear the shots and the whimpers.
I don't want to listen again, but I don't think the poor critters even barked!

21. Out Of Line
Edited on Wed May-05-10 04:58 PM by Mark D.
Unbelievable. No, you don't see them shoot anything, but you hear the dog scream until they silence it. Disgusting! The pit bul was in a cage. It was doing most of the barking, but was harmless. They probably didn't want to hear it barking, and after shooting it made it yelp, they silenced it. It says they shot a Corgi. A F***ING CORGI? You've got to be kidding me. They are the size of a cat and the friendliest little things you could imagine. It's like shooting a poodle. If it had nipped their ankle they could punt it like a football without doing it serious harm. This is all just disgusting.

Especially since it notes under the YouTube video that he had an empty pipe with resin, and enough pot to maybe roll a joint. ALL THAT FOR A F***ING JOINT? I could understand if a rabid-looking pit bull or rotweiller was charging them full speed, yeah, shoot to defend yourself. This was not the case. Totally out of line. They all should be ashamed. That poor kid is probably traumatized for life. The biggest cause of this? This stupid war on drugs. Mexico becoming a war zone. Billions in potential tax revenue lost, millions who could be cured with mandatory rehab vs. jail.

8. Well the officers found something (edited). And it was 2 dogs killed and not 1.
Edited on Wed May-05-10 01:19 PM by YOY
Adorable...:sarcasm:

On edit: They found a little weed. A little (Less than 2 ounces) and a pipe with resin. They killed a pit bull (who was caged in the kitchen) and a corgi.

Not to demean the pit bull's death but a corgi. A VICIOUS FUCKING CORGI! Those pussy assed cops were afraid of a fucking corgi.



What a vicious beast! If you're a sheep on the Welsh highlands in need of herding that is...

Edited on Wed May-05-10 12:53 PM by Webster Green
My hatred for pigs knows no bounds. They are fucking terrorists.

Yeah, I know there are some good cops, but the 99% who are sadistic thugs make all the others look bad.

13. Com'on guys. Pigs are nice, really intelligent animals and they often end of on breakfast and
and dinner tables for no other reason than their species.

What an insult to pigs!

Perhaps, I might feel a little less uncomfortable if you referred to them as maddened wild boars... But, even then, I'm not sure.

24. Good God man, I love bacon..
And the best meat I've ever tasted was from a black, eight foot long wild boar killed in Humboldt County.

You're right, it's an insult to an animal that is more intelligent than any cop. "Pigs" is a dated term for the fuckers anyway. Fascist thugs will work just as well.

Thanks for talking me down. :P

18. Just more proof
that the United States' war on drugs causes more harm and damage than it does good. For the past few months I've been watching the HBO series 'The Wire' which highlights the ironic and almost comic attempts of police to try and enforce drug laws. Police should be protecting us from violent crimes, not people using drugs. Legalize them all and regulate it. Treatment rather than imprisonment.

20. That was pretty blatant!
And does the officer really have the right to "know his name?"

So I assume from this video a "search warrant" can be issued after a door is kicked in and a pet killed?

23. They shot a caged dog over misdemeanor weed?
Edited on Wed May-05-10 05:49 PM by McCamy Taylor
Just sickening.

And what kind of law enforcement uses the full SWAT over personal use marijuana? Talk about overkill.

Maybe they were trying to simulate a real drug raid, but since COPS was with them, they wanted to be sure that they hit a house that would not be dangerous. And the producers of COPS told them to fire their weapons to make it more dramatic.

26. You're kidding! The video is from COPS? I didn't realize that.
This makes it even worse - posturing for the camera!

30. Watch: Missouri SWAT Team Terrorizes Family, Kills Pet Dog in Useless Drug Raid
Here's some recently posted footage that has been getting attention of a police SWAT raid that took place in Missouri in February "on suspicion of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and second-degree child endangerment."

A police swat team breaks into a family's home, fires several rounds at the family's pit bull and Corgi and arrests the father of a family, all as a seven-year-old child stands by.

32. This makes me boil.
When men act like this, they're masking their own weak and fearful nature... Overcompensating with all the machismo and bully-like behavior.

Talk about excessive force. This just sickens me.
