cop enter wrong house  there is some foul languag

WTF??!!!    Any follow up info on this?

That is incredible. I would become a very violent man if someone shot my dog.

Turns out it was the right house. The search warrant has expired though. The man eventually plead to a misdemeanor charge of drug paraphernalia and was fined $300

poor dog i read that it was in a cage when shot but sounds like BS

Ok, for a misdemeanor, and a $300 fine, I think the term is excessive force. Either we don't have the whole story or something is up. I know I would have called an attorney after the dog was shot. Is there anything in the procedures for LEO about when it is and is not ok to shoot a dog?

I think South Park rules apply for animals.

The cop that shot the dog should be put in jail for animal cruelty.  That is disgusting!!!!!

I posted that over in chit-chat this morning...The one dog they shot, that lived, was a corgi, probably no taller than their shins. Absolutley no excuse for their actions.  If it was a police dog that was shot and killed like that you would be tried as if you shot a police officer.  Maybe the same laws need to apply to the officer(s) that shot those dogs.

Read the story. So maybe the pit bull did act aggresively, probably an overreaction, but we could not see. But they injured the freaking corgi? A corgi? SERIOUSLY? Did they mace spray the kids hampster and night-stick the goldfish? MY GOD MAN! ITS A FREAKING CORGI!

Pepper spray it, I got 2 dogs, someone shoots mine... Its gonna be a ugly day, I hope they got amazing lawyers b/c I would sell everything I have to make a case and have them locked up... The cring of the dogs were too much...

BS!!!!

...If the warrant was for that house, and it was expired, it's called unlawful search and seizure, the charges should have been tossed, any evidence they found was inadmissible.... Either his lawyer was an idiot, or were not getting everything....

The dogs, there was no need to shoot, the first one was shot on sight - a corgi? christ, what's wrong with these idiots???

again, if the warrant was expired or for a different address I suppose there is a strong suit in the making...

This actually happens fairly frequently.  Anyone remember about a year ago a mayors house was raided and his dogs were shot?  Their is a trend towards kicking in doors at 2am when a simple knock on the door in the evening would work just fine.

This kind of thing has happened frequently for many years!!! I've seen a bunch of incidents where the cops had the right number but the wrong street - the right street but the wrong number (now of course the neighbor who was the actual target is flushing the evidence)
- one where they managed to hit the house across the street, etc. etc.

There have been some where the homeowner responded to the break-in (it's not a search if it's the wrong house, it's a break-in) and shot a cop... and of course is found to be justified. Others where a little old lady was shot... on and on..

Scary isn't it?

4 shots and corgi lived - seems like someone needs some range time
