I hope that guy can sue the police for excessive force! Shooting a dog such as a pitbull for looking "Vicious or Hostile" is just wrong. They all look intimidating, it is their nature. But i heard 1 shot which obviously wounded the dog when they entered (heard yelping) the door and then 3 more later on to finish the dog(no more yelping)! That's just fucked up!!!
And all for cannabis! And such a small amount even for that much force!
Wrong I tell you!!!!!!!!!!

This is not the same story, but one similar. He had 2 labs the pigs shot and sounds so much like this case posted by OP.
taken from here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/07/mayor.warrant/
CNN) -- A Maryland mayor is asking the federal government to investigate why SWAT team members burst into his home without knocking and shot his two dogs to death in an investigation into a drug smuggling scheme. Berwyn Heights, Maryland, Mayor Cheye Calvo comforts wife Trinity Tomsic at a news conference Thursday.
Berwyn Heights, Maryland, Mayor Cheye Calvo comforts wife Trinity Tomsic at a news conference Thursday.
"This has been a difficult week and a half for us," Cheye Calvo, mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland, said Thursday. "We lost our family dogs. We did it at the hands of sheriff's deputies who burst through our front door, rifles blazing."
The raid last week was led by the Prince George's County Police Department, with the sheriff's special operations team assisting, after a package of marijuana was sent to Calvo's home.
Authorities say the package was part of a scheme in which drugs are mailed to unknowing recipients and then intercepted.
Calvo said he had just returned home from walking his two Labrador retrievers, Chase and Payton, when his mother-in-law told him a package had arrived for his wife, Trinity Tomsic.
Moments later, Calvo was in his room changing for a meeting when he heard commotion downstairs.
"The door flew open," he said. "I heard gunfire shoot off. There was a brief pause and more gunfire."
Calvo said he was brought downstairs at gunpoint in his boxer shorts, handcuffed and forced onto the floor with his mother-in-law near the carcass of one of dead dogs. Video Watch Calvo describe the raid »
"I noticed my two dead dogs lying in pools of their own blood," Calvo said.
Calvo said his mother-in-law is still recovering from the incident.
"She got the worst of it," Calvo said. "She was literally in the kitchen, cooking a lovely pasta dish, and they brought down the door and shot our dogs."
While he was being held, Calvo said, he told police he is the town's mayor, but they didn't believe him.
Berwyn Heights has its own police force, he said, but Prince George's County police did not notify the municipal authorities of their interest in his home or the package.
"They didn't know my name. All they knew was my wife's name. They matched that to the registration of the car," Calvo said. "It was that lack of communication that really led to what has really been the most traumatic experience of our lives."
After the raid, arrests were made in the package interception scheme.
The incident has prompted the couple to call for a federal investigation because, they say, they don't believe police are capable of conducting an internal investigation.
"They've said they've done nothing wrong," Calvo said. "I didn't sign up for this fight, but I think what we have to do now is make changes to how Prince George's County police and Prince George's County sheriff's department operate."
Calvo said authorities entered his home without knocking and refused to show him a warrant when he requested one.
But Prince George's County Police Department spokeswoman Sharon Taylor said legal counsel had informed her that "no-knock" warrants do not exist in Maryland. Video Watch authorities defend their actions »
Taylor said authorities were acting on a warrant issued based on information available to them at the time.
"This warrant was for permission to search the premises," she said. "The special operations team that supported us made a decision about the necessity of entry at the point of being on the scene."
"No-knock" warrants have drawn criticism before. In Atlanta, Georgia, Kathryn Johnston, 92, was shot to death by police in a botched drug raid involving such a warrant in November.
Taylor, a self-described dog lover, expressed sympathy for the loss of Calvo's dogs, but stopped short of apologizing for the incident.
"We've done these similar kinds of operations over and over again, to the tune of removing billions of dollars of drugs from the community and without people or animals being harmed," she said. "We don't want any of our operations to result in the injury or loss of anybody, and certainly not animals."
The deputies have said they killed the two animals because they felt threatened.
"I would say that the dogs presented a threat, I would imagine, to the special operations situation," Taylor said.
Meanwhile, Calvo and his wife said members of the community have expressed sympathy and concern about the incident. advertisement
At a news conference Thursday, Tomsic tearfully recalled a recent encounter with a neighbor who used to wave at the couple as they walked Payton and Chase.
"She gave me a big hug," Tomsic said. "She said, 'If the police shot your dogs dead and did this to you, how can I trust them?' "
This is the stuff We the people need to stop letting this government do to us. We do NOT have privacy or freedom anymore! And if we do not stand up soon, they will take the rest of the freedoms we do have away!!
How can they say drugs are the thing hurting us? When in 2 days i have read 2 articles about cops killing people animals? Seems to me, our government is hurting us more then anything. We have the highest incarceration rate in the WORLD! Higher then even the so called communist countries. WTF is wrong with this place???!!!

I bet he won't be able to sue because of the negative stigma attached to pit bulls (my favorite breed). If it turns out they shot the corgi first then maybe his case will look better because they're not known for unnecessary aggression. Hard to say though because that tape makes the police look way too aggressive. I can't believe they couldn't find a way to raid the house during the day while the kid and wife weren't home. Fuckers. Only found paraphernalia and a small amount of bud. I wonder if they'll still stick him with the second degree endangerment to the child.

I was thinking that too. They traumatized the fuck outta those kids too, killing their dogs right in front of them. Well one of them lived I think. But still, that's fucked up.

i saw this over in the shroomery too, but i basically said that it was crazy that he police would use such force and manpower over just a little amount of pot, and then to shoot thier dogs, members of the family!? thats just unacceptable by any police.
just because the dog was barking doesnt mean its attacking, or going to attack, and pit bulls are are supposed to look aggressive, thats thier job, but dont shoot them for it. and the corgi? why shoot the corgi? what was it doing? hiding in the corner barking? all it could do is gnaw at your ankles and thats about it.
this and spacemonkey's article just make me mad. if someone, especially the police, shot my dog i would do all i could to get justice. sue, complain, anything.

Yeah, I mean, I think this is ridiculous myself. What really gets me is the Corgi though. I think the pit bull shooting is bullshit too but I guess you could KIND OF MAYBE justify that in the court of law with the "aggression" clause. I believe that it is indeed bullshit though. But the Corgi?? You cannot honestly tell me that you were afraid for your life at any point when you encountered that dog. Especially when you're in possession of a semi automatic firearm.
Note- I have a pit bull that's a little over a year, and while she might flip out if people busted down the door, I have a strong feeling all she would do is probably lick them to death with this big dumbass smile on her face . And if they shot her, I would be one mad motherfucker and would fucking punch the shit out of whoever did, gun or not, assault on an officer or not. That's bullshit.

On top of the dog shootings, check this out also. Just to throw another hate topic toward the government and their rules on cannabis. In afganistan BlackWater, a government contractor has ordered U.S. troops to shoot and kill anyone "Suspected" of possessing marijuana! Wtf?!?!?!?!?!?
I posted this in the news section earlier today........
