The headline is misleading, the police apparently had a warrant for the botth woman’s home and the other home she rented to the alleged drug dealer who dates her daughter.
That said, these dog shootings by police are becoming ridiculous. The were threatened by a Labrador? Most labs would probably lead the cops or any other strangers to the drugs rather than attack them.
I am starting to think laws need to be passed to make it a felony for a police officer to shoot a dog unless it has actually BITTEN someone.
No officer, especially while amongst a group of other officers, is any danger of death or truly critical injury, until the dog has actually attacked. At the point of attack the cop or his fellow officers can still shoot the dog.
A dog is not like a person with a weapon, who can kill an officer before he or the other officers have time to respond.
They did not have a warrant for this woman’s residence; even their spokesperson is merely parroting the “probable cause” excuse.
No warrant [should equal] No raid.

I had a black lab that was the sweetest thing you ever met. If you tried to hurt my boy, you would draw back a stump. No stranger ever tried coming through the door without us welcoming them. Not if they were going to stay upright. Sweetest damn dog you ever saw. My boys rode her like a pony, pulled her ears and wrestled with her all day, she never nipped at them ever...dogs can be funny that way, like people. Pretty hard to generalize. I still miss her, she’s been gone twenty years.
