". . .I find this whole business of shooting dogs however, to be a completely separate issue from enforcing the laws against illegal drugs."

Perhaps so. But it doesn't appear that this puppy-stomping/pet shooting behavior occurs at any other time than these WOD transactions.

BTW, when puppies and babies are killed indiscriminately it speaks poorly for law enforcement. Pleasure at killing small animals and ruthless power displays share much in common with serial killers and sociopaths.

Perhaps so.

OK. Then we agree. No need to continue the argument on the rest, I agree with you there to. I just take exception to the linkage, as I don't think it helps win the argument.

It does. The federal BATFE is the prototype and past master of the technique. They've also been known to throw a pregnant woman, not accused of any crime, up against a wall causes her to lose her baby, and that was just over paperwork violations. They've been known to tear a place apart when the owners were not present, leave it unlocked and wide open, with all the legal guns laying around on the floor, and just leaving a note saying "Nothing found, ATF".

The article cites the dogs shot at Waco...while the BATF was involved, I don't think that was directly a WOD event.
