“The government hates dogs because they give citizens advance warning of approaching government workers.’

Muslims, from the time of Mad Mo himself to today, also hate dogs because they warn of approaching danger.

SWAT team members are usually allowed to profiteer from forfeiture.

The reason the Spanish Inquisition was hated and feared was because it was funded by forfeiture. The Roman Inquisition was paid for by the Church.

Had Galileo been tried by the Spanish Inquisition he would have been tortured for profit by the same mentalities as are suited up in SWAT garb.

Why are the politicians not taking issue of this increasing phenomenon?

Because "law and order" has traditionally been a winning campaign theme, particularly at the local level and particularly among Republicans.

I don’t care. Don’t shoot the ******** dogs.

Substitute the harshest word in the English language for the asterisks.

And, your answer tells me you support the Police State. Because you are a cop, it informs me that it really IS ‘Us vs. Them’.

SWAT teams need to be abolished; they have become a clear and present danger to the lives, liberty, and property of the American People.

“Judges , cops , lawyers , clerks ,, anyone connected with the government has the public records scrubbed to hide any hint of their identity or residence ...”

Sounds like they all have jobs........

I was ready to get all worked up about the actions of the professionally trained dog killers until I got to this key fact:

“two pit bulls. “

[SpeakerToAnimals]

So that makes it OK for the Gestapo to smash in his door, kill his dogs and any other thing the Gestapo want to do? In this case they found nothing. Go read the comments on the source link. You are defending evil. But that is what police do, isn’t it?

"Swat team is a disgrace and dogs are legally inside their home what did swat team think the dogs would do follow their verbal commands after breaking down the door rushing in yelling and screaming ? I am with the family this is murder.Every time it's the same ole story in fear of their lives.So if a human in the house starting moving he/she would be murdered claiming they feared for their lives. What is one of the kids moved towards the cop would he/she be in fear of their lives ?"

It's getting to the point where the only way these SWAT teams will take a moment of pause before serving a no-knock warrant is if, upon their invasion into a family's home without warning, some family members in another room than the one being broken into take up arms in response to hearing shots being fired around their loved ones. It would take these family members killing several SWAT members to make these jack-booted thugs rethink their "tactic."

Unless they fear for their lives in executing no-knock raids, these will continue indefinitely.

Unless they fear for their lives in executing no-knock raids, these will continue indefinitely.

I'd change "in" to "after" in order to accuracize your statement.

[Lurker]

I have a policy about anyone who harms one of my dogs. I doubt the cops would like it much. I don’t care. I’ll take my chances with a jury.

[Wolfie]

Bingo. After. Long after. A dish served cold.

If I’m on the jury you don’t have anything to worry about.

St. Paul police told KMSP that the dogs were shot because the SWAT unit feared for their safety, and department policy allows for the removal of such threats.

Must be some real tough men to be terrified by a couple of dogs while wearing all that armor. Real tough. I wonder if their panties are the same color as all that body armor?

I would be publishing pictures of the dead dogs and getting the emotional hype going. Use the situation like a Bambi or Lion King story and turn the public against them.

No weapons are needed. Just use the propaganda war on emotions against them.

Take pictures of the children with tears running down their faces and blood on them as they grieve for their lost pet. A few of these and public opinion would change.

When you are dealing with a public that is emotionally motivated by fear, use it. Crying and wailing are sometimes powerful weapons against oppression.

[skinkinthegrass]

is go to the judge’s house and shoot his dog. A couple of events like
this county jail. But it sends a message once you do it in retribution.why just start w/ the judge's dog only...
just go down the line..Shoot the LEO's dog, too
Shoot their Big dogs..small dogs..no
exceptions, it's OUR STD. Policy

Mr. Arman, has prior arrests for escape, possession of firearm by a felon, possession of drugs, fleeing police, conspiring to commit kidnapping, assault with dangerous weapon.

Which translates into, "It's okay to grab him, guns a blazing, where there is a higher likelihood his kids, spouse, dogs and other innocents will be shot and killed."

Are you peace officers hired by us to protect and serve your communities, or are you law enforcement officers hired by bureaucrats to keep us compliant? You can't be both.

I used to thank peace officers when I saw them. Now I avoid you people (now "law enforcement officers") whenever possible. I'm far more afraid of you than the gangs in my town. They are far less capable of the wanton destruction my family.

[Rannug]

“They’d be shot dead instantly. They might get one round off, and they’d be riddled with bullets in return by SWAT.

You are right. I hesitate to say what I really think, so I will keep it to myself, unfortunately.”

Amen

Should'a shot HIM- last time he ran. Then the dogs would be safe.
