Yet another "win" in the War on Dogs.

“but that doesn't mean that there wasn't good information that there were weapons there before we had a chance to get inside the house."

Right. Must have flushed the evidence down the toilet.

I need to know what kind of dog it was before I decide if this upsets me.

An interesting link for those interested in this general topic. A bit incomplete yes and they don't have a 'shot the dog' map, but some might be interested.

Everyone knows where Elkridge and Howard County are. [Little irony and sarcasm there.]

Do you have any more info? Or is this it?
Is the guy a gang banger or the local deacon?
Has he been arrested before? Arrested for violent crimes? Does he live in a nice neighborhood or the ‘hood’?
How did the Gestapo jack booted thugs pick his house in the first place?

Before the hysterics start and the gossip between the back fence of the trailer park results in spilled beer, perhaps judgment can be reserved until more is known about the assassination of the Chihuahua.

"No. We didn't find a weapon in this particular case,” said Sherry Llewellyn, a spokeswoman for the department, “but that doesn't mean that there wasn't good information...

That's exactly what it means. The information was no good. Also, if its a couple of weapons, why not send a heavily armed team but do a knock on the door service of the search warrant? You don't need 25 guys.

"No. We didn't find a weapon in this particular case,” said Sherry Llewellyn, a spokeswoman for the department, “but that doesn't mean that there wasn't good information that there were weapons there before we had a chance to get inside the house."

Sorry, Spokeswoman Sherry. The fact that nothing was found means exactly that "there wasn't good information ..."

Just curious. Does anyone reading this trust your government?

This crap won’t stop till cops start to die instead of us or our pets. The fact that now anything will bring down these no-knock raids is bad news for all of us.

"I'm not gonna sit down and let people walk all over me and say 'sorry' and walk out of my house."

There would be a large number of cops looking over their shoulders every single day for the rest of their lives had this happened to my family.

Under ‘the one,’ this crap is bound to increase.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Ah, the Police state of the People's Republic of Maryland.

Thank god my parent got us out of that place.

[SkyDancer]

I wonder how long it will be when a homeowner fires back ... runs to where his gun is and opens fire on these people ...

Australian Shepard just like my Border Collie ... smartest gentlest dogs around .... higher IQ's than most cops ....

[expatpat]

This happens all the time. Dogs are protective of their home and their owners, and the cops don't want to get bitten, so they eliminate the problem.

I have instructed my wife that if a cop ever comes to the house, the first thing to do is put the dog in its crate. Of course, if they break into the house suddenly, that may not be possible.....

"No. We didn't find a weapon in this particular case,” said Sherry Llewellyn, a spokeswoman for the department, “but that doesn't mean that there wasn't good information that there were weapons there before we had a chance to get inside the house."

Possible defamation. She's saying the Hasenei family is guilty, regardless of the results of the raid.

[calex59]

What is it with swat teams and their penchant for shooting dogs? Is it just that in the absence of anyone or anything else to shoot they just have to shoot the dogs? Ban all no Knock raids, period, they are unconstitutional and need to be stopped NOW. My parents would not have stood for this kind of sh** and I don’t see why we do.

“No. We didn’t find a weapon in this particular case,” said Sherry Llewellyn, a spokeswoman for the department, “but that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t good information that there were weapons there before we had a chance to get inside the house.”

I heard from a reliable source that Sherry Llewellyn had the gun. Now go search her house.

That is all it takes to bring out the “Rambo’s” in LEO’s.

If someone, anyone, breaks down my door, guns drown, and refuses to ID themselves, I'm aiming for the head.

They may take me down, but I'll send at least 3 of them to Hell first!
