America has become a fascist country. Cops come in dressed in black, at 2AM, with no-knock raids, kill your pets, and if you dare defend against the masked intruders, they kill yoo, too.

I can understand dogs wanting to defend their home. It is their basic nature and a good thing not a bad thing for the most part.

Cops should not do those kind of raids except in situations where lives are in imminent danger. Also they could try pepper spray first. I have used it on a doberman and it worked great.

“You’re kicking down doors, barging in with guns, and when animals do what animals do, they become collateral damage.”

Oh I am so worried about the animals... Sarcasm...

These violent “no knock” warrents make a mockery of search and seizure protections. I mean when the government ignores the sanctity of private property, well, that’s what the Second Amendment is for. However, if you stand up to one of these illegal police actions you will die, or be in jail for life, or get the death sentence.

The other option is to defund city hall. Good luck with that. Even here on Free Republic the freedom loving average Joe sits in slack jawed awe of the Police. They need to be de funded. Get rid of District Attorneys. Dismantle the whole dam mess. Or, just keep trucking along like we are. Do “you people” really think that things will get better?

From the article: “This sad trend appears to be a side effect of the new SWAT, paramilitary focus in many police departments, which has supplanted the idea of being an “officer of the peace.”


This is exactly what has happened to our police forces across the country. The HHS has expanded the war on Islamic terror to a war on the American people. We are all deemed suspected domestic “terrorists.”

The angrier people get from being abused in daily life (ie, at the airport or or other law enforcement contact) or having a friend or family member abused or seeing it in the news, the more respect Americans lose for the government and especially law enforcement.

That means they cooperate less less because they lose trust. We are headed for banana republic territory. This is actually making it MORE dangerous for police officers. They are making themselves an occupying force in our country. Check out Mexico!

We need to limit HHS to Islamic Terrorism only under the patriot act and we need to make politicans very sorry for calling Americans who are not Islamic terrorists - terrorists.

If you shoot a police K9, aren’t you charged with assaulting a police officer?

This is the price we are paying for the madness of the Drug War. I agree with an earlier post which said that the cops should never break down doors in the middle of the night and come in ready to shoot unless lives are in eminent danger. This madness needs to stop.

Why do cops shoot dogs?

BECAUSE THEY CAN!

It’s a favorite way of demonstrating to the peons who has the badge/gun and who doesn’t.

One thing which has become totally prevalent is the cops handcuff everyone in the vicinity. They shackle everyone because it is “for my own protection”.

Cops are now trained to brutalize everyone rather than take any chances at all.

I remember Jeff Cooper mentioned in one of his columns that it was illegal in ancient Rome to shackle a citizen for any reason at all. Even in situations where they could kill you, they couldn’t shackle you if you were a citizen.

After reading that, I remembered the Apostle Paul was shackled by one of the Roman Governors and after he learned Paul was a citizen he became afraid because he had ordered a citizen to be chained.

No dog available to shoot; cop shoots suspect's father instead.

I guess part of the problem is that pets just aren't viewed as real important

Police feel they have a right, even a duty, to shoot someone if they go to an address for damned near anything. It is incumbent on people whose circumstances make it possible to keep a dog or two so that any police coming to one's residence has someone to shoot who is not the resident or his guest or dependent. I have long wondered if all this isn't part of union contracts.

Wonder how Randy Weaver’s kid is doing these days? No follow up stories?
