I am afraid if thugs like this busted in and shot my dogs I would have to (eventually) retaliate in some manner that would be unacceptable to many on FR.
They ALWAYS kill the pets. The cats they usually just stomp.
I agree!
Welcome to the USSA
And yeah, if they shot my amazingly mild mannered Dutchie, I'd like to think that I'd go all Rambo on someone. But what would I really do? Dunno. I hope I never have to find out, but the day seems to be getting nearer all the time.

1776 - Amendment IV - The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
2006 The inspectors' presence enables police to get inside the home without a search warrant.
I would be less worried about the dogs and more concerned about the risk to yourself, but I agree with the sentiment. And this sort of Gestapo tactic invites reprisals
I would seek them out, hunt them down and kill them slowly. Period.

I have similar sentiments. The number of FReepers that applaud tyranny such as this is amazing.
