The video of a Columbia, Mo., SWAT team shooting and killing a dog during a drug raid is now available online, due in part to the efforts of the Columbia Daily Tribune.
The video shows members of the Columbia Police Department executing a narcotics raid on the home of Jonathan Whitworth. While the raid, which occurred in February, only turned up a misdemeanor amount of marijuana and a glass pipe, the Columbia PD was able to charge Whitworth with second-degree child endangerment because a child lives in the home. That same child, age 7, was present when the Columbia PD conducted its raid and witnessed the police shoot both family pets a pitbull, which was killed, and a corgi, which was shot in the leg after they had safely entered the home.
Did you shoot my f***ing dog? Whitworth asks in the video. Oh my God, what the fuck did you do that for?
Daily Tribune reporter Brennan David submitted a public information request for the video immediately after the charges were filed in February and was denied because the video was being used in criminal proceedings. I knew that SWAT video was available and that SWAT teams use video. The deputy chief told me that he had watched it a few times, David said.

You really think this military raid, shooting rounds off in the house with innocent people and little kids present was justified?
And if they were able to flush all their drugs down the toilet, they weren't bigtime dealers to begin with.
