Round Rock police shot and killed a dog Friday inside its owner's home. The owner was at work when it happened.

Russell Lane says he got an alert that his alarm system was going off this morning. Minutes later his neighbor called saying shots had been fired inside his home.

To say it is a “law and order” county is a gross understatement. People literally avoid restaurants and bars in WC due to very aggressive cops and DUI prosecutors!

Can you say:

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”?

I knew you could. Wonder if the local government compensates the restaurants and bars for the loss of business? **snicker**

Pepper spray would stop the dog but it’s obvious they would rather practice their shooting at close range.

I know for a fact that skunk spray stops my dog every time. He’s been taught a lesson three times now and I think being sprayed just makes him hate them more.

I think the problem here is that people seldom realize that a burglar alarm is legally similar to a “hue and cry”, so that if one goes off, it effectively removes 4th amendment protections against police search.

Even in the absence of a burglar alarm, if some “unidentified informant” says that your home is being burglarized, that is usually all the excuse the police need to bust in.

Right now, there doesn’t seem to be any mechanism that effectively can prevent a warrantless police raid on your home, with or without any legitimate reason for doing so.

an officer made 8-10 announcements of police through the cracked front door

Probably the dog didn't understand "police" in English?

I didn't get that impression (People literally avoid restaurants and bars in WC due to very aggressive cops and DUI prosecutors)..... Round Rock is known for its distinctive donuts.

Interesting point.

Although repeatedly warned the dog refused to back down. :-)

There might be an advantage to training one's dog to lay down (or better "play dead") on the command "POLICE!"...

This is exactly why I do not why ever turn on my system.

I may as well not even have it.

My dog is the more important than anything in my house, and I’m pretty sure she’ll keep a burglar out.

I would be extremely pissed if this happened to her.

Two points:

1. People get the government they deserve. Police are a reflection of society.

2. People get the government they deserve. Cops do this because they know damned well that they'll get away with it. Ever notice that none of them are ever indicted/prosecuted? That's because, like literally every other institution in America, liberals control the justice system. A liberal prosecutor isn't going to indict a cop that is terrorizing the populace.

Do not call 911, do not call the police, do not set up alarms that the police can respond to. The police are not your friend, THEY ARE THE ENEMY!

The government is not your friend. There is no one to call for help.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Never call the police. For anything. Ever.

Take care of it yourself. Discreetly. SS&SU.

[CurlyDave]

There are three armed cops, and they are afraid of the dog to the point they shoot it.

Now, explain to me again why they felt it was necessary to “clear” the house, when the dog was already doing a very good job of making them fearful to be inside?

[saleman]

I would generally agree with that.

However...about 6 mo’s ago a “man”, not really, POS, called my house and threatened to kill me. Actually said “I'll be there in a few minutes and I'm gonna kill you”. I called the police. Didn't want to. Thought about it thoroughly before I did. Reason being, If he had shown up I would have killed him. And I really don't relish being in jail for 20 years or so. So, I called the cops. They already knew about this P.O.S. so I basically got free reign to shoot.

I really didn't want to have to call them. But, I thought I had no choice.

[TheOldLady]

Oh my Lord! That poor man. He was crying over the death of his "best friend." I hope he sues the
snot out of those, as he so aptly calls them, "murderers."

The JBTs were so stupid that they couldn't read the sign announcing a large dog in the house?

This crap has got to stop. All this dog killing is a way to intimidate the American people. The 70-IQ
police departments that are also jacked-up on 'roid rage (which I happen to think is 'roid cowardice)
need to get back to 120+ IQs and "protect and serve."

All this wonton killing of family pets started when the police and psych testing were dumbed down
several years ago to fill the forces across America with these murdering thugs and morons.

Are you an intelligent, law-abiding citizen who wishes to keep the peace? Sorry, you don't make the
grade to be an officer a pet slaughterer and jack-booted thug of the law.

Take heed. Listen and learn from these words of wisdom.
