...I yelled at the dog to get back, but it attempted to circle me to attack, so I felt that I had no option but to protect myself," the officer wrote in a police report....

John, how many times have we read these types of lies after police raids, when there was no video record to contradict them?

I saw the video. There is a marked difference between the way a dog acts when it is attacking and the way that dog came out of the car. It was bouncing along with its tail wagging side to side, not "circling to attack".

I also wonder what crime they were to be suspected of/arrested for. An unknown caller reports an odd incident and suddenly this family is Bonnie and Clyde?

This was an enormous screw up by those cops, and now they are scrambling to do damage control. We should be thankful their ineptitude didn't kill a person.
