[11th Earl of Mar]

During the raid, their 1-year-old shepherd-Akita mix, Little Bear, was shot at nine times and killed as he charged officers, police said.... Then, at least one officer fired at the dog three times, striking him once in the rear.

The dog was charging BUTT-FIRST?

You both need to re-read the article. Your comments seem to imply the dog was shot in the rear as he charged the officers (charging BUTT-FIRST?) but that's not what the article says.

I think the home owners do have a case that they were not given reasonable time to respond. On the other hand 79 plants seems like way more than needed for any one person's medical use.
