We had a new cop join our small rural department a few years ago. He came to my house and maced my dog then claimed he felt threatened by the vicious Jack Russell. The police chief made the cop come back and apologize.

nope, not confined to ruby ridge. standard procedure for any raid by just about any JBT, shoot the dog first. a dog is always your first line of defense, not necessarily as an attack dog, but as an early warning system. JBTs don't like you knowing they are there until they are breaking in your door.
