First, this woman's kids should be put in a foster home, if it can be proved she knew of her son's drug dealing.

Second, as a pitbull owner, I would shoot the dog, too. You do not wait for a pit to bite you before you eliminate it as a threat.

Third, there is no tolerance for drug dealers. "Only $60 worth of pot" is $60 more that is allowed by law.

What do you do when you are kicking in doors and an angry kitten jumps in front of you? Do you blast that animal as well? Give me a break. A dog can be tasered. The cops that choose to shoot the dog instead are evil.

I know I feel tons safer knowing doors are getting kicked in and family pets are getting murdered so people can be stopped from having marijuana.

Sixty dollars' worth of pot warrants a no-knock police entry employing paramilitary tactics and costing the taxpayers thousands of dollars---both for the operation and ensuing legal fees because of the damage they did?
