Our police have always had sociopathic
members, but they didn’t use to have machine guns
A SWAT team pours into a house, encounters a pit bull and a corgi. They claim the pit bull was acting in an uncontrollably aggressive way, so they shot and killed it, they then shot the corgi too. It lived.
Watching this was a 7 year old boy.
The big stash of dope never showed but they did find a small amount of pot and some paraphernalia needed for personal use.
Now the story gets weird. The SWAT team clearly had bad intelligence. A dog was killed another wounded and a family traumatized. The right thing to do is take the hash, and walk away. Maybe even say “sorry”. So naturally they charge the father with child endangerment.
Who was shooting up a house? Who shot a dog protecting its home? In other words, who endangered the kid? The police did.
Look, I support our police, but not this. Sounds like this bunch are arrogant and refuse to admit mistakes. Maybe the Dad is a scum, I don’t know. But bad intelligence also included wrong addresses. And we need cops with humility, not with arrogant armed certainty.
All this stems from a drug war we should not be fighting.

I function with these dogs and as far as animal behavior goes, I am a strong believer in nurture and education. I have met Jack Russell Terriers that I would not go near again, but have never had a bad experience with an American Staffordshire Terrier. If you are talking about their owners- nicely, that’s a diverse story. Human beings are animals as well, and we have a tendency to every have our unique concepts about “moral concepts”.
