Oo I was watching it on my phone without sound cause the house was to loud.. but I thought I heard search warrant? If the dog jumps at a cop he's going to shoot.. no questions.. cops are disgusting but that's the way it is... right now. _________________ NORML.org

They killed a pit bull that was in a cage and a corgie. What kind of weiner would shoot a corgie? And a dog in a cage for that matter...in front of kids. The man was super compliant too. Just awful. _________________ I'm no scientist, but I do drink a lot of booze.
They shot the corgi in the leg and killed the pit because it was "violent." I know they are trained to take out all distractions that could interfere with their hearing and bring harm to the team but how the fvck can you shoot one of these dogs?

unfortunately this is one of the better outcomes. Many people have fired at the police thinking they are intruders and killed officers. For that they get sent to jail for first degree murder against a federal officer. A maryland mayors dogs were killed in a raid on the wrong house. This war on drugs is a joke.
I have lots of friends in columbia and have been there many time. The cops have never been the best to come across.
Real messed up that they killed those dogs, but that guy should have been thinking about his family and little son before dealing with drugs to begin with. The Police where there to get him and made a huge mistake by killing those innocent dogs, although we do not have footage of the Pit Bull, which can be a pretty aggressive dog at times, getting shot. Who knows if it was leaping at some1, maybe to play or who knows. Think what you would have done in a dark unknown place where an animal is leaping out you and your completely out of your element. I cant say anything about the corgie though, thats just pathetic.
Also, what constitutes a description of a drug house? Why would that not look like one? If you were dealing drugs would you paint your house in rasta colors and fly a bob marley flag over the garage? He obviously had some money because he had a nice place and nice furnishings including a TV and such. Why would you surround your son with drugs and such to meet the movie description of a "drug den". So thats is completely irrelevant.

hahaha are you kidding me... first off there wasn't anything in that house that even remotely looked like he was dealing drugs... i guarantee most the people on this site have more than a misdemeanor amount of marijuana and accessories at their place of residence at this moment... does that warrant swat to come in??? if swat came into my house i am absolutely sure my dog would come and jump on them because she does that to anyone who comes in, just to play... does that mean i was assaulting an officer?
from the looks of the video and the articles this guy had a leisurely hobby of smoking and wasnt endangering anyone... and the cops should apologize and something should seriously be done about the authorities... people are so worried about drugs when there are so many other things that could be done with pigs like these _________________ PAVT since '05/'06

I know this guy. He's no drug dealer. He owns his own ladscaping and curb coloring business. Curbstone LLC. Super nice guy. CPD jacked this one up bad and should be held accountable. Poor dogs. _________________ PAVT since '05/'06
Im not trying to justify the polices actions in this case, i hanvt read any article or anything im just saying the police have to defend themselves in certain situations, plenty of cops have died during their job. Think about the cop that first noticed the NYC car bomb last week, he went up to it and risked his life to make sure no1 would get near it and evacuated the area being within very close proximity to it.
And dude he has a small kid in the house, why would he have any smoking or drug paraphernalia anywhere? If i was doing drugs, i wouldnt want my young son to know about it, its simply not a good influence.
I do agree that this case was blown way out of proportion and those dogs should have never been harmed.
It sounds like to me that the cops were just doing there jobs if there is anyone that should be question it should be the two informants and Where they got there information. Maybe the informants had something against this man and just wanted to see him go down

most of you seem to be missing the point that having marijuana in your possession IS still illegal. this was obviously excessive on the part of the officers, and i cringed when they shot the dogs being a dog owner myself. BUT, if you dont smoke weed, this wont happen to you. ESPECIALLY when you have children. this is obviously a very heated topic, with the many opinions and stances on marijuana here on ws.com but until they legalize it, its still breaking the law. so to the cops: an absolute dissapointment and abuse of powers. and to the dude: dont smoke marijuana if you have kids
I realize weed's illegal, duh, and all of you who don't smoke say "don't smoke weed and this won't happen" yet you or someone close to you probably drinks or smokes cigarettes. I can't stand to do either of those things but i love to burn one down a few times a day and i don't see why the government thinks they can tell me i can't yet alcoholics and chain smokers get to use their toxin of choice unquestioned. Therefore, i continue to participate in something I see as my right, just as this guy probably did. It's just sad that our government is willing to go this far. It comes down to Mill's harm principal for me, and this dude was hurting no one. _________________ When it rains, it pours.
