“If you’re a dope dealer and you’ve got a dog, and you’ve got that dog to protect you, and you’ve got that dog to try and limit us, then you need to be aware of the fact that if it makes an aggressive move toward us, or anybody else, there is a possibility it’s going to be shot,” said Franklin.

Makes sense, but the problem is according to reports police are shooting dogs of people who aren't dealing dope, too. In many cases it seems to be the first thing they're conditioned to do when encountering a pet dog while answering a call.

They'd better rethink this policy or they're gonna be faced with a public relations nightmare.

Assuming they still care what the public thinks.

Dope dealers don’t use goldens as guard dogs. Goldens are more likely to show you where to find the dope than to protect it.

Also, the video, the website, pictures; none of it indicates if the dog was owned by the people who were busted or if the dog was a neighbor’s dog or owned by someone other than someone who was busted.

In the video, the dog is pretty stiff. It appears to have been placed in a white trash bag, wrapped in a blanket and placed on a bed. The video shows someone unwrapping the dog and at some point he says, “If I wasn’t so pissed right now I’d be crying.” The poor animal was just a puppy. If anything, it was probably trying to play. I’ve never met an aggressive golden. It’s just not in their nature.

All of that aside, if this video was made by the people who were arrested, then my assumption has to be that the cops busted some low-level street dealers in their residence and they bonded out shortly after being booked. They returned home to tend to their dead friend. If this is the case, then shame on this police department for their thug tactics against these dealers. I’m not advocating what they’re doing, but to blow down someone’s door with a SWAT team, shoot the family dog, and all to bust some street dealers is inexcusable.

The family dog is now another victim of the “War on Drugs.”

They no longer give a damn about what the public thinks. They have the badges to give them the authority, the guns along with the will and eagerness to use those guns. They are now faceless, mindless bureauctats following the dirctions of those in the next layer above them.

A bureaycrat is the most dangerous individual in the world. They obey without question any order they receive. They kill any who they are ordered to without question, remorse, or pity. It is the bureaycrat s who carry out the dictator's directive to kill whom, when, where, and how.
