INKSTER, Mich. -- Two officers were shot on Friday in Inkster.

Inkster police confirmed that officers had a search warrant to enter a home for undisclosed reasons. They said there was an aggressive pit bull inside the home. An officer fired three shots at the dog and the bullets went through the dog, and hit two officers who were standing near a back door, according to police.

One of the officers was hit in the ankle and the other was hit in the thigh.

The officers were transported to Annapolis Hospital, where they are in stable condition.

Police protocol- no matter what, shoot the dog. Then go home and masturate like the sociopaths you are.

This officer needs a bit more instruction on the proper use of a firearm. Never shoot in the direction of people. Unless they are what you are shooting at. One must take notice of what is in the background when you fire a weapon.

My concealed carry classes emphasized that we should always know what was behind what we were shooting at....

I would have done the same damn thing, I guess you have never seen photos of someone attacked by a pit bull.

Like another posted noted, you are in need of help. Dire need.

Prayers for the officers that were shot.

Do they choose targets where there are dogs to shoot? 10 years ago police were targeting houses to hit based on confiscated property values. Maybe some still are.

sounds like another case of overswatting with undertrained wannabes. “undisclosed reasons” indeed. in this day and age we can’t presume it was necessary for a dynamic entry, but it is always the first option because it’s so cooool.

how about “Knock. Knock. Sir, we have a warrant to search your house for ‘xyz’. If you don’t control your dog we will have to incapacitate it.” mighta worked better.

shoot the dog ... take the canoli

The perfect description of a “shotgun house’. You can shoot a gun through the front door and it will go out the back door.

I have a suspicion that the dog was the only one on the premises. Intruders break in, what's a dog going to do?
