One warrant shows police were looking for any kind of legal or illegal drugs. The other shows police were looking for a stolen X-Box video game system. No drugs and no stolen games were found--and no one was arrested.

A C.I probably gave the cops the wrong address. This happens more often than you think.

Two warrants? One of which doesn’t even specify the specific drugs they were supposed to seize...anything ‘legal or illegal’?
Sounds more like a fishing expedition to me.

They weren’t looking for a stolen X-Box.

Mistakes like are inexcusable. You’d think a police stakeout of the location would have uncovered the truth. The city is liable for damages and it also faces a lawsuit. Its not easy to hold rogue cops accountable.

“A C.I probably gave the cops the wrong address. This happens more often than you think.”
Who cares they are suppose to be officers of the law not gossips. They need to conduct an investigation beyond what some informant said. Either the judge that issued the warrant or the cop that lied to the judge or both need to go.
And if they have a valid warrant, the need to behave reasonably why executing it. You see that execute means CARRY OUT, not you get to execute the dog. Chickens.

I LOVE dogs, but sorry, when this happens for silly reasons I honestly think the same # of cop dogs should automatically be put down, with the handler present.
Cop work now just “isn’t cool” if they can’t get gussied up in nomex kook gear and hurt innocent people.
When a country fights a long, low-intensity war, soldiers are ordered to act like cops, and the cops gradually begin to act like soldiers.

They are practicing on ordinary citizens. In another year they will be actually shooting the residents of the houses they "mistakenly" raid and they will get paid vacations as rewards for their efforts. This is part of our totalitarian future and it is not the far future.

Sounds to me like this kid has gotten into trouble before and probably ticked one of the cops off.
Payback is hell.
Certainly these cops didn’t pick this house out of the blue to go and harass.
They may be sorry they executed the dogs and started this fishing expedition.

Our house was raided by mistake by the King County Swat Team shortly after we moved in. They made a giant mess. I was gone. They held my wife against the wall while they searched the house. Fortunately our wiener dogs were contained. My wife was furious. We never received an apology or even a coherent explanation.

from you:
“...They werent looking for a stolen X-Box...”
from the article:
“...we were able to get copies of the search warrants. One warrant shows police were looking for any kind of legal or illegal drugs. The other shows police were looking for a stolen X-Box video game system. No drugs and no stolen games were found-and no one was arrested...”
To: goldstategop
This kind of jackboot behavior is occurring more frequently. Local police have become militarized and seem to enjoy rolling out the SWAT gear every chance they get. These clowns ought to receive the harshest punishment possible for such inexcusable conduct. Also note these brutal types never miss an opportunity to kill family dogs, whether aggressive or not. Again, no excuse.

Yep, and the bootlickers will be here shortly to tell us how “RARE” and “unusual” these “mistakes” are.
I don’t hate the police. I hate jack-booted thugs with badges who think they are a para-military group, and we the public are mere civilians, and all suspects.
I once told a cop that called me a civilian that I was a CITIZEN, no less than he was, and the only difference between he and I was that he had been entrusted with enforcing the law.
Truncheons (nightsticks, for those in Rio Linda) don’t taste very good.

“Payback is hell.”
No pay back is illegal. And the punishment for crimes under the color of law are appropriately severe. Though apparently not severe enough to deter these criminals, if your conjecture was correct.
