Only one side of the story is being told. It doesn't say why the cops shot the dogs. If the constables have served hundreds of warrants without incident, what happened this time that there was an incident?

The story doesn't say. I've been in alot of houses with dogs and had no problem. I've also been in houses where the people won't put their dog away and they tell me "he won't bite." The next thing you know, I've got a dog biting my ankle.

It's easy to make the cop look like the bad guy when the whole story isn't told.

In Texas, a chief constable is elected, then he appoints his crony friends to be deputies. None of them have to be law enforcement officers when elected, and they're given some cursory training.

IOW, they have no business carrying weapons. Stories like this illustrate why. And why does it take more than one to serve a warrant for parking tickets?

Constables are political hacks, not lawmen.

Oh, I agree with you. I'm just letting you know that this information really sticks with us. Police spokespersons have chances to splain facts, but give no comment usually. No wonder the stories are slanted.

An internal investigation, a few hours of additional training, and nothing else is done.

I love dogs. I would never have three of them living in my house. I'm sure there is more to the story. But this is what we are left with to shape an opinion.

Thanks for the reply.
