Sorry for the mistake....should have read "Shoot Kick a cop dog...get 8 years. Shoot a cop dog....get the gas chamber. Cop shoots civilian dog....get a medal.
It's hard for me to believe a $3,000 bail would be set for just parking tickets.
Although it says the man did not sic his dogs on the police, I feel this bail represents some other charge in this matter other than the tickets, as the police need to cover their a**es.
And we know LEOs would NEVER lie....
The media could have run a story like this one on us:
"Police shoot three dogs while serving warrant" 'Animal rights groups horrified at conduct of SWAT team, shooting two dogs yesterday.'
"The police didn't need to shoot those dogs" said Joe Neighbor. "This is an outrage."
The Police SWAT team entered a house at 1212 Such and Such St. to serve a warrant on the owner. When they went in they shot the mans two dogs and gave no account of themselves. Two other dogs were taken from the house and taken to the pound.
See, I just created a media story that reflected one side of an incident that happened here in my city and that I was a part of.
We served a warrant on a nuisance crack house last year. There were several shootings by rival drug gangs because of the drug wars going on between them. The police dept. got criticized for not acting soon enough for some citizens.
These guys lived in a side by side duplex. We knocked at the back door and they barricaded it. We broke the door down and went in. We were told that they had pit bulls in the house that they had specifically for the police. When we went in a couple of the pit bulls attacked our guys and they got shot.
Unbeknowst to us, the drug dealers knocked a hole in the wall in the basement between the two duplex's and fled into the other side.
The dogs that did not get shot were taken to the pound. We found in the garage that the drug dealers had been letting their pit bulls tear other dogs apart trying to make them vicious.
But, a newspaper story like the one I made up could come out and people would be pointing fingers at the police saying how evil they are.
