Actually the family did do something wrong. Apparently the car was flying down the road at a high rate of speed, well above the speed limit. This was a factor that led the lady to call in to the police(she said it must have been traveling 110mph, which is surely an exaggeration, but I doubt she would have said that if the guy was driving just 5 miles over the speed limit.) So not only was the driver breaking the law(speeding), he was doing so in a manner sufficient to arouse suspicion.

This is in no way implying that I approve of the shooting of the dog, nor of the way the family was treated at the traffic stop(before and after the dog shooting). However the driver's actions was a contributing factor to the unfortunate situation. A series of errors led to the tragedy, and not just from the cops(the one wonders why with all the officers there one couldn't have shut the door).

Not that the vile cop-hating scum that spew all over these threads would ever take note of that.

"Apparently?"

Better to remain silent and let them think you a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Apparrently not speeding found one hour later 60 miles from the report of cash flying/(60mph)

''I was not speeding, but he was with me everywhere I went. If I went into the left lane, he went into the left lane,'' Smoak said.

So speeding is now reason for a guns drawn felony stop?

And excuses the lack of control of deadly force?

If you're not with us, you're against us. And there's a LOT more of us, than there are of you.
