he police chief in Racine, Wisconsin has promised an internal review after a bizarre neighborhood dispute ended with a SWAT team killing a family pet.
Resident Kim Polk told WITI that it all began when a neighborhood man’s dog had crapped in her yard on Saturday afternoon.
“His dog proceeded to soil my grass and I asked him you are going to pick that up because I don’t want that sitting on my grass,” Polk recalled.

That is your question? Why did they have to deploy SWAT and armored cars for this? Unless the dog's poop was a biological hazard, or produced too much methane gas.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore with morons (the swat) like this running around.
“On a personal level, I am saddened over the loss of a domestic pet that more than likely, had no malice against anyone,”
“Officers, who for over three hours were focused on peacefully resolving this crisis through dialogue, were now forced to deal with the distraction and unpredictability of having the subject’s dog moving through the scene of this active encounter at a critical time.”

Sounds as though the police actually escalated the situation by using a swat team.
