Cops knockin'? Wrong Address? Shoot your dog and let him suffer unattended for 3 hours?

Just doing his job.

Sheriff Jay Jones said the officer was serving a domestic dispute warrant. He said the individual they were looking for does not live at the address.

Dog owner Melissa Huddleston said, “And then he's like, does your dog bite, does your dog bite? You better get your dog; you better get your dog. And I was like, the dog don't bite, come here Blue. Boom! And that was...my dog was right there and he laid right there and he suffered for like three hours. He just laid there flopping around.”

Huddleston said she her nine and ten-year-old sons witnessed the entire thing. She said the worst part was watching her dog suffer. She wasn't allowed to tend to their dog Blue, because she said the deputy claimed the injured dog was part of a crime scene.

Yay, cops!

Any one of us can suffer loss of property, loss of liberty, loss of life because of a WRONG ADDRESS..

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Does anyone feel secure? I'm constantly looking over my shoulder and peeking out at passing cars and it isnt because I'm worried about crime.

Shes lucky they didnt shot everyone......or plant drugs on them, etc

Is it just me or are they not even pretending anymore?

"To serve and protect."

To serve warrants at the wrong residence....

and protect themselves from a dog that doesn't bite.

SICKENING.

Why should they pretend?

Like many other criminals they start out sort of petty and get away with it and just get more bold and brazen to satisfy the thrill.

Nobody is going to do anything about it.

The first time somebody was released from prison as wrongfully convicted the whole system should have been torn down and rebuilt. The first time a cop drew his weapon at or battered through the door of a wrong address the whole system should have been torn down and rebuilt.

But it wasnt. We just accepted that these "accidents" happen and keep on kicking in wrong addresses and locking up innocent people.

It would be funny if real lives werent being destroyed, real people werent being driven to despair and suicide, real people werent being killed but these things are all happening to us and we're paying for the pleasure to be random victims to a gang of thugs working for a corrupt system that seeks out convictions and revenge while ignoring the truth.

This is hell on earth for many many many people. And we're all okay with it.

Kafka's Trial isnt about some especially corrupt oligarchical system. Its about any system with this power. Where there are courts to judge you and police to arrest you there is corruption. Jury of your peers? That's the most Kafkaesque thing of all. The sick irony of having to put your life, liberty and property in the hands of 12 imbeciles who arent in your shoes is supposed to give you peace of mind that justice will be served? Sick.

Nobody cares until it happens to them! I have lost all hope! What do you think would have happened if in turn someone in the house shot him? It is in there home, The police had the wrong address. they had broken no laws and someone comes to there door and shoots the family dog? That would be a hell of a stand off.

If that happened to me I would have beat the deputy to death, maybe even taken his gun and pistol whipped him with it, American Police seem to think they can do anything to anyone and get away with it. America is becoming a police state and no one seems to be doing anything about it

^this. All day long.
I hate stories like this. It makes me full of anger. I detest the police at the best of times, this just ensures that hate stays a little while longer. What a horrble person this copper is. I hope he dies in the same way he made this dog die. It is what this PIG deserves.

Not against all police, but boy I've never seen so many minimally educated people given so much power.

Anyway, a song from Apartheid days.
Khawuleza: it means, "Hurry mama, don't let the police catch you".
We thought those days were gone in South Africa, but not so.

I can't imagine having to watch my dog suffer for three hours and to be prevented from attending to him - I couldn't do it

Police would have to shoot me too, to keep me from my best pal.

For this reason I am so glad that police in the UK do not carry guns - they are bad enough without them.

We need protecting from the police.

WOW this cop should be striped of his badge and heavily fined...this is an outrage

The best part of that is the excuse used for leaving the dog to suffer for 3 HOURS was that the address was a crime scene.

If it was the wrong address at what point did it become a crime scene? After the cop shot the dog?

And what the hell are cops doing at a WRONG ADDRESS for 3 HOURS anyway? Sitting around hoping it magically becomes the right address?

I just went through loosing the light of my life - a little dog who was suffering convulsions.
I can't even imagine the HELL these people went not even being able to attend to their dog.

Personally I'd be spending the rest of my life in jail if this had happened to my Lucy cause there'd be a dead cops blood on my hands if I had to use my teeth to rip out his throat. My dog doesn't bite copper, but I DO!!!

No no no no no no, this is just so utter WRONG it's unreal.
I hope that family OWNS the police department after this.
Too bad it's the taxpayers who will end up paying.

That wuss cop? Just watch, he'll loose his job and then take it out on his wife and kids.

Freaking 'big man cop' syndrome makes me want to retch!

peace

I live in fear for my brindle Amstaff. He has been trained from birth to gentleness and is the Nanny of the household pets and children( now almost grown) but, he has raised kittens, groomed his "pet" dove who sits on him and is there every time I change the fish's water.For "protection he is only valuable for his size factor, he would likely look for us to save him if the cops came in loud and hot.
And when the neighbors had a big row the cop that came to the door put his and to weapon when he came and asked what we heard and saw my big friend. I quickly shoved his big and curious head back inside and stood in freezing rain at 3am because I did not trust the cop not to hurt my dog.
My Booch is on "special treat" status with UPS and Fedex who love him to death and all USPS but one weirdo the others warned us about who hates all dogs( great job pick?) In short his rep is solid gold with all who live and work in my hood. That the local law does not know that and he would get a cap first thing if they came here looking for my crappy neighbor by mistake is such an outrage and real concern for us despite a fixed income and still recovering from major surgery we are trying to move. That and I am so sick of the jack asses with little raptor doglets barking and seething at the leash giving me and my big ole dog dirty looks as we walk the park.
For the record I did not even look at the link as I am in an OK mood and want to stay that way. Watched enough before to know how this crap plays out and it all just makes me farkin' sick.

Probably sat around eating donuts and drinking coffee, getting fatter and more useless - if that's possible.

My faithful boy would NEVER leave my side, and I'm afraid it would take more than a bully cop to keep me away from my lad when he needs me most.

I would take the cop's gun and ram it right up his arse before discharging every round in it.

this will only happen as long as the people will let this happen..

we shall overcome the tyranny of the nazi police state imposed on us through lies,and deceit.

the great Martin Luther King, Jr prophetic speech captures the feeling of all americans at this present time.


this man should of been the first black president,not the faker puppet obama

Oh those were the days: when having a mistress was a minor personal issue.
And starting a war based on lies was a major public issue.

I'd post how I really feel about these armed revenue collectors/domestic terrorists but it would probably be an extreme T&C violation. I wasn't aware puppies can defeat tactical boots,rip stop uniforms and body armor. If the guy was such a pussy that he had to put his anger into a small animal he could have at least tazed it.

There was a story in the news a while back where a man in Ohio was arrested for "barking back" at a police dog... I guess raising your voice at one dog and shooting another for no good reason is the difference between us and them. Can't even so much as 'bark' at a police dog but it's ok for the police to shoot your dog... I just don't get it, well no actually I do get it, but it's pretty damned sickening.

Kill a police dog and it's like killing an officer. Cops kill your dog and we must assume it's the same as if they had killed you. You're just a worthless dog who shouldnt have gotten in the cops way.

There are clear castes in society. The politicians and oligarchs sharing the upper tier with their corporate buddies.
The "warrior" class existing to serve the whim of the oligarchs that includes the military and federales. A sub-warrior class of cops and other paramilitary groups. And us on the bottom to be used as fodder without regard empathy or sympathy. And so many of us are too busy looking down on the worst of us and inflating our worthless status to see how worthless we really are to those above us.
