This may be my ever increasing pessimism kicking in, but I have a little doubt that the pot they "found" was even his. It wouldn't be the first time cops jacked up on adrenaline planted evidence.

This pisses me off. They take someone else's word as truth, wait 8 days, break in and kill the family dog in front of the kid and they police chief says "Yep, that's what we do, we shoot dogs. We wouldn't have to deal with this headache if we'd just shot a person (based on incorrect info, because our power is completely unchecked)..."

Well I think the planting evidence comment is a little out of control and offensive to all the cops on here.

Next I am not saying they should have done this, however they may have had little control from whomever ordered them to do this. I also don't necessarily agree with the dog getting shot, however, I didn't see if the dog was biting any of the officers or not since it didn't happen on the film. Yes, I absolutely would be pissed off at any organization who beat down my door, and if it was a wrongful warrant raid you can bet your ass that I would be suing the crap out of that city. If it was me it would be known as Kevinville, MO after I was done...but once again, I have no idea what their warrant was for, and what information came before that. Those officers may have been going off of really good information to get the warrant, everyone here does understand that warrants have to be approved by a judge right?
