SWAT team breaks into home, fires seven rounds at family’s pit bull and corgi (?!) as a seven-year-old looks on.
They found a “small amount” of marijuana, enough for a misdemeanor charge. The parents were then charged with child endangerment.
So smoking pot = “child endangerment.” Storming a home with guns, then firing bullets into the family pets as a child looks on = necessary police procedures to ensure everyone’s safety.
Just so we’re clear. (source)
There’s actually some footage of it (warning: it’s disturbing):
More on the incredibly stupid war on drugs and on the Fourth Amendment. More on the abuse of arrest powers here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. More absurd human rights violations.
