How much of this will the public put up with before it demands reforms and demands that police officers who do not respect citizens' rights are jailed? Police entered the home through an open window and without a warrant, shooting the couple's two dogs killing one of them. The couple who occupied the home say they have barely eaten or slept since the incident. Their bedroom is a bloody mess. The sheriff deputies were looking for someone involved in a neighborhood altercation who was reported to be armed. They noticed an upturned bucket under an open window in the couples backyard and and reasoned that the suspect may have climbed into the home.
The sheriff's department is playing defense.
“Upon encountering the people in the house, the dogs became aggressive. One dog bit at one of the deputy’s leg. He pushed the dog away, but it came at him again so he shot the dog in self-defense, at which time the second dog began to run towards him. For his personal safety, he shot the second dog.”
Bit at?
“Repeated attempts were made to get someone to open the door, with no success,” the release states. “Deputies entered the house through the open window in an effort to locate the suspect and to assure the safety of the occupants.”
The couple reports they heard nothing until they awoke to find the police in their home and their dogs barking. No one answers the door so naturally the cops feel free to enter through the window?
More.
