Let’s not forget that its because of the law that dope is worth more by weight than gold, leading to creating people willing to do all sorts of nasty, violent things to get paid.

Of course, the cops then can arrest some of these people and take their dope money to buy new guns/bullet proof vests/riot get/police cars, give themselves some new benefits and a higher pay, and hire some new guys. They can even use it to buy new radar guns and put cameras on every street light and street corner.

Forget that its marijuana in the first place, which has been shown to be less harmful than any other drugs, especially the legal ones, and has some beneficial medicinal properties. Big pharma can’t patent a plant, so they keep it illegal and try to synthesize the active chemicals, then charge people even more for it, when people could grow it in their backyards for free. It would probably give them a much needed hobby, too, and replace half the pharmaceuticals drugs they and us taxpayers are paying for.

All the while, people are in jail, dogs are getting shot, and old retirees who have paid their debt to society are getting their doors kicked in, over something as stupid as a little marijuana.

Also, there are two kinds of drug dealers: those that need a forklift and those that don’t. Maybe we should save the goon squads and firepower for the guys moving massive amounts of weight and not the guys who smoke a little weed to chill out and their housepets.

But its the law, so its alright that this kind of stuff is happening and we should just accept it and move on with our lives. Maybe we should turn on the TV and watch some sitcom or mind numbing reality show instead.

What is up with people and “that is the law” bullshit. Get the fuck out of here with that!

From the Reason article:

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."

I wish these fucking PIGS( and by that I’m not referring to cops but to these disgusting fucks shown in the video) get burned alive or die in the most painful way. Fuck em![/quote]

Really? Over shooting a dog? You just stooped lower than their level, congrats.

No.

For breaking into his house, killing his dogs, scaring his wife and children and generally being the bottom of the barrel of the human race.

And there is nothing you can do about it.

The western world is now that of a prison and we are all inmates.

I don’t know about American laws, but I would guess those police men were just paid to do what they did - if they didn’t do it, they would get fired, no matter if they liked it or not. So it isn’t really them you should be mad at, but the guys higher up. (Sorry for my english)

not true… what if you are a cop? Then you would be more of a prison guard rather than an inmate

Not really. Almost everyone in this so called “democracy” is an “inmante”. Look around you. There is not much freedom at all. Do you think that the majority of Americans spending more money than they make while getting in huge amounts of debt happens by coincidence?

29

Also for everyone saying how the police are so messed up and that ther raid is the real child endangerment why not just look at it simply:

The guy had illegal narcotics in his house (ok so it was only marijuana and a very little amount but there WERE drugs)

Without the presence of these drugs there would never have been a raid and none of this would have happened. Case closed right there.

Did the police take it a little too far? Maybe. It all depends on what really happened in that kitchen with the dogs. None of us know cause we weren’t there and the camera wasn’t filming what happened in the kitchen.

Police have to think with a worst case scenario mindset most of the time and that is sad. It shouldn’t be that way but we’ve all seen those Cops shows where an officer walks up to a car after a traffic stop and gets shot as soon as he gets to the window.

I’m not saying all cops or more specifically these cops are innocent and that they always make the right decisions but I was in some situations when i was in the military overseas that have caused me to be a little more sympathetic towards police.

just my opinion (well except for the whole “drugs are illegal and if drugs wouldnt have been in the house this wouldnt have happened” part)

Theres not much freedom at all? How so? Compared to what? I’m curious as to what your thinking is on this?

I was kind of be facetious with my first post about the prison guard thing

Not true.

They regularily storm into house because of false information and then they also shoot dogs.

Y’know police are humans and some SWAT teams do suffer from low standards right? I see fat officers. Chances are Columbia PD doesn’t have much funding for their SWAT teams right? would explain why you have a trigger happy cop who couldn’t recognize a non-threat.

I agree with both of your posts. I think it should be legalized, but as long as it isn’t that doesn’t mean your ideals supersede the law - this guy brought it upon himself.

Can we use this excuse at our jobs? Ya know some hospitals have low standards and some them employ surgeons that aren’t qualified and they kill people because they don’t know what their doing. hmmm. That’d be malpractice wouldn’t it?

SWAT teams should be specialists. They should know what the fuck they’re doing. What kind of maniac shoots a dog in a cage?

37

Don’t have illegal drugs in your home. I know I sure don’t.

So no matter what happens once they get in the house, it’s justified just because there’s a small amount of marijuana in the house. They shoot a caged dog…well they shouldn’t have weed in the house in the 1st place.

Would you say the same thing is a stray bullet hit the child? Honest question. Would you still say

“Without the presence of these drugs there would never have been a raid and none of this would have happened. Case closed right there.”

?

39

This action was way over the top. I am surprised (well, not really) that so many think this action is justified because they found some weed.

This is also why marijuana will meet much opposition when it comes to legalization…because look at how many people’s jobs depend on making sure that the stigma remains even though most scientific research is showing more benefit than harm from marijuana with some research actually pointing to possible cancer treatment.

We live in a country filled with sheep and leaders whose power relies on making sure those sheep never start asking questions.

The dog was NOT caged.
