It seems like we hear more and more about police officers shooting and killing people's beloved pets.
Sometimes, these dogs do try to attack, or at least threaten, the law enforcement officers, but other times, the dogs are just there, being dogs, and not doing anything wrong, and they are killed anyway.
This one seems particularly uncalled for !
When masked men broke into a 75 year old woman's house, they pushed her to the floor, and told her not to get up. She tried to tell them, she could barely walk, and had suffered two strokes, and had her knee replaced, so there was no need for the masked men to hold her down. They then proceeded to shoot her dog, leaving him to die a tortured death, as he ran through the house bleeding from the shotgun wounds in his body.
The horror-struck grandmother was then dragged out and placed in a police car. Only then did she even realize that the men in masks were actually police officers !
Left sitting in the police car, in the heat of summer, her beloved dog slowly dying in the house, she waited while the police then searched her house.
You ask as I did.....WHY, WHY ?
Apparently her grandson had 2 pot plants growing in the back yard.
Read the whole article and see the bloody trail left by the dying dog...
