Police mistakenly raid Iraq War Veteran: unload into dog. - Polidicks

Adam Arroyo was not home when a Buffalo police narcotics team busted in Monday evening. When he returned, Arroyo found Cindy, his dark-brown, 2-year-old pit bull, shot dead. [QUOTE]The suspect named in the warrant was described as a black male and was wanted on suspicion of dealing crack. Arroyo is Hispanic and lives at 304 Breckenridge, upper-rear apartment, which has a completely separate entrance and is clearly marked on his mail box.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] How common this is and how often police get away with this is sickening.

What a dicks. Who ever is in charge of logistics should be reprimanded for this mistake.

Oops! Another victory for the war on drugs.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40956727]How common this is and how often police get away with this is sickening.[/QUOTE] Well, let's see. The police are responsible for dealing with those who break the law. Then the police break the law. Who the hell is going to deal with them? Nobody. So they get away with it. [editline]9th June 2013[/editline] It varies of course, but the police are always going to get away with a staggering amount of bullshit.

And yet we don't even know why the dog was shot dead.

They probably shot it because it was a pitbull, and they assumed that it was barking because it was about to rip their faces off or something-- and totally not because they broke into the guys house out of nowhere. poor dog :c

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;40956771]And yet we don't even know why the dog was shot dead.[/QUOTE] It might have attacked them or was being aggressive. But we will probably never find out, the police will most likely say it was being aggressive even if it was not. Although killing a dog for no reason is just wrong.

[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;40956800] Although killing a dog for no reason is just wrong.[/QUOTE] There are dozens of video's available on the internet of the police shooting none aggressive dogs while raiding or simply while walking down the street. In many cases these dogs were caged or being restrained by children.

It was barking in a hostile manner.

Clearly the dog had high capacity vocal cords and assault paws, he was a highly dangerous threat.

[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;40956925]It was barking in a hostile manner.[/QUOTE] It was giving dehumanizing growls and barks in the officers' general direction.

Well, not to justify it whatsoever because it's still despicable, but imagine if you were about to angle in on a suspect when a dog started barking loudly at you. Not only would it probably surprise an officer, who may or may not go itchy trigger finger thinking it might be hostile without looking first, but it could dangerously alert the suspect(s). But as Stinky posted, apparently the dog couldn't of done them any harm, so it was probably a bastard with an itchy finger that shot the moment he heard it barking. But we can only assume.

It needs to be both incredibly humiliating and functional in keeping them from ever getting a job like this again. Something like that would keep them in line. It seems strange that we even need to keep the [i]law enforcers[/i] on a short leash, but clearly that's the case.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;40956771]And yet we don't even know why the dog was shot dead.[/QUOTE] even it attacked them they would still be in the wrong because they went into the wrong apartment.

[QUOTE=Ekalektik_1;40956999] It seems strange that we even need to keep the [i]law enforcers[/i] on a short leash, but clearly that's the case.[/QUOTE] Public Unions allow them to get away with this. The union will protect them if they do anything and the government will have to comply. The police force seems to attract the worst people and the best people.

So they bust into the guy's house, shoot up the poor dog, and leave? What on Earth goes through their heads?

hooray one more for the war on drugs!

When are American FPers going to admit there's a problem with their police force/s

It happened in the shitiest part of Buffalo. The plus is it also happened in Buffalo so no one will remember or care in two hours at the longest.

What if the dog was the drug dealer

He had a very territorial dog, and a guy trespassed on his property. Needless to say, he got bit really badly by the dog, when my neighbor was out arrowhead hunting. Before he even returned home, the police had already shot his dog dead, and decapitated it, for the head to be sent to a lab to check for rabies. I know, dog bit someone, but if you trespass, and there's dogs, don't expect a bunch of puppies licking you, expect barking or biting.

this shit has to stop. there is no excuse for a police force that is so ready to kill something on a moment's notice. there's no excuse for a police force that can kick down the wrong door on a regular basis and get off without so much as an "oops sorry". they'll try to justify this shit to the end.

[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;40957342]Unless rabies can lay dormant or something, you'd think a cop would know that a house dog wouldn't...have...rabies.[/QUOTE] Rabies can lay dormant for up to a month. That's a really good thing, if rabies took effect after a week or so, people would be fucked, once rabies starts developing symptoms, it's nearly 100% lethal, and a nearly 100% chance of brain damage if you somehow survive it.

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;40957122]When are American FPers going to admit there's a problem with their police force/s[/QUOTE] Cause police back in Australia or across the pond are peachy clean and do nothing wrong, right? My dad's a bobby in Edinburgh, the amount of corruption they get there disgusts him.

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;40957122]When are American FPers going to admit there's a problem with their police force/s[/QUOTE] Who the hell wouldn't admit that?

Does he have grounds to sue? If he does he should definitely go for it. Also there needs to be a serious overhaul to the way police inquiries are handled over there, punishments need to be more severe and there needs to be an objective, unprofiting department that oversees all of this so police don't get let off with 2 weeks paid vaccation for murdering people. I actually think that a police officer that breaks the law while on duty should recieve a harsher punishment than a citizen would considering they are given authority over the entire situation.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;40956771]And yet we don't even know why the dog was shot dead.[/QUOTE] Even if it was tearing the officers apart, wouldn't have happened if they got the arrest correct the first time. They're completely in the wrong.
