Police overreach: “Oh, God, I thought they were going to shoot me next”

It is not surprising that they shot the dogs. What exactly do people think dogs do when a bunch of strangers aggressively enter the dog's territory? Even the most well-behaved dog is going to be barking and bearing its teeth.

The real problem here is the complete lack of accountability when the police raid the wrong house. When a team of soldiers damages a person's home, threatens to kill people (yes, that is what you are doing when you point guns at people), and kills their pets, they should be put in prison for recklessly endangering the public. That might make them think twice about using soldiers to enforce the law.

There's a word for people who think nothing of killing pets, and it's psychopath. Animals are not people, but a pet is emotionally equivalent to someone's child. If they don't see that they belong in prison, not on the police force.
