It sounds so clinical, trying to subdue the dog. Much kinder than shooting it to death I'm sure.
Sometimes a good knife can be the right answer.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a good knife is the right tool.
ReplyDeleteHow about serving the warrants IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. Maybe then the dog would be less inclined to defend its territory. Better yet, follow the named person on the warrant away from his residence, arrest him, bring him back to the residence and conduct the search.
ReplyDeleteThen they wonder how and why they get shot and why a sizeable portion of the population hate them.

The cops serve arrest warrants at the subjects home deliberately, so that they can search the home and anyone else there "persuant to an arrest" without having a warrant to search the house or the other people.
