This video shows a search warrant served by the Columbia Mo. police
department. The cops bust in this guys house in the middle of the night and
shoot his two dogs (one a pit bull that was caged in the kitchen and the
other a Corgi) with children in the home. The officers found a small amount
of cannabis, and so they arrested the parents on a charge of child
endangerment, naturally.

"This is the blunt-end result of all the war imagery and militaristic
rhetoric politicians have been spewing for the last 30 years -- cops dressed
like soldiers, barreling through the front door middle of the night,
slaughtering the family pets, filling the house with bullets in the presence
of children, then having the audacity to charge the parents with endangering
their own kid. There are 100-150 of these raids every day in America, the
vast, vast majority like this one, to serve a warrant for a consensual
crime."
