SWAT team busts into house and kills 2 puppies over a gram of weed

first of all he wasnt armed so why shoot. nor the dogs. this is some of the reasons why i dont want to be a police anymore. makes me wanna listen to that song buy NWA **** the police.

Clearly they expected something different considering they used a swat team to search the house. At most I thought one dog would get shot by spooking an officer maybe, but two of them? Ehh doesn't add up. Most likely the dogs weren't caged.. who the hell cages dogs in their house anyway?

Yet people talk about kill streaks when some Chinese wacko stabs over 20 kindergarten children. Yea I really should feel sorry for this dog. :roll:

As others have pointed out, the OT has some disturbingly backwards views. The recently bumped topic with the man getting shot on camera also confirmed this for me.

I saw posts saying stuff "I liked the hitman's style", and "he should have given us a show, and used hollow-point bullets", also "that was awesome"- despite the likely hood that this same assassin has likely killed innocent people in the same fashion (the mafia practically has no limits in it's targets).

One look at here, and it's the opposite, people say stuff like this guy should be "beaten in prision", etc. Yet if I say, "wow, I thought that officer's style was awesome, why didn't the camera man show us the action, I wanted to see the dog's brain splattered against it's cage", someone will call me out on it...

The mafia doesn't generally go around killing innocents like generic gangbangers. It's bad for buisness.

The reason people are likely more upset by this than an adult human dying is simple. How often do you see a person killed in a video game or movie? How often do you see a puppy killed in the same media genres? Theres your answer. One happens all the time, thus we are de-sensitized. The other doesn't, there for it still strikes a chorde.

The mafia WILL kill anybody they want, if they find a decent enough (in their eyes) reason to. Just because you see a lot of people pretending to die on TV, that gives people a good enough reason to make jokes about it? Even if they KNOW it is real, and that the assassin that they like and enjoy so much is an actual criminal and shoots people down in public?

The reason people get so defensive is because the dog is cute and furry, as opposed to an ordinary human (who could possibly have a family and kids) who gets killed on camera.

EDIT: I say that as a dog lover myself.

I don't really care if they are self aware or not, better they took it out on the dogs than the guy.

Errmmm I never stated or even remotely inferred that one of them had to die. All I am saying better the dogs than the guy.

[QUOTE="balls_out"]Why does it have to be either of them? You make it seem like they have to take out one of them, either the dog or the guy. They could have just handled it peacefully and not killed anyone.bruinfan617

Also the mafia killing topics. Some of the users on here are morons (I don't care if you mod me for saying that, because there is no justification for some of the comments (they call them jokes) people make on here). I know with certainty, that people would say things like, "wow, that was an awesome kill".

I don't see the dogs dying as a tragedy at all. I'm more worried about the traumatized kid. It seems though that OT value the lives of animals over the lives of humans.

Just look at some of the responses in this topic http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27304825

That is the very sad part. Even though I am fairly misanthropic and love animals/nature, I will never value their lives over an equally "innocent" human. Many(not all) people B!+c# and moan when the"cuddly" and/or "cute" animals die, yet if there is a topic about people needlessly dieing, it will hardly get as much attention. On a side note, I do see it as a tragedy that the dogs had to die, but those officers deserve NOTHING near torture, like some fools have claimed.

That's completely understandable man if that happened to you (hope to god it never does). I'm just talking about the people who value an animal's life so much over a human's, when they are very close (emotionally) to BOTH species. It's most likely because many people think animals are "innocent", and allhumans are "tainted" :roll: I don't not like people in general either, but at least I realize that not EVERY human is evil (Not saying you believe this).

I should have rephrased that. I only really get upset when a dog or good written character dies. It's because I grew up with dogs my whole life.

WTF who shoots a corgi?

A SWAT team?! God, thats a tad excessive for just one damn gram of weed.

Vesica_Prime

I thought I could handle the video, but when I heard the dog start crying I wanted to throw up.....

Another disgusting display as to how screwed this country is...

Saying I'm shocked would be a gross understatement.

shooting the pit bull i can understand, i have seen on a couple of incidents the amount of violence they have. but the corgi, thats just f'n sick. I have never been a fan of the police and this depicts one of the reasons why.

Hey I linked to that topic first! I want a medal. :evil:

Talk about a good use of tax payers money :roll:.

Fail for whoever issued the warrant and fail for the SWAT for shooting the pitbull 7 times. Of course its going to be aggressive. If someone knocked down my door and rushed in my german shepard would get aggressive too. All of this and the dude didn't even have narcotics. If I was him I would be extremely pissed off at the police force. Everyone on the SWAT team should be kicked off the force and stripped of their pension.

what the hell? the SWAT team should be out catching REAL criminals :roll:

I remember watching Inside Edition a few years ago and they had a report where some officers pulling over a car suspected of robbery. So when they asked the driver of the family, who also had kids present, to step out the car, a puppy bulldog also jumped out the car, only he started barking at one of the cops who had a shotgun. Instead of allowing the family to retain the dog, the officer with the shotgun decided to kill the dog at point blank range with a shotgun. That officer received death threats for nearly a year.

Ah, I found the video. This is the actual footage, though the quality is terrible. When I saw it on t.v, when inside edition was covering the story, the first time they showed this, they actually showed the dog getting shot. You can plainly see the dog head being obliterated and its body rolling off to the side. I was shocked that they showed something so graphic on regular t.v. But when they did a follow up the next day, they zoomed the camera toward the center of the screen so it didn't show the dog being shot. Even though the video quality is bad, I will still warn you that it's pretty graphic.....

I just noticed, you can read the description of the video to find out what happen...

This is why weed should be legalized. If you replaced that gram of weed with cigarettes or alcohol, everyone would be in an uproar.
