Columbia Police Chief Justifies Killing Family Pets in SWAT Raid
In this video of a SWAT narcotics raid in Columbia, Missouri you’ll see heavily armed officers storming into a house, shooting one family pet dog and killing another in front of a small child, only to discover an insignificantly small amount of marijuana.
Columbia Police Chief Ken Burton justified killing the family pets as he describes the incident…
Three officers shot at the pit bull, and the first missed completely, which is when the corgi is believed to have been shot in the paw, he said. The pit bull acted aggressively toward a SWAT member again as they pushed into the home, which resulted in the animal being shot, he said. After being shot, it moved to attack a SWAT member, which is when the dog was killed.

These controlling powers are working to keep marijuana illegal as a pretext create artificial scarcity and jack up their profits, as well as to pack privately owned and run prisons with non violent offenders.
