Here's what happened (1):
"SWAT team breaks into home, fires seven rounds at family's pit bull and corgi (?!) as a seven-year-old looks on.
They found a "small amount" of marijuana, enough for a misdemeanor charge. The parents were then charged with child endangerment.
So smoking pot = "child endangerment." Storming a home with guns, then firing bullets into the family pets as a child looks on = necessary police procedures to ensure everyone's safety.
Just so we're clear."

Absolutely incredible. Truly incredible. As in, it's hard to believe this is credible.
Proportionate use of police powers is a concern in the UK but it doesn't seem anything like as concerning as 40,000 such episodes as this/year.
The true estimate I've read is between 100-120 a day. You figure 50 states at 2 raids a day in each state, is 36, 500 a year. It's hard to believe, but in such a large country, it is quite possible.
How can these men justify their 'job' to themselves? They shoot the dogs, terrorize the child and the family, and for what? A stash of marijuana?
Why was money spent on all those SWAT uniforms, helmets, door-smashers and last but not least, the videocam to record their magnificent adventures in law-n-order against supervillains and their vicious critters?? Isn't there something more worthwhile to spend taxpayers' money on down there in Columbia, Missouri? Somehow, I think there must be.
It's just so upsetting to think the police can be so brutal without any consequences.
