And you won't be able to sell me on he shouldn't if had one unless you can prove he abused it. Abused dogs are usually aggressive, didn't seem to be the case with this pup.

Either way, the dog was no threat to them.
I wouldn't surprised if we don't see a video soon where a SWAT team shoots a squirrel or a robin that happens to get too close to one of their operations.

Sure, Police arrest the man, send him to prison. Dog gets taken to an animal shelter and is euthanized.
Shelters normally don't send pets home with people that have a history of violence.

That dog was clearly a threat. First of all have you heard of the "21 foot rule?" Well dogs have a "41 foot rule." Dogs can run really fast and you never know when it can suddenly for no reason go for an ankle. A 8lb dog bite on a shoe presents an obviously unreasonable risk to the police officers safety. They may need to actually break out their first aid kit and apply Neosporin. Maybe even a saline rinse with a squirt bottle. That's expensive yo! Could bankrupt the department. Too big of a risk.
You all saw it. "It was coming right for us!!!"
Wisconsin has promised an internal review after a bizarre neighborhood dispute ended with a SWAT team killing a family pet. Resident Kim Polk told WITI that it all began when a neighborhood man’s dog had crapped in her yard on Saturday afternoon.
“His dog proceeded to soil my grass and I asked him you are going to pick that up because I don’t want that sitting on my grass,” Polk recalled. She said that the man responded by kicking the dog poop into a pile of leaves she was raking, and then threatening her family’s dog with a bow and arrow. When Polk’s husband went to talk to the man about the confrontation, she said that he came to the door armed.
“He closed the door and came back to the door with a machete in his hand, a very long machete so at that time my husband backed up off the property and I had my daughter call the police,” Polk explained. Disturbing cell phone video posted to YouTube shows tactical officers taking cover behind an armored vehicle, when a small dog runs out of the suspect’s home.
The dog appears to turn and head back to the home after spotting the armored vehicle, but officers quickly fire at least two shots and the dog falls to the ground. “Oh my God!” a person watching from a nearby home can be heard screaming. “They shot the dog. You f*cking a**holes!” Read more at www.liveleak.com...

Have you checked Youtube to be sure. I wouldn't be surprised.
Does this count.

Two weeks ago, Ray Schulze was working in a barn at the Society of St. Francis no-kill animal shelter in Kenosha, Wis., when officials swarmed the shelter with a search warrant.
“[There were] nine [Department of Natural Resources] agents and four deputy sheriffs, and they were all armed to the teeth,” Mr. Schulze told WISN 12. “It was like a SWAT team.”
The agents were there to retrieve a baby deer named Giggles that was dropped off by a family worried she had been abandoned by her mother, the station reported. Wisconsin law forbids the possession of wildlife.
“I said the deer is scheduled to go to the wildlife reserve the next day,” Mr. Schulze told the station. “I was thinking in my mind they were going to take the deer and take it to a wildlife shelter, and here they come carrying the baby deer over their shoulder. She was in a body bag. I said, ‘Why did you do that?’ He said, ‘That’s our policy,’ and I said, ‘That’s one hell of a policy.’”

I couldn't agree more. I also read a lot of history. My grandfather was in the 101st during ww2. He wouldn't recognize this country. He might think the Germans won..... Oh wait.....we brought all the valuable Nazis over here, they did win.

So you are saying that the cops did the little dog a favor by killing it?
Did you root for the wicked witch of the West when you watched the Wizard of OZ?
During this standoff, the dog owner threatened to use a body armor piercing crossbow to kill officers, and this subject threatened to use his dog as a weapon against officers as well.

That wasnt the part I meant, talking about the 0 assessing of threat the cops did before they decided to shoot the vicious attack dog that was running the other way.
