For a lack of better words… This really pissed me off.

Watch this video. Warning it is very very disturbing.
Columbia Mo. police shoots family pets

There’s not really much that i can say about how horrible this video is.

This video is from 2/11/2010. In the video you can very clearly hear the cops fire several shots at the family dogs a corgi and a pitt bull that was in a cage when it was shot (the police claimed the dogs were a threat to the officers). This poor family seems just like any other family they seem very non-violent probably have normal jobs and are probably great parents to their child. It’s very unfortunate that this family was forced to go under this kind of treatment for what what they do in the privacy of their own home. The police raided this place bacause they believed that they were taking out one of the top drug dealers in Columbia Mo. In the end they only found enough MJ to charge the guy with a misdemeanor for possesion of maurijuana and also charged him with child endangerment. From the video it seems like the police have endangered this child by firing weapons in their house more than the parents could have ever endangered their child by smoking pot after he went to sleep for the night.

My entire life i’ve always heard claims that the US is the freest country in the world and Americans have more rights than any other people in the world. This video just shows how wrong all of those statement are. This kind of treatment of American citizens (any citizen of any nation because this is a basic human rights issue) has to end.
