I couldn't have said it better myself. No-knock warrants are for the dogs. It's not like they knew there were violent criminals in the home in a hostage situation or something.

I've been reading other articles about this story (you go, Mr. Mayor! Keep this in the press!), and in one of them, when someonementioned that the dogs were shot because they were posing a threat to the cops, the mayor's retort was supposedly, "If you'd knocked I would've put the dogs away."

The mayor didn't see the shootings but can you imagine what it must have been like? A bunch of strangers with their guns drawn, the dogs were probably defending their home from these home invaders! They died trying to defend their home.

The more I think of this incident the angrier I get.

I really hope the mayor sues them, and I really hope he has the energy to move a the no-knock warrant mountain.

[Technically though, the warrant said nothing about it being a no-knock warrant. Apparently it has to say that on the search warrant in order for them to burst in like that.]

LAWSUIT!!!!!
