A video of an extremely violent and terrifying police raid has gone viral.  Officers broke into the house of a family to serve a drug warrant, shooting the dogs that were kept as pets while a horrified 7-year-old child looked on.  Watch the video and hear how the dogs scream and scream after getting shot once, before being put down for good.

And never forget that there was a small child just feet away from the fusillade.

Fuz, a man who knows from which end the bullet emerges,  has presented a fascinating question.  Since the very basis of modern policing is based on Sir Robert Peel’s basic principles, in how many ways does this raid violate those simple rules?

This is a very good point, and one that should be considered by the person who first presented it.  I can’t turn off comments for an individual post, so please click on over to Fuz’s house to make your voice heard.
