The dogs were sequestered in the bathroom. The owners told the cops the dogs were in the bathroom and should be left alone. We once contacts the cops for an issue and I was in the bedroom controlling the dogs, The cops did not come into the bedroom so they were safe. I was anxious that the cops would shoot them. One was a pitbull and one was a basset hound mix. It is just a horrible situation. :(
By all accounts they had apprehended the subject of the warrant prior to murdering the animals. Was it really essential to “secure the toilet” after having the subject of their warrant in custody?
The police had no reason to rush the bathroom knowing there were animals that might not be happy to see strangers breaking into their home. The combination of being hopped up on adrenaline and the knowledge that there is zero accountability for needlessly endangering themselves and others is the sole reason.
The correct course of action would have had them call Animal Control to secure the dogs. But that’s not nearly as fun as kicking down a door and blasting a few rounds. This is literally why Boston Animal Control exists. We take over in cases the BPD isn’t trained to handle.

cops in that situation are facing tremendous risk and pressure
The subject of the warrant is the one to blame here.
Go home, Bootlicker.

How ignorant. You obviously
How ignorant. You obviously have no knowledge of the procedures for securing the residence of an individual with "multiple arrest warrants."
