And the basis for these warrants are always so factual. I mean what does a simple stoner have to fear if they are otherwise law abiding?
A grinder, pipe & "a small amount of marijuana". Good excuse to have your entire world turned upside down & your family pets murdered in front of your kids.
Yeah, I look forward to my dealings with them.
Family questions SWAT drug search that led to dog’s death


By Brennan David Columbia Daily Tribune </SPAN></SPAN>A man arrested on suspicion of drug charges and child endangerment said he is concerned with the actions of police who shot two dogs they described as “aggressive” while serving a drug-related search warrant at his home earlier this month in southwest Columbia.

Police arrested Jonathan E. Whitworth on Feb. 11 on suspicion of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and second-degree child endangerment.
A police SWAT team entered Whitworth’s residence around 8:30 p.m. suspecting a large amount of marijuana at the location, police spokeswoman Officer Jessie Haden said. SWAT members encountered a pit bull upon entry, held back and then fatally shot the dog, which officers said was acting in an uncontrollably aggressive manner.
Whitworth was arrested, and his wife and 7-year-old son were present during the SWAT raid, Haden said. A second dog, which Whitworth’s attorney Jeff Hilbrenner described as a corgi, also was shot but was not killed.
“The family is concerned with what happened,” Hilbrenner said. “We don’t feel like what happened in the home was appropriate. The priority right now for us is the misdemeanor charges.”
Police discovered a grinder, a pipe and a small amount of marijuana, Haden said. Because the SWAT team acts on the most updated information available, the team wanted to enter the house before marijuana believed to be at the location could be distributed, she said.
“If you let too much time go by, then the drugs are not there,” she said.
Drug distributors traditionally have a history with firearms, which is why the SWAT team is used when executing such warrants, Haden said. If the SWAT team believed they could have executed the warrant successfully during the daytime when the wife and child were not present, they would have, she said.

look at them, fucking pathetic, beign all sneaky and swat like for one dude with a ball and a few buds like seriously? so fdd, i did read the story the other day but forgive me for asking, what exactly did this young man do to have 4-5 cops following him like that? had it been a investigation for awhile? had they seen this individual purchase something in a shady area and decided to follow? Did they know/and or think they he was selling drugs? It just seems so odd, he walks in and they are like ready for him, and all of it without a warrant on top of it, its like they planned not giving a fuck and getting away with it, like they were going to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, however they wanted. Its actually sad to see, I know this may sound rash, but literally this is how countrys and empires fall. Pure corruption in the goverment from the bottom cop, to the top politician sitting his fat ass in the office we pay for while getting his dick sucked on some intern/lobbyist. This is the type of shit why Egypt is in turmoil, this is why Rome fell.....Its truely sad to see your own beautiful country falling apart right before your eyes......

Yeah you are a fool! U been in jail much? Well go back to public school because the police are not out to break in the peoples doors of nice people and if you are like me, live in a rich area, and u are related to a top top attorney and they fuck up and kick in your door, lol, then the city is in for it.. they don't do that except to known fellons honey. What do you think that the police are out to bust a 5 to 10 plant grow??? If you have 100 to 1000 plants an a $5000 electric bill in a 2000sqft house then you have that risk but your other crap is just crap.. U have to be on the radar to begin with for them to ever even think of lieing or framing u or kicking in your door without probable cause... Like I said if you could read u could see the law is on the books... Morons make me laugh and well being one you might just give them cause.. well I think at least they have cause to sterilize you so no more monkey people are born with your last name.... To funny!!!! Oh and all the police have to do is spend thousands upon thousands of dollars tasking choppers to your little house to infared it.. All those rich cops out there just take it out of their own pockets.. Not tv sugar... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!! Out of this stupid thread! Suspicion, to warrant, to court to show cause and then no more badge and a nice settlement from the cops that busted in your door and tramatised your family because the had a suspicion. ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL.... I hope they kick in my door and find my hot house tomatoes and I will make more from the lawsuit than anyone growing a weed.. LOLOLOLOLOL....
