SWAT Teams Routinely Kill Dogs
May 28, 2011 7:58 AM Subscribe
In 1968 SWAT originated as a tactical defense against violent criminals in the act of eminently threatening the safety and lives of others. Today's SWAT is primarily used as an armed offense to serve drug crime warrants (at the rate of 150 times a day in the U.S.). Brandishing state-of-the-art military gear and weapons, SWAT teams violently storm the homes of suspects and sometimes those of innocent citizens when teams mistake addresses. This protocol of using open attack to establish contact with suspects has resulted in numerous deaths of suspects, police officers and innocent bystanders. Any dogs that happen to be in the vicinity of a SWAT raid are routinely killed (SLYT- WARNING: violent animal death).
