We live in a world with laws. I for one feel that the laws that govern our societies are absolutely necessary. It is every human beings decision on this planet to make a decision on whether or not to obey the laws that have been implaced. If you make a decision to obey the laws, then you have nothing to worry about as far as living your life without fear of the police. If on the other hand you make a decision to not follow laws that are implaced, then you subject yourself to the consequences of disobeying laws. I know this, you reading this know this, and the woman that this discussion is about also knew this. She knew this when she decided to break the laws concerning possesion of cocaine and marijuana. Breaking a law has consequences, which I am sure we can all agree on, the consequences in this situation were having the police show up with a warrant. The police were not wrong in doing this, a mother with children using cocaine is not right in the eyes of not only the law, but me as well. The police show up with a warrant, and a police officer when going to serve a warrant prepares for the worst. Imagine yourself in a situation where you are going to arrest a criminal, you do not know what awaits you behind a kicked in door, it could be a mother with two children and two pitbulls. It could also be many armed drug addicts with automatic weapons. So a trained professional prepares for the worst, in this case the threat that these police officers faced (and remember, an assualt team has to make split second decisions when breaching a room) was two pitbulls, dogs react differently to different situations. I am sure we can all agree that none of us were there, and therefore cannot comment on how the two dogs in question reacted. Speaking as someone who has trained in room clearing, I can say that neutralizing the threat is of the utmost importance. The two dogs in the room after making a decision in a matter of seconds appeared to be the biggest threat, therefore they were neutralized. The two dogs were killed, for the police officers in question there is no more threat to their safety, now arrests can be made without any people getting killed. After arrests were made look at what really happened. Two animals were killed which was unfortonate, but a mother who was a hard drug user was taken into custody and her children who were subjected to a hard drug user are no longer in that situation. This mother knew the consequences of her actions, she knew that her children might possibly be taken away from her based on her decision to use cocaine. she ignored this fact, which makes me question her devotion to her children. Really what is more important, your children...or drugs?


To me, the good outweighs the bad, two animals were killed, yeah that sucks, but in the end two children are no longer being subjected to a mother who is a hard drug user who apparently cares more about using drugs than the possibility of losing her to children to the consequences of her actions.

therefore i still do not feel bad about this situation and feel that the police officers in question have done NO wrong.
