When a SWAT team stormed into a family home one late night in 2010, what was meant to be a ‘routine’ raid on a drug dealer, turned out to be something more. On February 11, the Whitworth’s City of Columbia home was raided after information led the SWAT team to believe that he held substantial quantities of Marijuana on the property.
The SWAT team stormed the premises late in the night after busting down the door, shortly after, killing the owners dog, which you can hear whimpering in the video, and wounding the other family pet in front of his 7 year old son and wife. They were then held just feet from the dead dog while Jonathan Whitworth was arrested. In all, several shots were fired at the dogs.

The police believed Whitworth was a major drug dealer, but later it was discovered that the raid only turned up a small quantity of marijuana, a grinder and a pipe. Since the raid, Whitworth has pursued a civil suit against the police department for damages ranging from vet bills for the injured dog and counseling for his family. The case has since been dismissed in late 2011.[1]
But it seems not everyone has forgotten the case and wants to remind the community of that eventful night. Claiming to have hacked the city’s websites in retaliation, the “Bit Coin Baron” has announced their dissatisfaction with the handling of the entire situation.[2]

Weed is dumb shit?? Tell me since when is weed dumb shit? Have you ever heard of a pot head blowing something up, killing someone, or even having any hurtful thoughts?? Weed is a calm drug. Shouldn’t even be called a drug for all the useful abilities it has. I have not found 1 thing wrong with weed. So the real dumbass here, is you. Fuckin moron

The Bit Coin Baron has done so much to make this a better world. Perhaps he should be awarded a Noble Prize.
In the UK they don’t shoot dogs. They use fire extinguishers to scare the dog.
Of course the case was dismissed. Seems like even if the cop were to decapitate someone in custody they would get the case dismissed also…

Police? … Friendly?… Where do you live? *Relocates*
In my country police are friendly too…. I know many of them and all of them are ok… Like when we wasn’t in school and was sitting near police station one cop came and told us to go somewhere we can’t be seen… 😀 then I explained him that we have free hour… 😀 nice guz I like him… Not like those in USA…
