off subject but still on the subject of police officers getting off with a slap on the wrist for doing too much, The police went to my sister and bro in laws house asking why their car was parked down the street (it had broken down and bro in law was going to get it in the morning) and when the police entered their yard (un announced) (Whole yard is fenced off) the family dog (red nose pit bull) looked up and began barking. She didnt charge at the officer, she didnt attempt to bite him, she just began barking...and the police shot her 3 times. Then they claimed that the dog charged at them. I know for a fact that she didnt charge at them because Winter (the dog) is a scaredy cat...the only female pit bull that i have ever known to be scary. But long story short, the cop is now under investigation. We are pushing for him to be suspended w/o pay. it makes me sick when those with authority abuse their power.
