Just on WKTV news. Some idiot cop shot his gun through an apartment window of a lady with her baby in the same room trying to serve a summons. What a stupid thing to do. They are gonna do something to cause a riot in this city. Hope the cop is fired.
Check with WKTV.com for story. Who know when it will hit print in the Utica OD newspaper.

What better judgement could they have used? Were they to allow themselves to be attacked by a drug dealers attack dog? Yes, the lady or her kid could have been killed, but THEY WEREN'T. Living in the "hood" in recent years is simply a dangerous environment. The pellets from a shot gun simply penetrated the ceiling of the apartment down stairs and caused falling plaster. By the time the shotgun pellets penetrated a floor and a ceiling, they probably had little velocity left to do much harm. Sadly, the innocent dog did nothing but what they had trained it to do. A dog is often no more aggressive than it's trainer makes it. I might have opted for a second shot at the scumbag that sicced the dog on the cops. Self defense, as I would imagine that the dirtbag had an illegal weapon close by somewhere in the house. Don't kill the sorry bastard. Just take out a knee cap or two and insure that he doesn't have a chance to get to HIS weapon, and insuring that doesn't walk again for awhile, while doing his hour a day rec yard time in prison. I have NO inclination to doubt the Utica Police Dept. officers in any action during these drug busts, and I simply pray for them all to be able to return home after their shifts in that combat zone called inner city Utica. Simple answer is that if you are involved in a crime, or innocently at the scene of such an event, you may sadly become injured by accident.

The obvious solution here is to send the cops back to range practice so they don't miss. The bullet would then lodge in the dog and not go through the floor. That would probably not be well received, so I'll let someone else suggest it to them.  |

The way it appeared to me, it was a scatter gun, and stray pellets penetrated the ceiling. Hell, if I were executing a no-knock warrant on a drug dealer, and a pit bull came charging, I would empty the scatter gun and probably a magazine full of 9 mm too. I don't know what the tv news said, but a written account that I read stated that "pellets penetrated the ceiling."

In for a penny, in for a pound. Landlords there don't give a crap who they rent to and it didn't look like much of an "apartment" on the news. They sure played the victim as much as they could. You enter an apartment with a "no knock" warrant for an armed person with a stolen weapon..... You and several of your brethren pile in behind the smashed in door..... A pit bull lunges at y'all ready to rip out a throat, you have about 2 seconds to decide what to do....... 1 2 Too late, ultimate fail.  Next point? |

Now that my knees are functioning again, I walk at about 3 mph. In 2 seconds I cover about 15 feet. I'm 68 and not particularly fit. A pit bull can move a lot faster than I.
