Police in Newport News, Virginia executing a search warrant broke down a door and promptly shot and killed the freaked out dog living there. The dog bit one of the officers and was then shot by two other officers, despite the fact that the officer was wearing protective gear and was not harmed by the bite.
Officers confiscated five pounds of marijuana, thus winning a major victory in this epic DRUG WAR of doom.

June 2010 - Police Kill Dog in Washington Maryland
Washington, Maryland - Police serving a warrant for a man who hadn't lived at the property in more than 12 years ended up killing a confined, mixed breed dog. The owner of the property (grandmother to the "suspect") asked to put her dog in the backyard or bathroom. Officers told her the bathroom was fine. She complied by restraining the dog properly in the bathroom. At some point, an officer I can only describe as an idiot opened the bathroom door. When the dog barked, the officer shot the dog, killing the 13-yr-old dog.
Nothing of interest was found at the house.

Columbia SWAT Kill Barking Dog
A SWAT team was used to enter a home and confiscate a small amount of marijuana. In the process, a barking dog was killed and another dog wounded. There is video, and you can hear the dog bark, then scream in pain and agony as she is shot. No officer can be heard yelling at the dog - you hear a couple barks, then an immediate gun shot, followed by screaming, then more gunshots to kill the dog.
A child was present.

Police shoot dog during drug raid
Lubbock police assisting the DEA in a drug raid shot a pit bull defending the property. Animal control was contacted and the dog was killed in an unknown method.
Fascinatingly enough, no mention of whether drugs were found, arrests made, if Lubbock is somehow safer from the real threat of drugs.

Farmington police shoot dogs attacking suspect
This is a really sad story out of Farmington, New Mexico that may have still occurred even if the dogs owners had been home at the time.
Police were attempting to arrest a suspect after they found $100,000 worth of methamphetamine in his house. The suspect attempted to evade arrest by jumping into the neighbor's backyard.
Unfortunately, two territorial dogs lived at the house and were housed primarily in the backyard. They attacked the suspect but apparently did not attempt to attack police who followed. Police had to make a decision and ended up shooting the dogs, killing one and wounding the other.
The person arrested and his "drug gang" sold about 10lbs of meth weekly. At the very least, the dog stopped him from escaping.

Papillion shoot dog in empty house
Papillion police shot and killed a dog who was doing a dogly duty and protecting his territory. The police were serving a warrant for the dog owner's son. No one was home at the time. The landlord of the property asked police if they wanted her to unlock the door or take the keys. Instead, they used a battering ram to bash in a door, freaked out the dog and shot him twice.
When the owner of the dog arrived, it would be another hour before they released the still-breathing dog to him. By that point, it was too late and the dog died at the vet hospital.
The dog growled but did not bite anybody.

Baltimore police kill dog during warrant, find nothing
Baltimore police were issued a warrant to search a house. In lieu of knocking, they kicked in the door and started shooting at a large dog in the house. The dog actually ran upstairs to avoid police where she was followed and shot several more times. The dog died. She was shot in front of screaming children and the homeowners.
The warrant was issued to try and find marijuana. Yes, pot. Maybe weapons.
Police completely trashed the house for nothing. No drugs. No weapons. Zero indication that these people were violating any laws.
Beside killing their pet, police left the police in shambles. It is unlikely the police department or city will reimburse this family for the damage - they *might* reimburse them for the destroyed door. It's doubtful that an apology will be issued....that might imply, you know, that police did something wrong (like breaking into a home w/o any drugs or weapons).
I mean, just imagine it -you're sitting at home with your kids, your dog by your feet. All of a sudden, armed invaders kick in your door. You pause, frightened and confused. Your dog jumps up, maybe barks in alarm. Your kids start crying. Then, before you can even ask a question, these armed intruders aim their weapons at your barking dog and shoot. More than that, they follow the frightened animal where she has tried to escape to nurse her bullet wounds and they continue to shoot her until dead. And they're the police, the ones who are supposed to be protecting you from bullet wounds and vandalism. Scary stuff.
Now, maybe I'm missing something here and these people are really crappy folks. I'd be surprised to find that out, though. I'd be especially surprised to learn that shooting a dog while she ran away is okay.

St. Paul SWAT drug raid and across the pond
A SWAT team in St. Paul shot and killed three dogs during a drug raid. They knew the dogs were present. The fourth dog was confined and left unharmed.
A sad story out of England where two dogs were killed by police while defending their master's body. Their owner had died of natural causes. When paramedics arrived, the dogs were obviously agitated and felt threatened so they stood guard over their owner's body.. One dog was shot and killed instantly, the other ran away. When he was cornered, the dog was tasered and taken to a shelter. Shelter employees claim he was "too aggressive" and he was subsequently euthanized...even though the owner had a partner who would have taken the dog back.

Two dogs killed after narcotics raid revealed nothing
Buffalo narcotics officers shot and killed two family pets in a drug raid. One dog was a 5-yr-old boxer/pit bull mix who was shot three times for jumping off the couch. The other dog, a 4-yr-old pit bull, was shot from behind as he ran away from officers.
The raid was for hydrocdone pills, like vicodin and apparently was SO very important that officers just had to storm the house, kill the dogs and then scratch their heads in wonderment when, surprise!, no pills were found. This was a case where the owners could have been given ample opportunities to secure their dogs. Instead, some trigger-happy officer blew away two family pets.
Police officials claimed that "these dogs are trained to kill".
Oh, really?
Like this cattle dog in Maryland who was shot to death during a no-knock paramilitary raid on a home....for a person who hadn't lived there for three years? Or this Dalmatian in Florida who was shot during a drug search for barking at an officer while securely enclosed in her backyard? Or maybe these two Labs in Maryland were also trained to kill? Afterall, they were running away from officers during a paramilitary (SWAT) no-knock raid. Running away is now the new "trained to kill" behavior. Or maybe it's the four dogs shot and killed by police in Omaha all during drug raids; with one exception, none of the dogs attempted to eat anybody.
I just cannot imagine ALL of these dogs are trained to kill, especially when many of them are in homes where no drug activity occurs. As to the recent Buffalo case - is the possibility of finding vicadin pills really worth an automatic death sentence for two beloved pets? Not to mention the valid fear that the officer could have misfired and hit the owner of the dogs sitting five feet away. Or that the house was in a residential area and the guy was shooting with a large shotgun. The officer's response seemed excessive, at best, criminal at worst. Sadly, it's doubtful the officer will receive any proper training on how to interact with dogs and their owners or any fines or jail time for killing two family pets.

Dog shot and killed during drug raid
A dog was shot and killed after narcotics officers swarmed a Council Bluffs home for 56 g of meth and stolen electronics.
There isn't much to this story - was it a no-knock warrant or did the officers enter with permission/warrant?
If it was the latter, why wasn't the persons arrested immediately asked to restrain their dog? If it was the former, then I can only say that it would not have mattered if the dog attacked or ran away, he would have been shot and killed.
