From over at Reason comes this story by Radley Balko (who seems to be finding more and more of these types of stories….):
SWAT Team Endangers Child, Parents Charged With Child Endangerment
SWAT team breaks into home, fires seven rounds at family’s pit bull and corgi (?!) as a seven-year-old looks on.
They found a "small amount" of marijuana, enough for a misdemeanor charge. The parents were then charged with child endangerment.
So smoking pot = "child endangerment." Storming a home with guns, then firing bullets into the family pets as a child looks on = necessary police procedures to ensure everyone’s safety.
Just so we’re clear.
The quip from Instapundit (a Law Professor) sums it up: "Remember, the State is always right"
