Some police just don't know or care where that line of lawlessness is

Kansas City Police Allegedly Threatened to Shoot Homeowner's Dogs if He Refused to Let them Search his House Without a Warrant | The Volokh ConspiracyThe Volokh Conspiracy

I read that story yesterday. Not the brightest thing to threaten a lawyer in my opinion. Does he have tape to prove it though? It would be his word against several others.

I see in the comments some people are saying the cop is just describing how a normal search goes. So, a normal search is to break down the door, shoot the dog and ransack the house? That sounds like it could be a threat too no matter how they try to spin it. I sure hope he has it recorded and broadcasts it everywhere.

Should have never opened the door.

Hopefully the homeowner arms himself and puts down whatever illegal invaders attempt to break into his home.

If they bust in and kill your pets that were secure and not able to harm officers, that is destruction of life and property. An offense that in some places allows deadly force. That'd be an interesting case.
