It is getting scary out there.  The militarization of police all over misdemeanor drug charges.   It is getting so frequent that I think we are spinning out of control where the them and us mentality is simply getting goofy.   A misdemeanor warrant, and you cannot back off the porch and get your pepper spray ready if she does not secure the dog in a bedroom or bathroom.   I do not know the facts, but all I am seeing on the internet is people breaking into folks homes on minor drug charges and shooting their dogs.

Yep......a non violent crime of drug equipment possession and a general reference to drug traffic warrant......Cassie and her dog paddlefoot are part of an international drug cartel which has invaded Navarre.   How about a simple we will back off the porch and you can secure your dog instruction, and if I was the police I would say she released the dog.....but perhaps the dog got by her at the door........my point is these incidents are happening all over the internet.  It is not just T.  Today an author released his book on the militarization of police in America.  He shows how military equipment is filtering into every community in America and that SWAT teams with military vigor are not going out on routine warrants.

I just heard this author on tv this morning and it is getting downright scary.  I have seen three videos this week of police breaking into folks homes on misdemeanor charges and shooting dogs.   It is completely out of control.

2seaoat wrote:No I understood they had an arrest warrant.   If they were dealing with a violent criminal, I could understand these type of responses.  I mean I watched this author on TV talking about police departments using swat teams to serve warrants.  It used to be such a mundane duty to serve warrants, especially when you are dealing with non violent crime.

I just saw the preview for a movie which is releasing this week where a person gets taken off the Oakland subway, is handcuffed and laid flat on his stomach and shot by an officer in the back.  We have lost our minds.   I watched three dogs get shot on UTUBE the last week, and it was simply going from one subject and going to the next when I am bombarded by these dog shootings.    I do not like a pit bull but a full canister of pepper spray on a dog is going to stop that dog in their tracks.   why is it necessary to be killing animals who are protecting homes and families?   We really have a problem.

what will they label you when they shoot your dog before America begins asking questions on the militarization of police.  I want to see a 25% decrease in the criminal justice system over the next 20 years.  I want folks to focus on violent crime.   Drug traffic........you can bet they are personally using drugs, and that like Bill Mahr said last week.....I could be considered a drug traffic person because I did sell some pot when I was in college......it is out of control.

Not so quick.   They have specials on meow foo chung, and local cops eat for free.

Vicious roid apes bent on finding a reason to hurt maim and kill to show the rest of the mundanes that they better show respect and lick some boots after all their masters are rich.

Seven people have been arrested in connection with a drug trafficking ring, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.

The Okaloosa County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force concluded an investigation with the Drug Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force on Wednesday, the Sheriff's Office announced Thursday. Five more arrests are pending.

A tip reported to Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers in January implicated a head nurse at a doctor's office in Fort Walton Beach with trafficking prescription drugs, according to a news release.

Investigators found that 39-year-old Wendy Cagle of Destin called in multiple unauthorized prescriptions to pharmacies for hydrocodone and Xanax for people she knew and who were not under medical care, the Sheriff's Office reported.

In some cases, the drugs were used to pay co-conspirators.

Cagle was charged with trafficking more than 28 grams of hydrocodone.

Mariah Kathleen Call, 27, of Navarre, was charged with conspiring to obtain, purchase, transfer, sell and/or distribute a trafficking amount of hydrocodone and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.

Megan Lynette Brewer, 29, of Gulf Breeze; Meagan Renee Cheramie, 26, of Navarre; and Natasha Ann Ratliff, 23, of Fort Walton Beach were charged with trafficking more than 14 grams of hydrocodone.

When officers tried to serve two arrest warrants at a home on Toledo Street in Navarre, deputies were forced to shoot a pit bull that was released by a suspect, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office.

Cassie Marie Dyson, 21, answered the door while restraining the 70- to 85-pound pit bull.

"Suddenly and deliberately, Dyson released the animal," the Sheriff's Office reported.

Officers shot the dog as it lunged toward them.

Dyson was charged with trafficking more than 14 grams of hydrocodone, three counts of felony assault on an officer and one count of misdemeanor drug possession.

The home's other resident, 21-year-old Daniel Ronnie Adams Jr. of Navarre, was charged with conspiring to obtain, purchase, transfer, sell and/or distribute a trafficking amount of hydrocodone.

I think you misread the article. The female was arrested for 3 felony drug charges. She was told to secure the aggressive dog.  Instead she released the dog on the officers. Was she so stupid or drugged up to think the officers would run away and forget who she was and where she lived.
