I can understand the potential need to shoot before tazer, generally they probably have guns in hands and tazers would take time to reach for. That said, they had to have known there were dogs on the property before hand. Why wasnt animal control called to come and remove the dogs properly? Why werent tazers ready when they opened the doors as Im sure the dogs had to be barking up a storm once they did the obligatory knock before barreling in.
Id also have to agree that while Im not a cop, I have never heard of staging a raid on a building because someone was accused of sexual assault. Theres alot more to this than we're being told. Im trying to reserve anger till all the facts are out, but the news reporters twittering their mock concern for the crowd about all the "dangerous animals" made me want to rage all over that station.
There was something said about considerations for possible animal neglect and federal charges about animals being shipped across state lines? which is the reason Im assuming they excused themselves to remove all the animals, but Im willing to bet someone with a widely known reputation like Mr Cullen hasn't been moving exotics illegally.
