Back in 02 I had a all white British Staffordshire named mike ( after Jackson R.I.P ). At the time I was involved in some knucklehead moves and probably did deserve to have my door kicked down and home searched ( although the 4 times they did proved fruitless ). Anyhow it was around 6 p.m when they kicked my door in. Mike who was 3 at the time ran out of my front door as the police team came in. He ran right by all the cops entering that door and ran up the street scared shitless. The poor dog made it to the corner of the street and got shot by a cop in his cruiser waiting at the corner for anyone who might've ran from the house.
This dog was amazing. He listened so well. He didn't have a mean bone in his body, most lovable, loyal and just a great dog. My neighbors loved him intact he was sort of a neighborhood dog as on many occasions he would be invited over to my neighbors yard to run around with there kids who loved the dog, and everyone knew him from the corner store owner ( free biscuits ) to the guy who owned the laundromat where we spend Friday mornings doing laundry
. Even members of the vice and gang units in my city knew the dog by name as he was always by my side. I miss em lots. Getting teary eyed thinking about him. I heard the 4 shots and knew exactly what happened.
Worst of all and its sort of a good thing just senseless is that there were no charges brought against me or my roommate and a judge even warned the police that 4 raids on one suspect without any contraband " was encroaching on harassment ". Encroaching really W.T.F... 1 dead dog, 6 new doors, 4 nights of threats and cheap shots, well over 10 court appearances, and the ugly looks from people who love to see a brother in cuffs... all for what ???? Not a damn thing, not a gram, not a oz, not even a drop of residue or anything. Grrr. Thanks for hearing me vent RIU.
Ohh through all that I'm still a true hippy stoner cause I don't hate the popo. I have quite a few close friends who are troopers and city cops. Its neutral that some, a true minority just have no respect for the community or anyone at all. They have a tough job to do I get that and I currently work with mentally challenged individuals who become violent at times so I know how they feel at times but they should have the insight to make good and right decisions.
