Roommates who sued a Maryland county Monday claim police officers illegally entered their apartment without a warrant, detained them at gunpoint without justification and unnecessarily shot their pet dog, which was left paralyzed and ultimately euthanized.
The dog, a boxer mix named Hennessey, did not attack the three officers who entered the apartment before two of them shot the animal with their firearms and the third fired a stun gun at it, according to the federal lawsuit.
The lawsuit seeks at least $16 million in damages over the June 2, 2021 encounter, which started with Prince George’s County police officers responding to a report of a dog bite at an apartment complex where the four plaintiffs lived. What happened next was captured on police body camera video and video from a plaintiff’s cellphone.
I’ll just say this. If you name your pet after liquor, I’m automatically assuming you’re trashy. Police were there to investigate a dog biting incident, and I somehow doubt these 4 are faultless.
based entirely on that trashy ass pet name.

maybe you’re an idiot, I’d encourage you to be much better
Lol great comeback
You made up fiction to justify your own bootlicking tendencies, and they called you out on it. No one here thinks the person you’re responding to is an idiot.
We are convinced you’re a fucking moron though.
lmao bootlicker? holy shit your legitimately mentally unwell reading into so much. go touch some grass
You made stuff up to justify police illegally detaining people and killing a dog; and I’m mentally unwell lmao. Bootlicker projection at its finest
I see you’ve never lived near trashy people before. People with pittbull mixes love to tout that it’s the owner that makes them violent, and they’re not inherently dangerous.
oddly enough, that’s the exact same line of thinking people advocating against gun control use. “It’s not the gun it’s the person wielding it.”
Well a yorkshire terrier left off the leash isn’t going to do much, but a pitt mix? there’s a reason pittbulls and pitt mixes are responsible for 65% of dog attack deaths.
So when I hear about a dog bite attack, that had been traced back to a pitt mix named after a godamn liquor (nobody names their dog after a bridge, people who lapped that comment up are morons), excuse me if I presume that these trashy ass people are terrible dog owners, let their dog bite someone, and now they’re trying to play it off like they’re just innocent babes lost in the wood… nah. I don’t buy it. I for one, doubt these four are faultless in all this.
which is exactly what I said in the beginning.
Man you’re completely fucked in the head. Enjoy being a bootlicking dipshit I guess.
oh wow, can’t form a logical retort, better get out the ol’ ad hominem! what a spectacular failure of a person you are. I pity your family
Deciding they deserve what they got because you think they’re trashy is what makes a person trashy, not naming a pet after booze. JFC what an unhinged take.
You should feel bad for having this perspective. Reflect on that and try to be better in the future!
Yeah if you can just take your opinion and shove it up your arse. That’d be great.
I realize I’m inviting down votes as well, but, ignoring the dog’s name, did he actually bite someone? If so, I can understand why the police were there and that is different from officers randomly barging into an apartment and shooting whatever dog happens to be around (which is a great story to stir people up and get clicks). Though it is still odd how it was handled, I would expect an animal control officer to be first to make contact with the dog’s owners. Not to go straight to shooting the dog?

Agreed.
Are the police the correct organization to handle a potential dog bite?
Do you want to pay more money to make another organization who can or even more money to fire, reorganize, and train an entire county first response system?
Can I have both?
Yes, alas, nobody ever wants to pay for it lol.
At least where I live, animal control falls under the police department. Could be different elsewhere.
And also a thing that happens all the time.
So you didn’t read the article, then.
No I can’t seem to get it to open, which is a problem on my end.
You’re right, we should strip away the rights of anyone with a dog name you don’t like. That feels like a normal and sane thing to do.
