Cop Walks In Family's Home, Shoots Their Dog (then lies about it)

A cop walks up to the front door of a family’s home. Nobody answers the door, so he just lets himself in and begins to look around. About a minute later, shots ring out from inside the house. He just shot the family dog. The husband was at work. The wife was out of town. The 4 kids were at school. It was just Zelda, the family’s beloved Belgian Malinois, being a good girl, doing her job protecting their home from intruders. Then the cop walks back outside.

Does he call the family to tell them what happened? No. He calls more cops and basically an army of police officers arrive at this home in this quiet neighborhood, and they begin to circle the wagons. They then proceed to go all through the family’s home, garage and backyard, for a period of about 40 minutes - all without even notifying this family, or obtaining their permission to do so. Oh, and also - without a warrant. Surely they made this right with the family? Apologized? Compensated them in some way? Surely they fired the officer and prosecuted him for unlawfully entering the family’s home and killing their dog?

This evil bastard is no longer with the Wake County Sheriff's Office (North Carolina).
I hope they file a lawsuit against that rotten sheriff's office and/or Wake County.

Thanks for posting.
