“A shocking new lawsuit claims that Detroit police officers serving a search warrant needlessly killed three dogs inside the home before they allegedly threatened the owner,” dailymail.co.uk reports. “Homeowner Nikita Smith was horrified to find a bloody scene after officers allegedly shot one of her three dogs through a bathroom door.” “They went around and killed them. Like a death squad,” Smith’s lawyer Chris Olson told the New York Daily News. The cops had a warrant to search her home and found marijuana on the premises. So there is that. Cash-strapped Detroit recently paid an owner $100k after they shot his canine companion. [h/t TP]
