Lawsuit: St. Louis County sent SWAT team, killed a dog over 'POSSIBLE' CODE VIOLATIONS!
On Tuesday, a South County woman filed a federal lawsuit that dog lovers should read with caution — the allegations are pretty disturbing.

In the lawsuit, Angela Zorich claims that St. Louis County Police tactical officers — aka the department’s SWAT team — raided her house in April 2014 and killed Kiya, her four-year-old pit bull.

The reason for the raid: to check if her home had electricity and natural gas service . . .

. . . here’s a run-down of Zorich’s story, as told in the lawsuit:

On April 25, 2014, St. Louis County Police officers came to her house. Her son cussed at them. They inspected the home’s exterior and placed a “Problem Properties” sticker on the front window.

On April 28, Zorich called the police to follow up on the matter. An officer told her they were investigating the home for failing to have natural gas or electric service, as required by county ordinance. She admitted that the gas had been shut off, but said the claim about electricity was “[bulls—].” The officer hung up on her . . .

. . .

The next day, around 12:41 p.m., Zorich was at home with several family members and her pit bull, Kiya, when a St. Louis County Police Tactical Response Unit burst through the door without knocking, according to her suit. The unit had at least five officers with M-4 rifles, supported by at least eight uniformed officers.

The officers entered so quickly, Zorich’s suit alleges, that Kiya didn’t even have time to bark. A tactical officer fired three shots into the dog, and the dog’s “bladder and bowels released and she fell to the floor.” The dog “was laying on the floor in her own waste and blood struggling to breathe. She had a gaping hole in her chest.”

Zorich claims the officers kept trying to talk to her about the natural gas, but she was focused on her dog, whom she’d raised as a puppy and who (she says) had “never shown agression to any person.”

At one point in the raid, Zorich alleges, an officer pointed his firearm at her son’s head and said “One word, [motherf—–,] and I’ll put three in you.”

Zorich was taken into custody and later given a notice of violation from the Housing Inspector. It listed citations concerning her siding, guard rail, screens, window glass and deck.

When she returned home, she found beds overturned and items that had been on her shelves thrown to the floor.

 Quoting: Hater Supreme


It's a health and welfare check.

If they didn't do that, some people without utilities would be burning down there houses by using candles, or letting human waste pile up inside the house, burning down the whole neighborhood, etc.

And don't forget St. Louis County is where Ferguson is. With those ANIMALS it's not like you can just walk up and knock on the door and talk to them.

Without natural gas to heat and cook with they would have used candles, propane grills, etc to heat and cook with.

They ARE NOT banned in UK, trust me. They have special teams of very heavily armed police. In some of their housing projects (they call them estates) they patrol HEAVILY ARMED even by US standards.

Don't know about Australia, but I seriously doubt it.
