Infowars – by Adan SalazarA family is upset the death of their long time companion at the hands of officers from the Round Rock, Texas, police department has been ruled justified.
Last Friday, Russell and Hope Lane didn’t close the door to their house properly, triggering their burglar alarm and a police response.
The Round Rock police chief and a commander entered the Lane’s home around 9am with weapons drawn and encountered their dog Bullet. That’s where the Lanes claim police have changed their story.
“When we first talked with captain Stuart he told us that his officer’s said Bullet stood up on the futon and lunged at them,” one of the dog’s owners wrote on a Facebook page dedicated to seeking Justice for Bullet. “Now since they’ve had time to get their story together it changed. Now bullet barked, growled, showed teeth three feet behind the officer. How did he get from the futon to three feet behind the officers?”
The Lanes say officers also failed to heed a sign hanging in their front door that read, “Rottweiler on duty,” along with a picture of a rottweiler.
On Wednesday, Round Rock Police concluded the shooting was justified. The Lanes say otherwise, and feel the amount of force used to stop Bullet was overkill.
“They’re not going to tell me that the officer fired seven shots at a dog because he had to,” Russell Lane told Fox 7. “They aren’t going to tell me he had to fire seven shots because you can hit a full grown man one time with a 40 caliber weapon, which that was what he was firing, and take him down.”
The Lanes are now prepared to take their fight to federal court, alleging violations of their Fourth Amendment.
“We are prepared to go to federal court 4th amendment violation. First they shouldn’t have ever entered the house with that sign in the window,” Russell told Fox 7.
Round Rock police also issued a statement declaring that prior to the “unfortunate event,” they were already looking at “additional training, purchasing equipment and reviewing current policies in dealing with aggressive animals. We have reviewed and selected a nationally recognized training program in dealing with aggressive animals. The training is currently taking place for all commissioned police officers.”
Two years ago, police in Austin, Round Rock’s neighbor to the south, also found it necessary to implement an additional training program so officers could better determine when it was appropriate to shoot animals. Austin police have shot about three dogs since that new training went into effect.

Isn’t it funny how cops alway rule such shootings justified? Ugh….
I commented on a similar article on this yesterday.

I had once lived about 4 blocks away from the victim’s address and have had my fair share of run-ins with the Round Rock mafia. The Round Rock police department needs to be burnt to the ground and all it’s police officers need to be hung for treason. That’s just my opinion. They are known as the Gestapo of Texas.
😉 They’d consider themselves “threatened” and “justified” shooting a chihuahua.
They have and do:

I’m not the least bit surprised. They changed their story with me, too after they threw me to the ground and bruised the shit out of me by saying that the marks were already there before they threw me on the ground.
It will be a happy day for me when I see the entire Round Rock mafia burn in Hell. They deserve nothing less. They aren’t human. They have no feelings or remorse. You cannot rationalize with them, as only they can ask the questions and not you. If you attempt to ask them questions or talk to them, they will put you in their squad car like a child like they did with me until you are ready to play “yes god/no god” power trip game with them. They want you to answer and act like a robot with them. They thrive on violence and humiliating people and look for any excuse to beat the shit out of someone for no reason whatsoever and then claim it was justified. Every time they stop someone for a traffic violation, they will ALWAYS call another car for back-up no matter what because they need to abuse their authority and try to assert fear into the victim and treating you like a criminal. I have never seen someone being pulled over where they didn’t have two or three squad cars behind the victim. It must be their mafia protocol. Finally, if you write them up, they threaten you and harass you like they did with me and then the Internal Affairs goes ahead and exonerates them.
F**K them! May they burn in Hell! 😡
What I want to know; is there anything they cannot justify? All of these stories of police abuse, shooting and killing innocent people and pets, beating the living crap out of innocent people, handicapped people, women, children and every single time, it is the same old canard: The police officer(s) did NOTHING WRONG, THEY FOLLOWED DEPARTMENT POLICY, DO NOT QUESTION OUR AUTHORITY!!!
Burn in hell PIGS!!!
Any cops killed will also be ruled justified.
By us.
