Story out of Detroit, Michigan:
Three months after Detroit paid $100,000 to settle a lawsuit filed because Detroit Police Officer Daryl Dawson fatally shot a chained-up dog named Babycakes, the Department is being sued for another dog massacre.
Nikita Smith and Kevin Thomas of Detroit say police raided their home during the service of a narcotics warrant and unnecessarily killed their three dogs, Debo, Mama and Smoke.
Photos submitted with the complaint show the bathroom, where one of the dogs was locked inside, drenched in blood.
The lawsuit says Smith, who was the only one home, heard police knock and told them, "Let me put my dogs down in the basement."
Police wrote in their report there was no response.
She "sequestered" Debo and Mama in the basement and "blocked the entryway," the lawsuit says. Smoke was locked in a bathroom.
When police entered, Debo got through "obstruction" keeping the dogs in the basement.
As Smith "reached down to her dog ... officers shot Debo multiple times" not far from Smith, the lawsuit claims.
The officers then "stormed down into the basement where the officers shot to death plaintiff's dog Mama, a pregnant female dog," the lawsuit says. "Mama was not barking or attacking" and "died in a pool of blood in the corner of the basement."
"Should we shoot that one too?" an officer allegedly said after cracking the bathroom door to verify the third dog was inside. Cont.
