I don't recall this one, from an incident damn near one year ago today in Chicago.
According to the lawsuit filings, a man and women were at home, with the man sister's 78 year old stepfather.
During the course of the evening, the women gets drunk, gets into a fight with the boyfriend, who refuses to return her keys, because, of course, she's drunk.
Idiot girlfriend then calls cops and tells them that the boyfriend is refusing to let her leave the house, and that he has guns in the house (locked up and unloaded. Keeping in mind, both the man and woman have stated that no physical force or threat was used, he just wouldn't give her keys back).
Cops show up, barking orders and there are some minutes of confusion as keys for security gates are found and the gates opened.
Cops storm into house with tasers drawn, handcuff man and tell him to "shut up", with various foul modifiers.
Meantime, the man's dog comes out from another room, and sits besides the handcuffed man.
At no time does the dog threaten or charge at anybody.
Cop pulls out sidearm, puts it to the dog's head, while the owner is begging to be allowed to put the dog in another room, and blows a hole in the dog's neck.
At this point the man is dragged to his feet, thrown down the front stairs, where he fractures a tibia.
The dog, meanwhile, is still alive, tries to get down the steps, and is shot two more times, once in the chest and once in the leg, which I'm assuming, kills the dog.
Cops kick in the front security gates, after hearing gunshots, throw injured man into the squad car and book him, after confiscating the guns in the house that belonged to the stepfather mentioned earlier.
Months later, the man is acquitted of all charges.
I imagine the guns are gone forever.
Oh, and the drunken girlfriend?
The cops let her drive home.
