there you are minding your own business at home when next thing you know you're faced with cops with guns who kill your dogs and leave you unsure if you're next;
Tinton Falls, NJ — Roberton Fullerton and his daughter Bobbi Rene
Fullerton had committed no crime, had harmed no one, and were in their
own home when police officers came to the door, ordered them to their
knees at gunpoint and shot their two dogs. While apologists continue to
claim “if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about,” this
case — like so many others before it — proves them entirely wrong. Now
the taxpayers of Tinton Falls will be held liable for the officers’
actions in the form of a lawsuit.
The Fullertons are now suing the Borough of Tinton Falls, Police
Officer Adrian Reyes, several officers referred to only as “John Does,”
and Police Chief John Scrivanic in federal court for an amount “yet to
be determined.” for the disturbing abuse doled out by the officers. On
Tuesday, the lawsuit was scheduled for pretrial.
“They were victims of excessive force. They were held at gunpoint by
this officer (Reyes). They were scared out of their minds. The whole
thing was very traumatic,” the Fullerton’s attorney Thomas J. Mallon
told the Asbury Park Press.
According to the lawsuit, the incident unfolded on Oct. 8, 2017.
Robert and Bobbi were having a verbal argument at their home that night
when someone overheard them and called 911. Police were then dispatched
to the residence.
There was no physical assault, and before any officers arrived,
Robert Fullerton received a phone call from “longtime friend,” Tinton
Falls Police Officer Lt. Kyle Pearson, the lawsuit states. Pearson
confirmed everything was okay and that Robert had simply been arguing
with his daughter. Officer Pearson, according to the lawsuit, then
attempted to notify the responding officers that “no assault had
occurred.” However, he was too late.
As the Asbury Park Press reports, notwithstanding,
the police went to Fullerton’s home and knocked on the door. Robert
Fullerton opened the door and stepped outside. Sadie, one of the
plaintiffs’ German shepherds, brushed passed Fullerton, walked onto the
driveway “and was immediately shot three times,” by Reyes, or one of the
John Doe officers, the lawsuit said.
Reyes then “ordered Fullerton at gunpoint, with the gun pointed at his face, to get on the ground,” according to the lawsuit..........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/innocent-father-and-daughter-held-at-gunpoint-on-knees-as-cops-shot-their-dogs-lawsuit/252608
