Dos Palos, CA – Dos Palos resident George Aguaristi filed a $1 million dollar suit in Merced County after authorities came onto his property without a warrant last month and the killed his 5-year-old pitbull, Samson. The entire ordeal was captured on surveillance cameras installed on the property. Authorities have yet to explain why they came onto the 61-year-old Dos Palos resident’s property despite signs being posted on the front gate noting “No Trespassing” and “Beware of Dog.” A report in Merced Sun-Star explained: He said he woke up May 30 with a neighbor knocking on his window who said officers had been in his fenced-in yard. The 61-year-old noted he has “Beware of Dog” and “No Trespassing” signs on the front gate. Aguaristi said he went outside to feed Samson and Delilah, another pit bull, but couldn’t find the male. After finding a business card wedge in the screen door, he called the number, which was for an investigator for the Merced County District Attorney’s Office. Efforts to reach the lead investigator by phone were unsuccessful on Thursday. It was an investigator who told the homeowner that an officer had killed his dog, Aguaristi said. He’d slept through it all. “I was just in shock. My mind just went,” Aguaristi said. “Eventually, I said, ‘Is there something you needed to ask me?’ And, (the officer) says, ‘No, that’s about it.’ “ After being informed that his dog had been killed, Aguaristi reviewed footage from the surveillance cameras on his property. The footage revealed that around 8:30 a.m. a male and female officer entered the property through the front gate where the signs were posted. The female officer can be seen walking towards the porch of the residence, at which point Samson comes down the stairs and takes a stance between the front door of the home and the officer. At this point the officer appears to use pepper spray — which only serves to agitate Samson — who begins to move toward the officer. The officer can then be seen pulling a firearm and shooting/killing the dog. While likely not aware they were being recorded, the two officers can then be seen taking Samson’s dead body and an investigator can be seen washing Samson’s blood off of the driveway with a garden hose. “They killed my dog and they stole it,” Aguaristi said. The fact that these officers took the dog and attempted to wash away the blood is indicative of an attempt at covering up the truth of the incident in that these officers came onto private property, which warned to “Beware of Dog” and “No Trespassing,” and proceeded to then kill an animal that was doing what it was supposed to be doing – and where it was supposed to be! Sadly, this is not an exception to the rule, as TFTP has reported time and time again on cases of police officers shooting dogs maliciously and without regard. In fact, just the other day we reported on the case of an officer shooting at a dog in a small room resulting in a 9-year-old child being shot in the face. Samson is now buried on the property, and a neighbor’s children, who played with the dog often, have made a cross for his headstone, Aguaristi said. Aguaristi said that he doesn’t hate law enforcement, but just wants “justice for Samson.” “He was a good boy,” he said. “He didn’t deserve that.” To add insult to injury, after killing his dog, whom Aguaristi referred to as his “best friend” and “son,” the officer can be seen urinating on Aguaristi’s fence.

Would you have liked them to leave the dead bleeding rotting dog on the driveway? Im not a cop but im sure there is some kinda training that tells them to have the dog removed and wash the blood away. This is not a human and a human life was in danger. Who knows why they were in the backyard. Could have been called about a suspicious person in the yard. Not going to get me to shed a tear over a pit. City pay for another dog from the pound. Non vicious dog that way they can feed it to the other pit. ;(
Obviously they had no reason to be there in the first place. Not going to get me to shed a tear over a pit. Tell that to the neighborhood kids who lost a friend: Samson is now buried on the property, and a neighbor’s children, who played with the dog often, have made a cross for his headstone
We do not know that. Not going to get me to shed a tear over a pit. Tell that to the neighborhood kids who lost a friend: Well there you have a good reason to put the dog down. Threating dog around kids. Anyone that allows their kid or other peoples kids around pit should be arrested for child endangerment.
Yeah. That's why they left a business card.
He what?
Yeah. That's why they left a business card. Oh right - the cop did piss on the guy's fence before he left. Why were they there in the first place? Did they have a warrant? Was the homeowner arrested for any crime, or even called to the door?
At least he didn't piss on the dog. "Why were they there in the first place? Did they have a warrant? Was the homeowner arrested for any crime, or even called to the door?" Should that be public information? Think about it.
He must re-best friend a new pit bull every 15 years or so. All agitate propaganda lol
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Is that right or not?
Well, so far no one has stated a factual legitimate reason for the cops being there, and no reason why they shot the mans dog. I guess someone will say " they were cops, and with the badge, they can go anywhere they want, any time they want. They are above the law ".

No one knows. Deckard articles are meant to enrage people and I have found most of them are bs. If you would like please get the truth and post it but it may just be a waste of time, again, to find out the his story does not match reality.
Well, I did a google search, and found an article from the local paper http://www.mercedsunstar.com/news/local/community/los-banos/article213532179.html Sounds about the same as the story posted in the OP. We still don't know why they were there. I think it odd that the card left was from the Merced County District Attorney's Office. You would think it would be from the PD. If they were there to serve a warrant, you would think there would be a subsequent arrest, or something. Maybe they were going to serve a warrant, and went to the wrong house, IDK. After killing the mans dog, when he called, they should have explained why they had been there. If the man really does sue, I guess more will come out then. Until then, I will assume they were there simply because they could. I did look at the video. The dog was wagging his tail, up until he was sprayed, and then shot. A vicious dog in attack mode does not wag its tail. I saw no justification for shooting the dog, and we still do not know why they were there. Justified, maybe you can dig up more info ??

Well, based on my research ( post # 12 ) his story did match reality, and is not BS ! It appears you owe Deckard an apology !

No one has yet to answer that question: why were the cops there in the first place. A dog wagging his tail is a pretty good sign that he's just being friendly.
I believe that as well ! Although some here will argue to the contrary !

A vicious dog in attack mode does not wag its tail. Scientific data will argue and document the contrary. Perhaos the most common misinterpretation of dogs is the myth that a Source:
Right on Que ! LOL You can believe your Phd. I will stick with my life time real world experience. BTW Gatlin, can you tell us why the cops were there ?

The cops stole the man's body? Now he is singing the skeleton song, Ain't Got Nobody.
I will stick with my life time real world experience. Of course you will … "A Closed Mind is a Wonderful Thing to Lose." Dogs use their tails to communicate strong emotions such as agitation, annoyance and anger as well as happiness.
Help! I feel like I’m a bad judge of doggy character. I love dogs and thought I had a good connection with them. Recently though, a friend’s dog bit me. I now feel a bit confused and less confident around other dogs. I still don’t understand what happened. He was wagging his tail right before biting me. Answer: Trust me. As a trainer, you are not the first person who has said, “But his tail was wagging when he bit me!” This is what trainers call the trick of the tail! Somewhere over the years, we silly humans came to believe that a tail wag is the sign of a happy dog.
The community has learned the hard lesson that police are psycho killer intruders whose badges & gang color blue, give them special privileges that place them above the law. It's up to the community as a whole to neutralize this threat by whatever means they can. Psyched up and ready to take out porch nick-nacks, garden gnomes, dogs, and anything else that frightens them.
"Front door". Front door meaning front yard meaning public access. Right there he will lose the case(in a sane world). Maybe by front door they mean backdoor??
Possibly the front door although many back doors have porches too, but it was not public access. There's a fence and signs posted, Ignorance of the law, or of the language is no excuse. Deport them!
You kill my pet,I kill you. End of story. And that dog was a pet that was doing what he was supposed to be doing,defending his master and property from invaders. If he had jumped the fence and gone after the cops or anyone else walking down the sidewalk,different story and justified shoot. The shoot was NOT justified because the cops were invading private property without just cause.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
The US Supreme Court ruled in Florida v. Jardines, 133 S.Ct. 1409 (2013) that the police have an absolute right to walk up to a front door of a person’s home since that right is subject to an implied license based on existing social norms. There is an implied license to approach a front door with the intent to knock and try to speak to the homeowner. The police can go up the front door when a homeowner puts up “no trespassing” signs or something similar. The signs do no revoke the implied license. In United States v. Denim, 2013 WL 4591469 (E.D.Tenn. August 28, 2013), the district court (adopting the magistrate judge’s R&R) held that “no trespassing signs” do not revoke the implied license and that officers can approach the front door and knock on the door despite the signs.
Howdy, Gatlin. Good to see you around!

It is also local law for Merced County. http://www.qcode.us/codes/mercedcounty/index.php?topic=7%20 Chapter 7.04 DOGS, CATS, AND OTHER DOMESTICATED ANIMALS 7.04.291 Right of entry for enforcement conditions. A. The director, any officer or employee thereof, or other duly designated representative of the county, and any law enforcement officer shall have the right to make an inspection to enforce the provisions of this chapter or other applicable law by entering property to enforce the provisions of this chapter or other applicable law; provided, that: 1. If such building and/or property is occupied, he shall first present proper credentials to the occupant and request entry, explaining his reasons therefor; and if such building and/or property is unoccupied, he shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the owner thereof or other persons having authority over the building and/or property and request entry, explaining his reasons therefor. 2. If such entry into the building or upon the property be refused, the director, any officer or employee thereof, or other duly designated representative of the county and any law enforcement officer may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure (Sections 1822.50 through 1822.57), for the entry and inspection of the building and/or the property. However, if the conditions of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1822.50 cannot be satisfied and criminal charges are implicated, animal control or the law enforcement officer may seek a search warrant of said building and/or the property. 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the director, any officer or employee thereof, or other duly designated representative of the county, and any law enforcement officer has reasonable cause to believe that the keeping or the maintaining of any animal is so hazardous, unsafe or dangerous as to require immediate inspection to safeguard the animal or the public health or safety, he shall have the right to immediately enter and inspect such building and/or property, and may use any reasonable means required to effect such entry and make such inspection, whether such building and/or property is occupied or unoccupied, and whether or not permission to inspect has been obtained. If the building and/or property is occupied, he shall first present proper credentials to the occupant and request entry, explaining his reasons therefor. B. This section shall not prohibit the director, any officer or employee thereof, and any law enforcement officer from entering upon any public or private property in the unincorporated territory of the county of Merced for the purpose of capturing an animal running at large in violation of this chapter or other applicable law. Any person who denies or prevents, obstructs, or attempts to deny, prevent or obstruct said capture is guilty of a misdemeanor. (Ord. 1675 § 2, 2002).
There were no animal code enforcement issues, so what you've quoted is irrelevant LEO boot licking. No value added. You've done nothing to clear up the mystery why these psycho cops trespassed on the property.
“Ignorance of law excuses no one” (ignorantia legis neminem excusat ) or if you prefer “ignorance of the law excuses not” (Ignorantia juris non excusat). This legal principle does emphatically hold that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because one was unaware of its content. You hondo, are however foolishly displaying your cluelessness when attempting to apply this legal principle here and your statement shows complete incomprehension and total unawareness of any familiarity with the law as it applies in this situation. It matters not to the police if there’s a fence and signs posted….they had the absolute lawful right to approach the front door of the residence.
They still need to have a reason to knock on the door - they didn't. And there is no indication that they even attempted to knock on the door, even after killing the dog. Oh sure, they left a business card and pissed on the guy's fence. Yep - real "heroes".
No such credentials were presented, no entry was requested - for Pete's sake - the cop never even knocked at the door. What reason did he have for being there? B. This section shall not prohibit the director, any officer or employee thereof, and any law enforcement officer from entering upon any public or private property in the unincorporated territory of the county of Merced for the purpose of capturing an animal running at large The dog was inside the owner's yard - not running wild in the streets. None of what you posted applies in this situation.
I have seen people with fence in the front too. For some reason there really isn't any information on this subject other than this one article. Which makes it very hard to make a proper decision. IMHO
See post 22.
Correct. So can the mailman, the UPS guy, the Fedex guy, the pizza guy, or any other visitor. Which means that you can't let a pit bull roam free in that public access area.
None of your fucking business. Maybe they were investigating a child porn ring. Do you think it should be public knowledge that the police were there for that reason when the guy may be totally innocent? Just to satisfy your fucking curiosity?
Sure they did. They just didn't tell you. "And there is no indication that they even attempted to knock on the door, even after killing the dog." Well, they didn't attempt to knock because the was a loose pit bull in the way. And they figured that if the commotion and the gunfire didn't bring anyone to the door, knocking would have no effect.
The article clearly and emphatically stated: “Authorities have yet to explain why they came onto the 61-year-old Dos Palos resident’s property.” Just because the authorities have not “yet” provided a reason in absolutely no way means they had NO reason to knock on his door. Please provide a source validating your “malicious claim” that “they didn’t have reason to knock on the door?’
I have seen post 22. It means nothing. The cops could have backed off and called the owner on the phone and told him to secure his dog. It's not like there was a kidnapped child in there being tortured. There was no emergency. The ONLY reason those cops killed that dog was because they were cops,and they knew they could get away with it. I repeat,you kill my dog and my dog isn't attacking you or is attacking you with good reason,I will kill you and I don't give a damn how many badges you may be carrying. This kind of insane and out of control crap by the police needs to STOP. They are NOT our masters. They are our EMPLOYEES.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
No,the REAL message here is you can't allow cops to roam free outside of their own yards. That pit bull was in the yard where HE lived,doing what he was SUPPOSED to be doing.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Correct. So can the mailman, the UPS guy, the Fedex guy, the pizza guy, or any other visitor. WRONG. I used to be a letter carrier,and we were told to NOT go into fenced yard with "No Trespassing" signs. We were to put a notice in the mail box at the fence if we had something that wouldn't fit into the mailbox. I have never worked for UPS or any of the other delivery services,but I would be shocked if they weren't told the same thing. Like it or not,cops are NOT our Masters. They are nothing but public employees and have no special rights or powers that common citizens don't have.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

dog wagging its tail is happy and friendly. While some wags are indeed
associated with happiness, others can mean fear, insecurity, a social
challenge or even a warning that if you approach, you are apt to
be bitten.
