Chief Schirmers admits publicly that dangerous dog policy "the practice we had in place was not LAWFUL !!!!"

Excuse me but this is just an outrage.   Why in the heck can't the city council, city attorney, city police department, city administrator and or staff ever get ANYTHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME? In the last four years, I wonder how many dozens of laws or policies they have either rewritten because of being unconstitutional or illegal, amended, or deleted?    Folks this should concern you.  It is an embarrassment that this area can't seem to perform correctly/legally in any area of governance.   I wonder how long it will be until the MCRecord editorial board writes about this incompetence?  3-16-15 Little Falls City Council meeting.  
What is also interesting is that Brice Hermsons dog was shot and killed, by one of the 17 officers involved in the marijuana raid on his home, within the last week.  And then along comes Schirmers, requesting a change in the law.   Hmmmmmm.    

If you don't smell something fishy, your head is in the sand. 

Listen closely to what the city attorney Toni Wetzels answers are to the questions asked by councilmember Brad Hircock.
Was it laziness that prompted city administrator Dan Vogt to use the Brainerd model to determine that a $500.00 fine for harboring a dangerous dog was appropriate for poverty stricken Little Falls?   Really.  Dan should have been questioned by Brad Hircock on this, but why didn't he object to that extreme dollar amount.  This is crazy.  Do you think it is the upper income folks that have what would be considered "dangerous dogs...code word for pittbull"  around here?  Why not base the fine on some town that is economically equal.  Like one of the towns further to the north of us who are in the top 5 most poverty stricken counties?  This is just anther attempt to target the poor and minorities, and another attempt to drive them out.   Pathetic.

Just in case you didn't figure this out....what this means is that if your dog was taken away, or you got a ticket for having a dangerous dog, YOUR DUE PROCESS WAS LIKELY VIOLATED AND YOU WOULD HAVE LIKELY HAVE A GOOD LEGAL CASE AGAINST THE CITY OF LITTLE FALLS, MINNESOTA.   





IT IS ILLEGAL TO VIOLATE SOMEONES DUE PROCESS.
