Steven Seagal - chicken chaser

Back in March, we got this awesome headline:



Daily Mail: The cockfighting raid on a small farm that required a SWAT team, bomb robot, armoured vehicles, film crew... and Steven Seagal

This Arizona sheriff was only investigating a cockfighting ring on a small farm.



But Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was joined on a search warrant by a SWAT team, a bomb robot, two armoured vehicles, an action movie star and a film crew.



Jesus Llovera, 42, was arrested for cockfighting after the operation involving Steven Seagal, 58, who drove a tank onto the property as he shot a reality television show.

Shit, even Orwell didn't see this one coming. Combining the militarization of the police with reality TV is a marriage made in hell, and very appropriately officiated by the infamous Sheriff Joe.



Now Seagal is facing legal action over the raid, because they're also taking part in the War on Dogs.



TMZ: Legal Threats Over Deadly COCKFIGHT RAID

Jesus claims his 11-month old puppy was shot and killed during the raid -- and his home sustained "substantial damage." He also claims the cops killed more than 100 roosters that belonged to him.



The notice of claim is the first step towards a lawsuit -- and Jesus' lawyer tells us his client is demanding $100,000 for the damage and he wants Seagal to issue a "formal written apology" to his children "for the death of their 11-month old puppy, a beloved family pet."

As the Onion's AV Club explained:

Shortly after the incident, Seagal explained that the raid on suspect Jesus Llovera—which involved a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department team in full riot gear swarming his family’s home, as Steven Seagal crashed through his gates in a tank—all came about because, as Seagal said to a local TV station, “Animal cruelty is one of my pet peeves.” So in order to prevent said animal cruelty, Seagal and his team apparently “euthanized” the more than 100 roosters it found on Llovera’s property and, according to a just-filed claim from Llovera, also shot and killed his 11-month-old puppy.

Seagal's really taken the ideology of the American police state to heart. It became necessary to shoot the animals to save them.

Here’s hoping that Steven Seagal, puppy-killer, never meets Steven Seagal, guy from Out For Justice, because that dude would be pissed.

Only in SWAT nation.
