Spencer Pearson and Holly Henry speak out during the City Council meeting on Monday against the February SWAT team raid by Columbia police. The SWAT team entered Jonathan Whitworth's house with a warrant and killed his pitbull and injured another dog in the house. Whitworth pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for drug paraphernalia and was fined for $300. "No one is going to take this seriously unless we stand up," Henry said.
