Wow, seriously messed up. Young guy, 22, watching his brother's dogs, playing with them in his back yard with a tennis ball. Then the kid gets attacked.

His death has been labeled as an accident by the medical examiner's office. The dogs are now under quarantine at Pups Under Police Security (PUPS), an animal holding facility. Police say the pit bulls must go through a "dangerous dog evaluation" to determine what will happen to them, according to a report by Minneapolis StarTribune.

The cause of the dogs' attack against Thomas Trawick is under investigation, according to Brooklyn Center Police Commander Tony Gruenig.

"There is about a 10- to 14-day process to declare the dogs dangerous," Gruenig said. "We have to serve paperwork, have a hearing, if it's declared dangerous then there is an appeal process."

Gruenig also stated that "the owners could also turn the dogs over to the city, and the hearing would be waived."

I get that there are rules, and for a good reason. You don't want a dog that's not dangerous being put down. At the same time, this reminds me of the joke that Ron White told about Texas putting in an "express lane" for capital punishment.
