Help Java and family heal and fight for justice

On April 9th, My kids were outside playing like they always do with their dad by the garage when my daughter started having a tantrum because she wanted mommy while I was at the store. My boyfriend took the kids inside while our close friend was closing up the garage and the cops pulled up through our alley way, questioning him and claiming they were called to do a welfare check on a woman screaming for “help” .. he told them wait there and he was going to go grab the owner because he doesn’t live here.. well the cops without any consent followed him through our backyard and to the back porch and when my boyfriend stepped outside to see what was going on our Dog Java came out behind him and went to sniff at the cops feet the cop asked if she was aggressive Java laid there and she let out a growl the cop pulled out the gun and clocked it SHE DIDNT ATTACK or go to bite this officer that she has never seen before, before my boyfriend even had time to respond even grab her or say anything the cops SHOT HER IN HER NECK for “fear of his life” or “protection” while MY KIDS WERE 5 ft away watching through the door way.. THIS IS NOT OKAY! We asked to see footage of the body cams they claim they have and we were denied. We rushed her to the vet and she had to get emergency surgery to remove the bullet and stitch up
the artery in her ear that was knicked as well. Java made it out of surgery successfully. They said if the bullet hit just a little more vertical she wouldn’t be here right now. She still has fluid in her chest from the blood, she’s being put on a diuretic and strong antibiotics/pain meds. They kept her overnight and we were able to get her home with us April 10th around 1pm. This is something tragic and traumatizing we never imagined or expected would happen to us. We are seeking help financial for whatever medical expenses, vet bill and legal fees we will need to take legal action against the Farrell police department. Anything helps, even a prayer. Thank you all so much.
update; Java has passed away. She had to be put down due to the fluid buildup in her heart. We are devastated.
