Jack Booted Thugs Storm Into Local Policitican’s Home, Shoot Dogs, No Arrests Made

Why are these goons not in prison?

A police SWAT team raided the home of the mayor in the Prince George’s County town of Berwyn Heights on Tuesday, shooting and killing his two dogs, after he brought in a 32-pound package of marijuana that had been delivered to his doorstep, police said.

Actually the police delivered it to his doorstop. 

Calvo described a chaotic scene, in which he—wearing only underwear and socks—and his mother-in-law were handcuffed and interrogated for hours. They were surrounded by the dogs’ carcasses and pools of the dogs’ blood, Calvo said.

Spokesmen for the Sheriff’s Office and Prince George’s police expressed regret yesterday that the mayor’s dogs were killed. But they defended the way the raid was carried out, saying it was proper for a case involving such a large amount of drugs.

Where I read about this story I read that the police had not received a no knock warrant nor notified the local police as they are supposed to.  The authorities have arrested an employee of the package delivery company who apparently was part a ring that shipped drugs via the package company diverting shipments before they could be diverted. 

So why are the cops who illegally broke into an house and shot the family’s dogs not in jail on a felony terrorizing charge?

This is asinine!
Since when can the receiver of an anonymous delivery be implicated in a drug deal without the authorites first conducting an in depth investigation?
Sheesh…  Anyone and their cronies could have set this poor mayor up by sending the package to this unsuspecting household.
It’s not just the officers involved who were wrong but the ranking officers, commander, judge, etc.,  deserve punishment also.

That’s neanderthal for dogs but I’ll change it because some people don’t speak a second language.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hahaha!  Good response.

Another example of the stupidity of our “war on drugs”.

How did they enter this house without a warrant? Why would they shoot a dog that was running away, not attacking?

The smugness of the sheriff’s office spokeman’s rely is astounding. You don’t say dumb shit like that after a monster of a mistake is made. You keep your mouth shut, tell the press an investigation has been launched, and if your guys did what it LOOKS like these guys did, you put some heads on a pike for the public to see (figuratively speaking, of course). You don’t just jump into a smug defensive posture.

One more thing…..take a look at that guy and his wife’s picture. I understand that appearances aren’t everything, but these people couldn’t look any more milktoast if they tried. They WATCHED this guy go in. Did they not check to see who he was?

Okay…two more things. They KNEW there were dogs in the house. They don’t have tasers or pepper spray. Those work very well to incapacitate of drive off an attacking dog. And these were LABS for pete’s sake, not pit bulls.

This kind of stuff pisses me off. Now for the caveat….maybe they had a reason to do what they did.

Doesn’t look good, though.


The future ain’t what it used to be…..

Entrapment and terrorizing. Laughable.

Breaking the door down and a bunch of weirdly dressed armed strangers running into the house could agitate   a person’s dogs. Apparently they had to chase the younger dog into a back room to “neutralize” it.

Had SWAT not come in as they did the mayor with the help of his wife’s mother and the dogs could have quickly eaten the 32 pounds of pot.

Figure the county to settle with the mayor for $2 million. Go in front of a jury with a bad warrant
and two dead dogs, I doubt it.

Nice Article, Whistler..
Guess “Rodney King” isn’t the only one needing to look over his shoulder once in a while..
Of course, King was drugged up and resisting arrest. But, you really don’t wanna be around a “Worked Up” Cop.
Maybe in Prince George’s County, it’s a War on “Dogs”..
Not Drugs..
They have “dog” sniffing drugs which are delivered to doorsteps. Any dog seen after that, gets his ass shot in half..
