Maryland mayor's dogs killed in drug raid
There seems to be something shady going on with the law enforcement in Prince Georges county. Either that or the mayor is involved in some sort of drug trafficking. The latter being highly unlikely.
Members of a Prince George's County Sheriff's Office SWAT team shot the dogs Tuesday while bursting into the home of Mayor Cheye Calvo. The raid, conducted jointly with county police narcotics officers, took place after officers saw Calvo bring a package containing more than 30 pounds of marijuana from his front porch into his house. They had been tracking the package since police dogs sniffed out the presence of drugs at a shipping facility in Arizona.
The package was addressed to Trinity Tomsic, Calvo's wife. But law enforcement sources said last week that they are now investigating the possibility that the mayor and his wife were unwitting recipients and that a deliveryman might have intended to intercept the package as part of a drug smuggling scheme.
Of course, when the Mayor's two dogs (neighborhood sweethearts, as far as anyone can tell) tried to warn the police of their mistake and told them to back off, the police shot both dogs dead.

That's some background information that you might appreciate. The Calvo family isn't the first...and it won't be the last. Your family could be next. My family could be next. Law enforcement agencies don't just kill innocent dogs in such 'raids.' Every year, more than 300 innocent Americans are killed and/or severely injured by law enforcement agents in these "mistaken" raids.
cops in chesapeake va busted into a home after an informant gave them bad info. the kid shot a cop and will probably get an injection over it. what's right about that?
thank God he didn't have any pets.
is this america or what?
let them come on over and try to shoot my dogs.
Sounds like our wonderful SWAT TEAM here in Spokane, Washington who gets their kicks shooting puppies and then having a beer over them while they laugh about it. What has happened to the people that are suppose to protect us. What's next, shooting kids with pop guns that could be a threat. I am ashamed to share the same earth with these idiots that call themselves law enforcement officers. Join the dog pound so you can get your kicks euthanizing animals or better yet go work in a nursing home and torture the disabled and mentally ill ---- oh wait mentally ill is what you morons that pick on animals are. Any psychological professional will tell you that the maming and killing of animals is the first sign of a psychoic personality. You people are shameless and should be shot while you are scared to death and running from someone. In the back with a slow death. And how did these "brave" (HA HA) men explain these heroic
actions to their kids? What men they are!!!!!!!!
fucking brutal. Felt threatened my ass.
