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.

 Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America
 By Radley Balko

  No-Knock Raids - A special report on the militarization of law enforcement and the dramatic rise in the use of paramilitary police units for routine police work.

 ====


 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.

if it had happened to a non-politician, it never would have made the news. hell, people are more upset about the two dogs than they are about all the human lives that have been thrown under this juggernaut.

Make no mistake...this problem is getting worse and worse and since 911, all cops think that they are invincible. They consume city and county budgets to the point of bankruptcy (Alameda California where cops and fire eat up 81% of the budget) and soon.....very soon, another effort will come forth to disarm America so that only cops have guns. This is as close to a police state as you can get without being there. Look back at the past few weeks over the entire country. Cops shoot everything they can....if not with a gun, then with TASER guns. Little old ladies in wheelchairs....unruly men with a broken back, children in our grammar schools. It is time to say NO. These people are overpaid...don't do very much and here in Santa Rosa CA they just were awarded thousand of dollars in back pay because they did not get paid for the time it took to put on their uniform. Have we gotten to the point where we are afraid to tell them NO? They are getting more insane by the minute and in spite of what they did to this poor mayor, his wife and those beautiful family pets, those cops don't think they did anything wrong. Well, it is time to start hanging these morons.....one by one and do so each and every day until they learn that they work for the public and it is not the other way around.

power corrupts-period. just look at our police/terrorists. some are sadists with badges while others are good peeps doing a tough job.
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.

I have known people in law enforcement in various stages of rank and career, and I can tell you it doesn't take long for people in uniform to become jaded and apathetic about their actions while "serving", just as long as they are on the "right" side of the law. I think over the years this helps blunt you to everyday horrors and doing shitting things like locking people away in cages to protect them from other people. I think if analyzed closely this syndrome starts to look like PTSD but the trauma is not instant and intense, it is cumulative over many years. So are their walking sociopaths in uniform with badges and guns? Yes. Is it the personality type or a symptom of the job? Probably both.

What a bunch of shit. The one dog is running away and shot in the back.
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!!!!!!!!

dumb laws. : 2008-08-07 05:38:56
Fuckin' hogs. I hope these pigs recieve karmic justice. Not just the bacon that did the shooting, but all of the swine that were involved in the operation from start to finish.
fuckin' pigs. : 2008-08-06 12:26:07
the shot one of the dogs in the back as it was running away...
fucking brutal. Felt threatened my ass.
kill them. : 2008-08-06 12:04:50
That just sums up exactly what's wrong with the type of idiot unforgivable mentality that enforces the illegality of cannabis in the first place.

Of course, had anyone responded by shooting the cops dead when they actually were unreasonably endangering another, in order to prevent their proposed drugs bust, then they'd be up for murder. I'd sooner have two harmless dogs alive than two dangerous psychotic arseholes that'd that bust anyone for pot.
