This is a long article. It is the story of the SWAT raid on the mayor's home in Berwyn Heights, MD. They raided the house and shot his 2 Labs.
I am still so upset after reading it I can't see straight. The part about the dogs is horrible. Actually, all of it is, but that has made me the most upset.
I want to just slap somebody until I run out of steam.

7. It was in this Sunday's paper.

I don't know how much of it is new. I didn't follow it as closely as you may have. I'm sure it's very current.

2. This story was big on DU when it first happened. It was very upsetting

3. I read all about it then.

It is even more infuriating to see how the authorities are still acting.

4. This is the type of story I sometimes avoid reading. I haven't read the article you posted.

My blood pressure would go thru the roof! :mad:

6. The PG County police are totally fucked up

This is only one of an endless series of "accidental" police shootings and other outrageous acts by the county's police department. What's needed is a federal prosecutor and a special grand jury to put the PG cops under a microscope and, if necessary, prosecute a lot of people.

I live in a neighboring county and I hesitate to go to Prince Georges County for any reason because of their psycho police department.
