You killed the mayor's dog?

Prince George's County cops have a long and well deserved reputation for being unusually stupid and violent thugs. They are the laughingstock of the DC metropolitan area, and have been for at least a decade.

One example, just off the top of my head: a couple years ago, they had to transfer a suspect to DC for some jurisdictional thing there, and the DC cops didn't show up at the border for the exchange, so they handcuffed the dude to a telephone pole and drove away. Guy spent most of the day handcuffed to the telephone pole in a horrible neighborhood in town before a passerby called 911.

This time, they shot a white mayor's dogs inside his home after improperly executing a search warrant. So it's gotten some attention. The FBI is investigating now.

Not only was the warrant execution bungled, the mayor was never given a complete copy of the warrant, which he is entitled to get. They never showed it to him during the event then sent him a copy missing key pages long after the fact.

Either someone's dropping a lot of balls or someone made a huge mistake and needs time to cover it up.

From what I could tell they never actually had a no-knock warrant.

That's awesome.

We get to cover swatting, no-knocks, dead dogs, and the thin blue line all in one article.

Then, in other news, there's Kwame Kilpatrick. Looks like they need a SWAT team around to throw and hold him.

No recall election or impeachment proceedings YET? Detroit? Detroit, WTF? Do you want a mayor who's dumber than Marion Barry?

[edit to add] Sure looks like they do, all things considered...

He was a dick.

I used to know another PG County cop. He's a bagpiper.
