From the Baltimore Sun 8/8
BERWYN HEIGHTS - When the shooting stopped, two dogs lay dead. A mayor sat in his boxers, hands bound behind his back. His handcuffed mother-in-law was sprawled on the kitchen floor, lying beside the body of one of the family pets that police had killed before her eyes.
.............................
What police left behind was a house stained with blood and a trail of questions about their conduct. No other evidence of illegal activity was found, and no one was arrested at Mayor Cheye Calvo's home in this small bedroom community near College Park.

How much longer will the people of the USA stand for such police abuse? Not even an "oop's we're sorry". The SWAT team got a "no-knock" warrant and treated it like a license to invade and kill. Spokesman for the SWAT team offered no apologies- and justified shooting one of the dogs in the back while running away by saying that the officers felt threatened by the dogs. Mayor Calvo did admit that the dog was an "aggressive licker".
I'll bet that the internal "investigation" will conclude that the cops did nothing wrong- after all that's the way it usually works. This time they might have picked on the wrong guy to victimize, he's already calling for the feds to step in.
OK let's here how you cop lovers justify this one........
