Even the Washington Post thinks that these cops were bumbling, incompetent buffoons...

Shoot First, Ask Later

All of Prince George’s County government is sinking to the level of a 3rd world nation - just like its neighboring D.C. There’s nothing but cronyism and corruption throughout.

“In some quarters, this has been viewed as a flawed police operation and an attack on the mayor, which it is not,” High said. “This was about an address, this was about a name on a package . . . and, in fact, our people did not know that this was the home of the mayor and his family until after the fact.”

In my opinion, performing a dynamic no-knock entry without performing due diligence, getting all of the facts and making sure that you have the right house amounts to criminal negligence. Someone should be prosecuted or at least fired for incompetence.

Also any officer that feels threatened by a Black Lab enough to shoot it shouldn’t be trusted with a loaded weapon. It shows an extreme lack of judgement. I can understand a Rottweiler, Pit Bull, Doberman, etc. But a Black Lab?? Boot that bum from the force and make room for a decent officer.

Not incompetent - say, rather, criminal.
