If this was a one time event, I would be outraged at the abuse of power and the senseless brutality. But I've heard of several such cases so instead, I wonder how often this sort of thing happens and we don’t hear about it. You say he's a part of the food chain as though this was a sting gone bad, the mayor truly is guilty or maybe you think it's just local politics. Either way, you are way too jaded.
Thing is, if it hadn’t happened to a town mayor, there is a good chance it never would have risen beyond the local paper and we never would have known or heard about it.
I hope the mayor is able to move this story to the national level and is able to get the absolute best lawyers working to sue everyone involved and get this insanity stopped.
Cops can be chasing someone through your yard and your dog doesn't like it, like he thinks it's his yard, so they kill your dog. Or they get the address wrong and kick in your door at 3 am. Your dog doesn't like it, like he thinks it's his house, so they blow it away. The adrenalin rush of it all is too much for you and you stroke or maybe you keep a gun under your pillow and when you reach for it, you're blown away along with your dog. These have happened and will happen again and again. Maybe you are or someone you care about is next?
This is not a war on drugs, this is a war on the Constitution and We, the People. How many more of these do we have to have? Like I said, I hope the mayor sues and wins enough to make it hurt. And then he and his wife can enjoy their new puppies and their twilight years.
There are customs and traditions around there that you'd expect in the Deep South, way back off the main roads.
All of the police forces in PG are clown shows.
And yes, we are jaded with their shenanigans. On the other hand, it's a hard core Democrat party redoubt ~ Stenney Hoyer, doggone near the Speaker of the House, used to run the place.
He probably doesn't see a thing wrong about any of this, and you probably thought Nancy Pelosi was a disaster ~ Stenney almost snaked her out of the job.
Their "hometown newspaper" is the Washington Post.
