I hope the end result isn’t a bunch of medals for courage under adverse circumstances.

I hope they OWN the cops that did this before it's over with. I'm sick of reading about out of control cops kicking doors in... KNOCK AND ANNOUCE YOURSELF LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO. You aren't the Gestapo, even thou you think you are...

I can believe the police did this. I'm dealing with a loser detective that is supposed to be working on a case for me which is plain as day to see. A lot of these guys see themselves as above the law and a I'll do it when I can type attitude. I've lost most of my respect for law enforcement.

This story is unreal...the kind of thing one could expect happening in, say, Russia. This should scare all Americans. Seriously scary stuff.

Cops tend to cover for other cops unless there is some serious political pressure applied to do otherwise. My guess is that the FBI will say - “It’s a shame - but them’s the breaks”.

Once again, we are witness to Cops behaving badly and probably getting away with it.

If a mayor isn’t safe from these thugs, nobody is.

Where’s Gov. O’Malley and Maryland’s two Dem Senators on this one?

Courts across the country in recent years have ruled that it is almost always unacceptable for police to kill pets in the course of searching a home.

Now they have to rewrite all their manuals.

When strangers with guns invade the home, a well-trained dog will try to defend his master’s family.
Shame on LEOs who kill these faithful dogs. They should be made to pay restitution by way of a hefty fine and jailed for the pain they have caused the family.

It is a sad state of affairs when private citizens have to live in a walled, gated compound to protect themselves from criminal police squads.

See also KATHERINE JOHNSON, the 90 year old grandmother murdered by Atlanta JBTs during a home invasion/no-knock assualt on her home. (Cops planted a bag of weed and lied to get a warrant, close to these Md dog murders).

Let’s be honest with ourselves here.

The PG County Sheriff is black.

The FBI has conducted one operation after another against law-abiding citizens with ruthless tenacity and disregard for rules of evidence.

The FBI has specialized in covering up their own spectacular failures. The FBI has become a very adept at playing the political game in DC, and making sure that they’re “sensitive” to “minority feelings.”

Does anyone who doesn’t believe in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny *and* Santa Claus honestly believe that the FBI is going to do anything other than help the PG County Clowns cover their plush, donut-fed posteriors?

Killing dogs is considered a "last resort," said John Gnagey, executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association, a group that provides tactical training for police departments and is advocating a national accreditation system for SWAT programs.

What B.S. Remember at Waco, killing all the dogs kept in kennels at the back of the structure was one of the first things our heros did, after shooting up the place from a helicopter with "non fixed weapons".

PG County is a giant cesspool and it never will be drained.

I, too, hope the Mayor ends up owning the sheriffs department and the deputies.

They served a standard warrant in a “No-Knock” fashion, which in and of itself should have nullified the warrant. The Deputies KNEW FULL WELL what type of warrant they had.

Shooting of a family pet after it was running away! Only reason is to put fear into and intimidate the family inside.

Refusal to give a copy of the warrant to the Mayor when requested smells, period. It was delivered HOURS later, and not by the officers who served the “alleged” warrant.

Looks like the Sherrif has taken lessons from the County police recently. Liars, ALL OF THEM! Oh, and before the pro law enforcement lobby jumps down on me with their jack-boots, it is because of the “Code of silence” and the “Blue Line” that covers up this type of activity. If it had been just an “Ordinary Citizen”, we would have never heard of it.

And, remember, it could happen to YOU!

Glad I no longer live in Pee Gee County. Sadly, I sill have to work there.

Can anybody tell me was a County PD is? I'm from out west and counties have Sheriffs and Cities have PDs. This story uses the terms PD and Sheriff...I'm confused.

I know Fairfax County has a PD...

Some police forces are way too quick to use their paramilitary SWAT teams and no knock warrants. The cops and the person who planned this “search” need to be fired and, if appropriate, charged. There is no excuse for this sort of raid where, in broad day light, thugs with badges raid the house of a suspect with no history of violence with guns blazing. This isn’t Hollywood. I don’t want cops knocking down doors, tying up old ladies, and shooting up houses based on very circumstantial evidence.

This reminds me of the case in Atlanta where jackbooted storm troopers blew away an 80 something year old lady and a case in NC where goons in uniform killed a kid who stole a playstation. They knocked on his door at 2 AM. As the unarmed teen came to the door an officer got spooked and started firing through the closed door killing the kid. Why you need a heavily armed swat team to take down a college kid in the middle of the night who was suspected of stealing a playstation is beyond me. I guess SWAT hadn't had much to do in a while in Wilmington and wanted to have some fun.
