Don’t Worry, This Went Exactly As Planned
So police discover a package of marijuana apparently shipped to the mayor of a small town in Prince George’s County and respond by sending a SWAT team to pounce on the unarmed man as he returns from work, killing his two Labradors for good measure. The police then handcuff him and his mother-in-law next to their pets and interrogate them for hours as blood pools on the floor. And a PG police spokesman says the raid was carried out properly according to their policies.
I’m sure it was. Does anybody else see anything wrong with our policies?

One of the most unsettling parts of that article is this quote from Sgt. Mario Ellis, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman: “We’re not in the habit of going to homes and shooting peoples’ dogs,” Ellis said. “If we were, there would be a lot more dead dogs around the county.”
Sadly, Radley Balko’s research on paramilitary raids suggests otherwise.
I think this is total madness. They leave the package on the porch with his wife’s name on it, he brings it in, and they kick the door in. You can’t exactly flush 32 pounds down the toilet while the police are knocking on the front door. Yet instead of attempting to make contact with the resident they had seen entering the home two dogs are dead.

Holy hell!!! WTF?
I just don’t get the sadistic connection with killing a persons pets in the name their even more sadistic idea of justice.
Cannabis users are just cattle to our law enforcement, and are just in their way and must be eradicated from existence.
These DEA backed swat teams are just as detrimental to our modern day society as Hitler’s SS Nazi party that our fathers and grandfathers fought so hard to eradicate from existence, and now they are rearing their ugly heads back up again in our society.
The question I have is; Why do the rest of us sit idly by and keep letting these abusive and unjust law enforcement agencies keep these brutal and totally uncalled for tactics as part of their rules of engagement, without even being brought before sanctions to stop them from playing god and killing the innocent and harmless?
I think the Infatuation with death and destruction comes from so many of our law enforcement officers being trained by the militarily to be trained killers and then sent out into our peaceful streets to reek havoc on our week and innocent.
This practice MUST STOP!!! Our American society is not a war zone and should not be treated as such…96 year old defenseless women and the pets of families and not terroristic enemies, and should not be treated as such.
There is NO JUSTIFICATION that excuses this excessive show of force, and this must be STOPPED…PERIOD!!!
I don’t want to see my innocent wife and my 4 year old son fall pray to these Nazi wanna-be’s, for no good reason other than the fact that daddy needs his natural medication!

So, if we were to ship, say, a pound of weed to, say, John Walters, he would get his door broke down and his dogs shot? Just wondering out loud.
What I dont understand is why I have to come to the net to find out what is really going on. Of course , we all know mainstream media is driven, if not controlled, by Big Brother. I do see it slowly making its way onto the screen. There is so much We the People are not being told in the ‘free society’. We have been lead like sheep for so long
yes fascism is ugly. And it is rampant.
And I thought 1984 was a warning, not a reference guide.
