Mayor's dogs killed.

Police raid Md. mayor's home, kill his dogs

I hope he sues someone. Killing someone's dogs like that is just cruel.

That's horrible! How do you do that? I mean they were covered in Kevlar how could they be threatened by a lab?

[parathalyn]

I wouldn't think much of a cop in Kevlar that was afraid of any dog. Unless it is rabid, they don't have anything to be worried about. Shooting the dogs just shows how untrained/unsecure they are.

WTF?

Labs? I hope he gets someone's ass on a plate.

Even if they were a bully breed, shooting the dogs was inappropriate. It seems like these were well-behaved and beloved pets.

yeah i saw him giving a press release on the news yesterday and i was so fucking pissed. after hearing what happened and how it happened i had to change the channel. I would absolutely not be able to continue life if someone shot my dogs. they are basically my children and I consider them that. It would be like them shooting and killing my child.

it sickens me and I hope they fucking sue the shit out of the police/dea because thats WRONG on so many levels and completely inappropriate and who the heck are we supposed to trust if our own police system is so corrupt.

It seems like the mayor and his wife considered these dogs to be their children, so this is probably really pissing them off.

My friend, Sasha, has been really involved in the activism around this since she lives there.

[parathalyn]

Is there a lot of activism and public outcry going on in the area?

[discipuladc]

Yes. There have been petitions and rallies, and it's been pretty well documented on the news. Here's a priceless photo from the memorial ceremony/rally: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3235/2731595855_ac4bc9ab48.jpg
