It’s been a few days since this made national headlines, the raid on the Mayor’s house which resulted in the shooting of his 2 black labradors. As a labrador lover, and as a dog lover I can only imagine how the scene played out. This is a horrible incident, which should of never happened. Yet some how, in some way has happened to the right person. Some one who has a voice who can speak out about this, to help prevent such a thing from happening to others.
Such investigations really should be done with care, Prince George County lacked that, and seems to be due to a large dose of corruption within the county. Honestly, if the correct investigation was done, officers would of known there were dogs in the house. With this information, at least have an officer gladded in K9 training gear, which they use to train German Shepherds, and from that, grab the dogs to then place them in ready available crates. Not shoot them, and now you know why not to shoot them. Because now you have a big effing mess on your hands.
I sure hope the FBI does a good job at investigating the county government and the county police, and I sure hope there are some consequences that are paid for this wrongly and poorly executed operation.
As for Mayor Cheye Calvo, I hope to you the best, the best thing to do via healing is often to get a new pet. It very well may be much harder do to the circumstances, but it’s a thought. On to other issues, you now have a deck of cards handed to you, deal with tactics. From this incident you can quickly take over the County Executive seat if played well. Or to state or federal levels. How bout Congressman Cheye Calvo? The bigger the name you get, the bigger the punch you can throw at this, the better you can crack it in a sense of making sure it never happens to another citizen ever again.
Congressman Cheye Calvo..President Cheye Calvo…hey you got my vote!
Best of wishes to you,
Patrick

According to veteran law enforcement, the war on drugs has not reduced the incidence of drug use, has not reduced the flow of drugs, and has created the modern Capone, the drug lords. The drug war is targeting blacks, resulting in an incarceration rate of blacks in the US that is over five times higher per 100,000 than were imprisoned in South Africa at the height of apartheid.

The Cato Institute has documented the widespread abuse of innocent citizens in botched raids. Categories are death of an innocent, death or injury of a police officer, death of a nonviolent offender, raid on an innocent suspect, other examples of paramilitary police excess, and unnecessary raids on doctors and sick people.

Anytime the government says war on something it is guaranteed to be an attack on our freedom and the Constitution. The federal government needs to be restricted to Constitutional parameters, which is very little outside the national defense, the mail, and the census. All laws and government actions should cite a clear Constitutional basis before going into effect, not be in effect until some citizen prevails in court.
