What do you think about the recent news story of a Maryland couple whose home was stormed..

Question

by police who then shot the couple's two, apparently, harmless Labrador retrievers? When it was discovered that it was a case of mistaken identity, the police didn't even have the decency to apologize. What had happened to our country and to the people who are supposed to "serve and protect"?

Answer 1

It has really bothered me.  I'm terrified of police officers because apparently they have a license to do anything to the citizenry these days.  I'm just effin' sick of them.  I have never had a police officer help me when I needed it and all they ever do is hassle people and abuse their power.

Answer 2

didnt it involve a package of marijuana or something like that?

Sucks that they had to shoot the dogs

Answer 3

The police should be tried for second-degree murder and given 10 years to life.  

Answer 4

They think they can do anything and get away with it. It's getting terrible.

Answer 5

its unjustifiable. And any person who attempts to defend or justify such actions is pure evil himself.

i don't think police will survive the lawsuit in this case, because way too many of their actions have been displayed by media 24/7.  

Answer 6

Check out the story.

US drug enforcement is out of control.

Answer 7

The couple was the Mayor and his wife. The mother inlaw was thrown to the floor also. Those cops will get fired. What about the ones that kill innocent blacks and latinos everyday? Nothing happns to them. I've been beat up by the police also and they lied and said I resisted arrest. The law needs to be changed, they shouldn't be able to say you are resisting arrest when they have no reason to arrest you.
