Animal lovers take a stand; police brutality

Did you ear about the new controversial police raid on a Maryland Mayor Cheye Calvo home yesterday where police busted into the Mayor's home, without a warrant, and ruthlessly shot and killed the couples two Black Labs? While I'm pissed that police are kicking down doors of upstanding citizens without a warrant, I'm even more upset that they took the lives of two beloved innocent pets. And all this for the cause of tracking down some harmless marijuana. Read the article here, or just do a google search and watch the wife of the Mayor in her heart-breaking speech to the general public where she deplores the conduct of said police department for killing her dogs. Really, this world is going to shit.
Coincidentally, and this is a subject I normally shy away from, on this very same website where I cited the former article, comes news that Congress is finally taking seriously the issue of medical marijuana and the decriminalization of drugs in America. Read it here. For the first time since 1978 Congress is making sense. Obviously Maryland police officers did not get the memo.
