PolitickerMD sent us a copy of their latest editorial cartoon, about the killing of two dogs by a Prince Georges County, Maryland, SWAT team:

By the way, the Lima, Ohio, SWAT team, whose officer was just acquitted for the killing of Tarika Wilson and the maiming of her infant child, killed two dogs too. They shot people on one floor and dogs (pit bulls) on another.
To be fair, the guy they were targeting supposedly unleashed the pit bulls on the officers who came after him downstairs. But that's no excuse -- he was defending himself from invaders of unknown nature who as far as he could tell intended to kill him -- had they not sent in a SWAT team for this minor situation, none of it would have happened at all.

I don't agree
Hi,
I totally agree that a Swat team should not be sent in and I'm a huuuuge animal rights activist. However, the reality is they were sent in and if a killer pit bull was unleashed on them they still have a right to protect themself. Therefore the killing of the pit bull to protect their own life is not wrong even if they shouldn't be there anyway.

Police Brutality or a civil society, that is the real question?
Truly Reforming Law Enforcement has been the goal of a three year quest for me and over two years by my group of peace loving people, called: Oregon State Police-Independent Citizens Review Board.
WE THE PEOPLE, all agree that the vast majority of peace officers do a good job, some do exceptional work on and off the job, but as in all occupations some are unfit which has been very dangerous to many people nationwide.
We are the nation's only all volunteer, all private citizens, not appointed by any government officials, police oversight board. We seek nor accept any funds from any source and we are a non-political group.
To learn of some of our amazing progress to bring sanity and trust in policing please just google: Truly Reforming Law Enforcement and/or my name, Jerry Atlansky and then call me for an unbelievable update of our national actions to make 2009 the year law enforcement is reborn.
Only LOVE will prevail!
Future success,
Jerry Atlansky-Chairperson

SWAT Cowards
SWAT is busting down 50,000 doors a year, most over illegal plants and shooting the family dogs in the process and sometimes innocent people protecting their family from a home invasion. SWAT is not often called to respond to a truly dangerous situation as intended but are used routinely on all drug warrants.
SWAT was designed to deal with KNOWN dangerous situations but has turned into a pot prohibition force.
