You may recall the pieces I posted about Chaye Calvo, mayor of Berwyn Heights, MD, whose dogs were killed by police during a messed-up pot raid.
Now, via Radley Balko at the Agitator, we discover a police officer so terrified of a dog he was forced to shoot it – in the driveway of the dog’s owner – when the policeman wasn’t even involved in any sort of raid or arrest or investigation. Just so happens this woman had a security camera trained on the driveway of her property. (Warning – the video includes the shooting of the dog.)
Did that look like a vicious dog rushing to attack to you? Yeah, me neither. Looked like a friendly curious dog running up to see who the strange man was.

I know this story has nothing to do with marijuana, but considering that most law enforcement think of us cannabis consumers as little more than animals, I thought it was worth posting.
If you have an opinion call the deputy and let him know. His number is area code four zero five, four eight five, four two zero one. Or send him a message. His my space is blah blah blah slash bigdaddyoic.
