Prince George's County cops have a long and well deserved reputation for being unusually stupid and violent thugs. They are the laughingstock of the DC metropolitan area, and have been for at least a decade.

One example, just off the top of my head: a couple years ago, they had to transfer a suspect to DC for some jurisdictional thing there, and the DC cops didn't show up at the border for the exchange, so they handcuffed the dude to a telephone pole and drove away. Guy spent most of the day handcuffed to the telephone pole in a horrible neighborhood in town before a passerby called 911.

This time, they shot a white mayor's dogs inside his home after improperly executing a search warrant. So it's gotten some attention. The FBI is investigating now.
