The Prince George's sheriff's office has concluded in an internal review that its deputies were justified when they shot and killed two dogs belonging to the mayor of Berwyn Heights during a July drug raid, Sheriff Michael Jackson said today.

Jackson released the results of the review in response to a scientific examination of the carcasses of the two dogs conducted by a veterinarian with the Maryland Department of Agriculture at the request of Mayor Cheye Calvo. The necropsy concluded one dog was shot four times and the other twice, including once in the dog's back legs.

A sheriff's department SWAT team and county police narcotics officers burst into the Calvo home on July 29 after police intercepted a package filled with 32 pounds of marijuana addressed to Trinity Tomsic, Calvo's wife.

Police later cleared Calvo and Tomsic of wrongdoing, saying they were innocent victims of a drug smuggling scheme in which drug-filled packages addressed to unsuspecting recipients were intercepted by a FedEx delivery man. . . .

NO. NO. NO. I wrote the governor of Maryland and got a form letter back. He kicked the ball down the street, and said he forwarded my letter to the Prince George's County executive.

I'm writing him again. This is outrageous, and I will not put up with it in the state in which I live.

I hope you will join me in protesting this outrage.
