Berwyn Heights mayor sues Prince George's County over SWAT raid that killed his dogs | Washington Examiner

A suburban mayor whose black Labrador retrievers were gunned down by a SWAT team in an errant raid said Monday that he is suing Prince George's County because its law enforcement agencies are incapable of policing themselves and need outside oversight.

Berwyn Heights Mayor Cheye Calvo said in his lawsuit that the county police and sheriff's office frequently break the law by having SWAT teams enter innocent people's houses without a proper warrant and "randomly and routinely" kill family pets.

He is asking a judge to order the county to change its policies because the county's leaders have shown "they lack the will and credibility to do so," Calvo said.
