Support Your Local Stormtrooper

"Prince George’s residents and activists say the recurring accusations against police Cpl. Keith Washington, who last week was accused of an act of violence for the second time in less than three months, are becoming a black eye for the county that must be resolved.

Washington, the county’s deputy homeland security director, was arrested and charged with first-degree assault Friday, after he allegedly pulled a gun on a real estate appraiser who mistakenly came to his home Thursday morning. Washington posted bail after spending the afternoon in an Upper Marlboro jail.

He was already under investigation in connection with an incident at his Accokeek home Jan. 24, in which he shot two furniture deliverymen; one later died. Sources say a grand jury is considering evidence in that case, but no charges have been filed.

‘‘I think it just really reflects poorly on the county ... It’s reminded folks of how the police department used to be a long time ago,” said Omar Boulware, president of the Prince George’s Young Democrats, referring to brutality charges that surfaced against police officers in the ’90s. ‘‘I don’t believe that’s the way our police force is now.”

So you don't believe your own eyes, Omar? The guy is the definition of a loose cannon but not a charge has been filed against him?

Because, after all, he's a cop and not just some poor schmuck who happens to not be a cop?

Rescue us from the elite gestapo types who have taken away our streets.

Yet another salute to The War On Guns
