(Washington Post)   Home invaders dressed as Prince George's County police break into three houses, ziptie the occupants, steal cash and bigscreen TV. They didn't shoot anyone, which is how people knew they weren't real PG County cops   (feeds.washingtonpost.com) divider line 70

I knew a group of guys that spent years skimming from charity gambling in Prince George County firehouses. In 5 years they got about $6mil between them.

They paid off the cops right and left, which might explain why none of them got caught.

So when I read about corruption in Prince George County I'm shocked. Shocked!! See, this is my shocked font.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that they are cops from PG county.

I love how the media still likes to use the term "flat-screen TV" as if it's some unique thing.

All you'll find in stores now are flat-screens. So, it's alright to just say that the "TV" was stolen.

PG County up in dis hizzo.

Keep it real!

This is one situation that scares me. I don't break the laws, so there is no reason for cops to charge in with a no knock warrant. However, it happens due to error. Should some people dressed in all black kick my door in I'm in a no win situation.

If I shoot and they are real cops I'm going to prison for life even if I thought my life was in danger.

If they are crooks and I don't shoot thinking they are cops they will take my gun and who knows what else.

If they are cops and I simply ask them to wait while I call 911 to verify they will probably shoot me anyway for holding a gun while calling 911.

This is why we should abolish no knock warrants.

Maryland, right next to Washington, DC.

Not to be confused with "Prince George" county, in Virginia, which is a bit more than half-way down the Chesapeake.

It isn't that PG county has a large population of whitey-hating African-Americans, though it has, more that it is a shiat hole.

No, we should simply define an unannounced intruder is fair game. You burst into someone's house unannounced, you should expect to be given lead pills, no matter who you are. That would make cops think twice about this stupid crap.

Most of the time they are no-knocking to collect evidence, not because of any kind of public safetly.

Exactly. Ryan Frederick, the guy who shot the unannounced cops breaking through his door in Chesapeake, VA, should have been acquitted. That would end this nonsense.

From the article: By 6 a.m., police said, the men had invaded three homes. And in Prince George's. And they all got away.

Huh? What kind of writing is this?
 
2009-07-08 07:58:20 AM
Quel, how often do you hear about people gettin shot up here in PW? Not a day goes by where you do not hear about a person (or multiple people) getting killed in either county...more PG than the other.

Ah, PG County, my old stomping grounds. Thankfully, we got out of there before it got too bad. Only had 3 bikes stolen, 2 cars that were broken into twice-each, tires slashed twice, and one time some moron let their kid drive a go-kart into our car.

Hey man not all of PG county is terrible. The northern tip and southern ends aren't all that bad. But 95% of it sure is.

University of Maryland, College Park is in PG County. Do NOT stray from the campus. If you do and get stabbed, it's your fault.

My bet is on the PG cop theory. They just didn't shoot anyone because they were off-duty.

Mercifully, I live in an incorporated city w/in the county, and we have our own police. Theoretically we're still in county jurisdiction, but realistically I rarely see them. And I sleep much better for it.

Bealach: My bet is on the PG cop theory. They just didn't shoot anyone because they were off-duty.

This. Plus they'd know ballistics evidence might nail them.
There was a similar string of robberies when I was a kid in Alachua county, targeting drug dealers the cops couldn't seem to bust.

Agree with the PW residents on PG/MoCo. Heard from a guy doing renovations for real estate companies on their REO properties that many of the "newer" residents have no clue when it comes to building and maintaining properties.

Silver Spring, Gaithersburg and Germantown have been hit the worst by the downturn, because that's where all the po' people and the migrants are. Met my wife when she was living on the PG/NE DC line. Amazed nothing ever happened to her, directly, but definitely got us crossing Tacoma Park and Hyattsville off of our list of potential places to go, what with our being white and all.

Far from sarcasm so nice try. Been a lot of people backing up my claim of what a shiathole PG is yet no ones said anything about PW. Like I said, look no further than they news to tell you how shiatty that county is
 
2009-07-08 09:27:23 AM
They didn't shoot anyone, which is how people knew they weren't real PG County cops.

The homeowners must not have had any dogs.

Kentlands, North Potomac, and other neighborhoods w/in Gaitherburg would like a word with you.

We lived there, wanted a bigger house and had to move out of county to afford something.

Now, the OTHER side of 355.. and Rockville... : x

whatever the demographic, it was just getting too damn crowded there. Our new neighborhood backs to one farm, adjoins another.. contented sigh. "that's the life for me, lalalalalala"

Huh? Grew up in MoCo and I don't even know where Prince William county is. And as much crap as we all talk about PG, it is still a far wealthier county than average, with better schools and public services than probably 90% of America (statistic pulled out of my anus).

Bethesda FTW!

What made the people think these guys were 'dressed up like cops'? I have a black T-shirt, black cargo pants, a gun and holster. Anyone can get complete police clothing online nowadays. I'd bet these guys were cops, doing what PG county cops do best.

Works for me. How about we abolish no knock warrants and make it so any idiot who is an unannounced intruder gets their arse shot off? That way we have the best of both worlds.

Grew up in Bethesda, its a bubble.

For all non-residents that farking county is big with damned near a million people living there. There parts with big cash, Potomac. Bethesda, parts of Rockville and Germantown have money too no where near potomac or Chevy Chase levels. Then you have Silver Spring although its making a come back. Parts of Wheaton are shaddy. Toccoma Park on the border with PC is strait up ghetto.

If anyone can cite a relatively stable, prosperous black majority municipality please let me know so people can stop calling me racist. Doesn't have to be in the US either, because we all know US blacks have their great great great great grandfather being a slave that caused all their current problems.
