An Accokeek couple is demanding an apology after Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Deputies burst into their home and killed their dog – all because deputies went to the wrong address.
Pam and Frank Myers were tucked away in their home Friday night watching a movie when the warrant squad pounced.
“All of a sudden I hear, bang, bang, bang, ‘Open the door, police, open the door,'” said Pam Myers.
For 45 minutes the Myers were kept prisoner in their own home.
“They wouldn’t let me go to the bathroom which is like seven feet down the hall,” said Frank Myers.

Ya know, I’ve read a lot of stories about this sort of thing happening lately, and I think it’s time to fight back. Let’s arm ourselves with some tasers and put hidden cameras in our dwellings. That way, in case we’re “accidentally” raided, we put the videos of it all over the net. Hell, send them to your Chief of Police, local news cast, the Mayor, your Congressmen and Senators.

Of course, be careful filming cops: http://nycphotorights.com/wordpress/
You could end up in more trouble than you were in before.
