Police kill Mayor's dogs, but refuse to admit mistake

Here's a sad story about a Mayor and his family in Maryland.

The police burst in without announcing themselves, shot his two dogs, handcuffed him, arrested him and his wife.

It turns out they made a mistake.

The mistake is obvious, but the police are admitting no wrongdoing.

I find it hard to listen to the police complain about how hard they have it, when they literally "screw up" this badly and then deny their mistake.

Someone needs to lose their job over this. Unless public servants begin to suffer personally for such disasters in judgment, then there will be little incentive to improve their performance.
