Talk:Prince George's County Police Department

message: this is driving me bananas... how do I get it to keep the "References" section and still put the reference in. Right now it lets me do one or the other... not both Sallicio (talk) 00:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Fothergill Volkensniff IV is indeed incorrect in his protest about the civil rights violation being included in Wikipedia.  The Prince George's County Police Department has an unusual number of such allegations and severity of the most recent allegations is incompatible with reasonable law enforcement techniques or the law.  Such unusual deviation from the norm warrants inclusion in an encyclopedia article and was very helpful to me personally in making a decision to cancel a combined business/pleasure trip to the county as a matter of personal safety.Journeyman1944 (talk) 17:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Hmm. Perhaps we should include the fact that the citizens of the county are out of control as well, that the police department's hands are tied behind their back in dealing with crime, and that the Journeyman should look at the kinds of calls for service (more than 2,000 calls per day, multiple carjackings per night, barricades, domestic assaults, oh and let's not forget the annual 130+ homicides commited by the friendly locals) when deciding his "business/pleasure trip" to PG county. I think people should do more research and not rely on the oh-so-accurate media to base ignorant opinions. Another ... person afraid of PG...there's an effing surprise. Keep the article balanced. --Sallicio\color{Red} \oplus 00:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Propriety of including civil rights violation issues in Wikipedia law enforcement agency pages

message: The single incident which made headline news recently is longer and more attention paid to it than any other part of the article. Clearly this article is a screed against PG county police and way out of balance. To see how its done (better), see New York City police. Fothergill Volkensniff IV (talk) 22:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely out of balance... just an observation, but why does the beating of a college student get its own subsection, but the officer that is murdered get a passing mention in one sentence? --It's me...Sallicio!\color{Red} \oplus 18:28, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Article is out of balance

message: I have made two substantive updates where the article was contradicted by many media accounts describing statements by both county officials and Mayor Calvo. I have also added an Associated Press citation as printed in USA Today to substantiate both corrections. First, I changed the statement "When Calvo's mother-in-law brought the package inside," to "When Calvo brought the package inside". A wide variety of news accounts and video of the Mayor speaking at his press conference clearly state that Calvo's mother-in-law instructed the officer posing as a delivery man that the package be placed on the porch but did not bring it into the house. Some time later, Calvo returned home and brought the package into the house. Second, I changed "the addressee, Cheye Calvo, the mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland." to "addressed to the wife of Cheye Calvo, mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland". Numerous accounts indicate that the package was not addressed to the Mayor, but to his wife. Spril4 (talk) 13:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incident with mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland 

message: I see the new user Mb2217 has eliminated the section on various incidents and accidents. I do not think we have quite reached consensus on this. Even if the dog-shooting thing was a one-off tidbit, it seems that the Justice Department MOA is quite important. Time to act one way or the other.

message: If someone wants to add this in, the PGC Police killed a dog, joining their Sheriff's Department in the illustrious game of dog-murdering. Here. 128.239.40.88 (talk) 21:48, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll see if I can't add it into the article. FWIW, canines can't be "murdered". They can be killed, but not murdered. "Murder" is a legal term usually reserved for the killing of members of homo sapiens sapiens. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 04:56, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
