Why not watch terrible police work?

A New Way To Handle Unruly Kids

"Police say two central Indiana officers have been placed on administrative duty after using a stun gun on an unruly 10-year-old boy at a home day care. Martinsville police say the officers were called Tuesday to the home, where they had gone several times on reports that the boy was combative and trying to harm other children and caretakers. The department says that when officers arrived they found the boy out of control, hitting and kicking and refusing to listen to the officers. The department says the officers then used a stun gun and slapped the boy (FoxNews)."

I am sure there was a better way to handle this, but I am actually not against this. Maybe this kid will learn his fucking lesson. This wasn't the first time the cops were called, and it seems like he was completely out of control. My questions is where are the parents?

This may have been a little above the law, but the alternative would have been something like this...

Who am I kidding, I just was looking for an excuse to use that clip.

Police Breakup Fight Between Cabrera and Wife

"Police in suburban Detroit say Miguel Cabrera and his wife got into a fight at their home over the weekend after the Tigers slugger came home drunk around 5 a.m. Birmingham Police Chief Richard Patterson said Monday that Cabrera's wife called 911 at 6 a.m. Saturday, requesting police assistance. Miguel Cabrera opened the door for officers. Patterson says the Cabreras had been fighting and each had marks on their faces as a result. The chief says Rosangel Cabrera asked that her husband leave the house, so officers took him to the police station, where he was picked up by Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski around 7:30 a.m. No charges are pending in the case (Sportsline)."

Doesn't sound like much will come of this, but certainly is not the distraction you want going into a 1 game playoff with the Twins. For the Tigers sake you hope that he can leave his off the field problems at home and focus on making the postseason.

Jonathan Wilhite Hurt Running From Attackers

"New England Patriots cornerback Jonathan Wilhite, who was a last-minute scratch for Sunday’s game, told police he pulled his groin hours before kickoff while running from two men who approached him outside his home, police said today. North Attleboro police responded to a Cumberland Farms near Wilhite’s home after the Pats player ran into the convenience store and asked a clerk to call authorities, cops said in a statement. Wilhite, 25, told police “two subjects” approached him in his parking lot when he arrived home. Police did not give an exact time of the incident. Wilhite said one person “approached him on foot and yelled at him,” the police statement said.

“Mr. Wilhite became concerned and ran to Cumberland Farms where he asked the clerk to call police,” the statement said. “He did mention that he had pulled his groin while he was running (Boston Herald).”

I was wondering why he wasn't on the field. I figured he pulled his groin during practice, but instead it was cause by some North Attleboro scum. It sounds like he is fine, and will be able to play next week, but this is a very bazaar story.

WTF?!

My thoughts on the ordeal:

Why Not?

Why not call 911 over a fast food place ripping you off. Well this is why....

Why Not?

Why not taser a 72 year old woman?

Only in Texas...

Vince Young Suicide Watch

According to ESPN, "According to Nashville Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron, Young "abruptly" left his home in Williamson County at around 7 p.m. Monday without his cell phone. Those with him at his home, including family members, were "concerned with his emotional well-being," Aaron said. and Police issued a bulletin to all on-duty officers to be on the lookout for Young and negotiators were also placed on stand-by, a procedure that is common in such situations, Aaron said."

Oh no. If anyone has been following this web-site, they know I have an ungodly amount of faith in Vince Young, but this doesn't sound that great. In fact, it sounds terrible. Vince hasn't lived up to expectations coming out of Texas and the pressure might be too much. No one calls the police if someone is bummed out, Vince Young is flat out on suicide watch.

Vince has said some odd things this off-season, including threatening to retire. His maturity has always been in question, but I hope for the Titans and Vince Young's sake he is able to shake this and right the ship.

Why Not?

Why not watch a policeman get owned by a drum?
