On Dallas becomes THE game for Green Bay

Both Charter and the NFL network are to blame for this. The NFL network is only allowing the game to be shown in the "home" markets of Milwaukee and Green Bay when everyone knows that the whole state of Wisconsin is the Packer's home market. I just made the switch to DirectTV and the offerings are basically the same other than having access to NFLN and the Big 10 network. DirectTV has more HD channels, but the HD reception/picture on Charter seems to be better. Obviously this is ALL about money, from both charter's side and the NFL/Big 10. And we lose

Interesting case, but that sounds nothing like this situation. In that case, there was no clear danger to the kid involved, other than the fact that he *may* have been drunk driving. I do not disagree one bit that the officer in the case you cited overstepped his bounderies. Following one guy home and busting into his house is a bit different than going into a house with underage drinkers who are shooting off fireworks, damaging property, and supposedly had firearms. I know that if this were my home that was being destroyed or if it were my kid who was at the party drinking before they were 21, I'd absolutely want the cops to break up the party.

thekai-
I don't think we have to assume that the people involved in this incident were being irresponsible. Is spraying ketchup on the walls of the house responsible? Is lighting off fireworks inside the house responsible? Is driving through other people's yard (while intoxicated) responsible? Is a 21 year old who gives a 16 year old booze responsible? Not only are all these things stupid and irresponsible, they are also illegal (ok, spraying ketchup on the wall isn't illegal).

wooduckhunter-
did they mace the first floor or the second floor? Because it seems you are getting confused on that fact.
My point was that usually in these cases, the police make their presence known and the people who are (illegally) drinking in the house lock themselves inside. From the story above, it was at this point that the 911 call was made in an attempt to divert the police to another location. The fact remains that there were several illegal activities going on inside this house, and the officers made the right call. And for anyone who thinks that underage drinking at someone's house is an innocent activity, look no further than the 16 year old girl who was drinking with friends and decided to get behind the wheel and ended up killing someone. This is why the police break up parties like this.

I'm pretty sure a 911 call orginiating from inside the house, whether from a land line or cell phone, opens the door for the officers to investigate the safety of the people in the house. Furthermore, I highly doubt that the police ambushed the house as described by posters who claim to have been there. Usually in these situations, they give the occupants of the house plenty of notice that they are there. Obviously the people in the house knew they were there, as evidenced by the fake 911 call to try to get the police to leave (brilliant thinking there).

I find it quite ironic that the two most commented stories on this website are this one and the one about the 16 year old who drove drunk and killed an innocent man. This community needs to wake up and stop being in denial that alcohol is a huge problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against drinking, but I'm also old enough and responsible enough to do it in moderation, and when I do happen to over-indulge, I always do so when I know I'm not going to have to drive anywhere. Obviously the people involved in this party are not responsible enough, as evidenced by the prank 911 call, driving through people's yards to try to elude the police, and the general disregard for the property they were at. Anyone who thinks these kids weren't doing anything wrong and had their civil rights violated needs to her their head out of the sand and realize that maybe getting arrested and fined for underage drinking is the wake up call these kids need to be a little more responsible. Unfortunately, the stories like the 16 year old drunk driver are all too common in this community.....

Why are we all so afraid of immigrants? Do you think they're going to take over the country, take our land and make all of us Americans live on reservations?
