Drug Raid Lasts 9 Hours !!!  

I really don't think the cops deserve to be paid all those hours. Espically if there is video tape evidence proving the cops were slacking on the job. Cops are one profession that needs to start setting a better example for our younger generation. Whether they want to be or not. They are in the public eye.

GEEEEEESH.........How stupid can you get???

Don't they know there's been cases of people throwing their shoulder out playing WII bowling???

Well. I guess since it was a drug bust, they had something to do in between frames..............if you know what I mean.......*wink wink*

hiya Lori

At least they weren't filmed smoking pot while they were playing! It would make a great advert for WII too
Seriously though, is this where the tax payers money goes in America? Our British constabulary are probably just as guilty of such folly!

I think I would be fireing a bunch of people taking that long to raid the place.

hi lori oh my goodness how ridiculous they are, all the while getting
paid for police work, i thought my son was gaga over toontown but at least he wasnt wasting taxpayers dollars playing while he was paid to enforce the law. bowling for pete's sakes how really stupid. no wonder the chief said this is embarrassing. He should say that, if it'were my taxdollars I would be angry too. And one wonders what the drug dealers were doing all this time, questions here but no answers.

Well, I'd say that at least one police department needs to get their priorities in order! I know their job is stressful, but hey this was a drug raid. Come on guys you had paper work to do about what took place during the raid.
Playing can be done when you have nothing else to do and certainly on your own time. I know some people goof off when there is nothing to do at work.
But this was a job, granted the hard part was done. This shows lack of disapline and a lack of leadership as well.
The disdain they showed for their job is disconcerning to me as I am sure it is to others.

Hey Lori,
This is outrageous!! They should be made to work 9 hours without pay. Pay back what they took. Now if they spent 15 min. I'd saY NO BIG DEAL, GIVE THEM A BREAK. bUT 9 HOURS??

Well if it had been here in the UK, I rather doubt that our sturdy custodians of law and order would have busted the right house.

I think they should hang some butts! It sure seems like someone would have figured out something was up hours before that.

Jeepers, that is insane. That reminds me of the time the condo I lived in needed some work done in the inside walls due to roof problems, so the condo paid since it was the roof. I gave my neighbor that I trusted because I knew for a long time a key. She let the repair people in and then her phone rang so she went back to answer it real fast. I guess the repait people thought she would be gone longer becasue when she returned one of them was sitting in a chair looking at one of my Weighlifting Magazines!.......actually i thought it was kinda funny. he asked her WHO LIVES HERE?????
