Police Play Wii Bowling During Drug Raid

[uppitycracker]

What baffles me most about this story is that a DRUG DEALER plays the WII!!!

Did the world suddenly turn upside down???

drug dealers can't be gamers, too?

Of course they can...but a Wii???

Got a problem with the Wii?

...ummm, no...

I am the only one who finds it the least bit ironic that a DRUG DEALER [small](a dangerous criminals who makes money by trafficking illegal substances)[/small] owns and plays a Wii [small](a family-friendly console that makes money by selling games like Dog Island [http://blogs.trb.com/features/lifestyle/pets/blog/The-Dog-Island-US.jpg])[/small]???

A) Drug dealers are not, by definition, dangerous criminals (although they certainly are criminals). Plenty of people involved in drugs are just as passive as people like you and me, just with a more illegal means of making money. The majority of them don't traffic drugs, either. They get them from their source, who is often times one of many middle men between the producers and the traffickers, and sell em locally.

B) Even drug dealers can have bad taste in video games. Oh snap, did I just say that?

Considering the dealer pry did drugs he was messed up when he bought it and pry meant to get a good console like a 360, PS3, or a PC.

This is a joke. *Aimed at people who accuse me of hating the WII.* I don't hate it, just to clarify.

I can see the headlines from angry moms and dems now, Xbox turns your kid into a school shooter and the wii turns them into drug dealers.

 

[Woodsey]

Haha, oh dear.

It seems odd that it's being counted as being "seized" by them - I'm sure they must pick up other things or check computers or whatever if they go in. If they haven't sectioned it or anything, then surely they haven't seized it.

Bit of a fuck up though.

I forgot that doing drugs made you a bad person, who couldn't possibly play games.

Headlines, or PS3 ad campaign?

Nope, just your tax dollars at work.

They could've chosen a better game. Lousy cops with no taste.

Wouldn't have been nearly as funny if it was Halo or something. I could just see them enjoying themselves while Mr. Drug Dealer is cuffed on the floor. Much lulz to be had.

 

[Simalacrum]

[small]hee hee, I find that really really funny...[/small]

*ehem*IIII mean this is serious stuff! What are government doing with tax payers money, if they can't even train investigators to stop doing inappropriate activities during a drug raid?

by the way, the innuendo was quite deliberate ;D

 

[ae86gamer]

Must have been a fun drug raid though.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Unbelievable. If I'd heard of this news a few years ago I would have immediately have written it off as a The Onion-style satirical article. Reno 911 isn't supposed to be a documentary, guys.*

[sub]*Well, maybe it is. A fictional documentary...but you know what I mean.[/sub]

Shenanigans I say!

[Coinboy]

I lol'd

/serious

Why the hell weren't the other cops that were actually doing something telling them hey wtf are you doing

coz they were on the waiting for their turns

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

We need better police. Honestly? Wii Bowling? What possessed them to do that?

 

[IDBash]

That drug dealer hax!!! Lols... and he is gonna get off Scott free... that is amazing!!!

 

[The Great JT]

I could just see this on Cops.

"Yeah, I found another 400 pounds of hash in here, and there's..."
"Ssh, quiet! Al is going for a perfect game!"

 

[wootsniper]

Nintendo should really jump on this. It would make a great promo.

I mean thats their whole gimmick, right? Introduce gaming to a whole new audience...

they could simply use that clip as a commercial
easy
