Players arrested '06

[MadMarchHare]

Check out CNN.  There's a video story right now about an effort to adopt away a pit bull that ate the toes off an infant.

racist baby no doubt deserved it

It wasn't just a bust - 20 SWAT members kicked in the door and tossed a flash grenade before entering.

Wow, that's a hell of a way to execute a misdemeanor arrest warrant. I guess everyone at the station wanted to see the NFL player's house.

[Diomedes]

Or they knew a black man lived there, so they went Rambo on his shtein.

[MadMarchHare]

More likely, as the Tribune suggested early yesterday, they expected to find a significant amount of drugs there (dealer quantities).  The gun charges came out way after the warrant was issued.

My guess, they thought someone was dealing out of the house, and all they could find were guns, so they're trying to save face.

[Diomedes]

And why would they think someone was dealing there? 

Black guy, nice car?

Sounds to me like you've got some lousy cops.

He's not actually playing, but Quincy Carter was arrested for pot possession.(Can't copy and paste it)

And Randy Galloway bailed him out ($100 to bail bond co.) since no one else would.

[MadMarchHare]

We may have some lousy cops, but I don't think that's it.  It's a pretty diverse community.
There have been complaints from neighbors about the dogs, someone firing guns in the back yard, and lots of people living in the house.
Of course, his last arrest was for attacking a cop, but that was in Chicago, and the cop wouldn't press charges.  Who knows?

From my perspective (a couple of blocks away), he's been pretty quiet.  No big parties, etc.
I'd still like to see that small arsenal out of my neighborhood though.

I'd be more worried about the pack of pit bulls than the guns, but I'm a different flavor racist than you I guess.

YOWZA!

MORE TROUBLE FOR TANK

Less than two days after the home of Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson was raided, the man who was arrested for marijuana possession at Johnson's residence has been shot and killed.

William Posey, 26, was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on Saturday morning.  Although police have not confirmed that he is the same 26-year-old William Posey who was busted on Thursday, the Chicago media spotted Johnson exiting the same hospital on Saturday.

Posey was shot once in the back in a fight outside the Ice Bar.

On Friday, Posey said in court that he was Johnson's bodyguard.  He later posted bond and was released.

Also on Friday, the Bears announced that Johnson would miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.  Though coach Lovie Smith said that the move was not disciplinary in nature, it sure smells like a punishment to us.  It remains to be seen whether Johnson's absence extends beyond this weekend in light of the more recent incident.

Reminds me of the scene in "Jackie Brown" when Sam Jackson gets Chris Tucker to go along with him in the trunk and then caps his ass.

Posey knew too much so bam!, bye-bye Posey.

I'm not happy about the dogs either, Dio.  But according to his neighbors, they're merely loud, they've never gotten loose.
I really really hate guns.

[Diomedes]

Time for someone to join the NRA.

Damn.

[BlueHeart]

It's not the breed that's the problem, it's some of the people that own them. 

Anyway... anyone with a friggin' arsenal in their house should get their ass tossed in jail. Who the F needs more than ONE gun.
