give me a break
Give me a freakin break. It is not like these guys were harming property or violating someones rights. They played a game that was purchased proceeds from drug dealers and people want to smack these guys around. I say keep your heads up, keep throwing d bags in jail and in the future you may want to hone in your searching process.

The suspect(s) were in custody, the house was clear, during the search the officer were blowing off a little steam. Unprofessional... Yes crime...no. Have the supervisor conduct a little training then call it a day. I wonder why the media didn;t report on the drug's, guns's and money that was found in the house???

Boys will be boys. Who really cares?

It's not like they sat down and watched some porn and played with themselves.

The report
This Orlando Sentinel article was one of the lead articles on Yahoo! this weekend. The full text of the article mentions that playing Wii while on the taxpayer clock was a serious issue. Officer.com edited out about half the article.

Come on "pros", you are kidding right. Are you even a real cop? Why didn't the media report more on the reason why the cops were there?........because that headline doesn't draw viewers or subscribers. There is NO WAY this is a violation of law, so how do you accuse them of being crooked cops? Maybe if they were abusing the suspect, stealing money or intentionally destroying property your acuusations might be justified. How many times have you been on a search warrant team where you bust into a house and the dopers have their video games on while rolling a fatty or cutting their product. It is extremely common. Picking up the controller for a few seconds/minutes is a non-news, no harm, no violation issue!
