[quote=Catty1;2010420]Rap star DMX has been arrested on animal cruelty and drug possession charges after a standoff at his house near Phoenix, Ariz.

Don't you just love the way TV and newspapers spin things??!!

Um, there was NO standoff, they did go to his house at like 3 am, and yes he did lock himself in the bathroom, to get dressed.

I am in no way supporting what he has done, or is doing but it wouldn't have been such a great story if they told it the way it actually happened.

If someone pounded at your door at 3am, wouldn't you be alarmed?

Our Sherrif is doing a great job, but he does love to have his face on TV. And the reporters just love to spin things...........

****So this is a good lesson - in journalsim only - don't believe everything you see or read!

The actual reason they went to his house is because of a traffice ticket back in January where he was going 100 mph on a freeway. This raid really had nothing to do with the dog fiasco. But for some reason they all tied this together. What a great story though, huh?

Are things that boring in the desert?

Oh, oh, oh!

After thinking about it for a few seconds I have no doubt the shire reeve may have slightly exaggerated the story to 'keep those hollywood types from thinking that they can come into my community, have loud parties, park expensive cars that block the street and just think they can take over the place."

Seriously,
The story was probably lifted from the blotter-written by Arpaio hisself!
