There are good times and bad times to call the police it seems.
Today, I learned of two times to NOT call them.
Don’t ask them to tow away your car after the crash with your dead granny buried beneath an air bag.
Her 48-year old son was in critical condition and unable to ask, “Is mom okay?”

Meanwhile a SWAT team, (On Jack Bauer’s command?) headed into a North Minneapolis home only to have the homeowner shoot back at them.
The cops had the wrong house, and the homeowner who did not speak English thought the ‘bad guys’ were after him.
The man hit two police officers, who thankfully, were wearing protective vests.

One Catholic Father asked his parish to pray that the Miami Dolphins would finally win a game.
The 0-12 team won. The Ravens lost their 8th straight despite certain prayers on their behalf.
What’s God to do in a case like this anyway?

Meanwhile, another team, the Pittsburgh Steelers may have had a direct line to the Almighty.
A woman took her dead husband’s ashes to a Steelers’ game to honor the second of his two dying wishes:
1. have the team logo carved into his gravestone
2. take him to Heinz Field, the place he wanted to see most.
We might reckon his ashes saw the place, while he was in heaven making a direct pitch for his team.
Seriously, can we leave God out of these games?

Some people should never be allowed to be parents.
A 20-year old mother lost her 9-month old when the baby climbed into a bucket of bleach and drowned.
Mom was watching TV when her little one crawled away unnoticed.
It must have been something awfully interesting on the tube to get the mom to leave the bucket of bleach out, take her three kids in to sit and watch, and then miss one kid wandering off.

And this mom…posted a video on MySpace of her two-year old smoking and cussing.
The mom apparently was having her little one mimic something the mom had seen on TV.
Maybe, it’s just easier to take televisions away from some parents.
