When Police Intervene

"How should public resources be managed when dealing with celebrities? And, when it comes to Britney Spears, when is enough, enough?"

These two rhetorical, obviated questions, simply because they imply conceits that when fully tested with the reality of the situation, snap the reporter who asked them on the ass with a studded belt, a few hundred times. Behold the kind of stupid it takes to ask these two questions, in light of the calamity that is the coverage of Britney Spears in the national media, when it???s just so blatantly obvious that it was the press coverage that gave cause to an elevated police presence. This renders the first question, moot.
The premise of the question was the potential value of police resources being misallocated due to the fact that Ms. Spears is a celebrity. One stymied by such a conundrum is forced to reckon with the fact that it is due, in large part, to the fact that Ms. Spears is a celebrity that has caused the police to be summoned in such large number to wherever it is she has chosen to act out her panoply of irksome, attention seeking behavior and resultant suicidal ideation. One taking these two facts into their immediate consideration becomes consternated by the fact that the narcissist is wasting police resources.
Hence, the idiot with the press card tucked into the band on their fedora asks, ???And, when it comes to Britney Spears, when is enough, enough???? I???d say enough occurred, a while back, when press coverage of celebrities became so abundant that the press, themselves, lost the essential ability for self-awareness. Consider, if you will, the cat who sees its own tail and begins chasing it: The cat is not concerned with the fact that the tail belongs to it. The cat, in fact, believes the tail to belong to another cat and begins running in circles, wildly, and while it looks very cute, its owners have learned to accept the fact that their beloved pet is a complete dumbass.
Omitting the regard for the cat as one which is endeared, consider my regard for the press coverage of whatever celebrity du jour happens into the path of the next reporter to be that, roughly similar to the consideration of a complete dumbass. You???re all idiots of the worst variety, separated from reality by the very feedback loop they???ve facilitated. Utter stupidity has been made profitable by journalistic poseurs who would sooner mock logical conclusions than to abide by them. Your deleterious nature is so painfully apparent that even the editor of this trifling pap rag deserves contempt for the cheap, yellow journalism spewing like dysentery from the ass of an elephant gorged on Mexican tap water. You have broken the first rule of journalism, idiot(s)! Don???t become part of the story.

It'd be nice if the paparazzi wasn't hanging on Britney's every move with the twisted need to know how many squares of toilet paper she uses to wipe her backside. That'd stress anybody out and with the emotional tumoil of going through a divorce it'd be enough to push most people over the edge of sanity. Let the poor girl get some help for goodness sake! I'll never understand why it is that just because someone is famous they lose the right to have a personal life. What ever happened to common courtesy?

Spears, Ledger, Hilton etc...the one thing they have in common is they are all LOOSERS . America and the media are obsessed with loosers like these.

Just Shoot all the Poparazzi, everyone will be better off in the world!

WE ARE SICK AND TIRED TO SEE SPEARS ON THE NEWS EVERY DAY. WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE TALK AND FOCUS ON THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT TO THE UNITED STATES LIKE HEALTH CARE, GAS PRICES, AND WAR. IT'S PEOPLE LIKE IGNORANT CELEB'S THAT MAKE US ALL OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT THAT AMERICA IS FALLING APART. YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK.

Re peace and love - Your comment is telling. You say that this is not all that interesting and isn't important. Well then why did you take the time to read it? And the most telling is your first sentence. 'leave britney alone', the call of true spears fans everywhere. Except you did mispell her name.

Leave Brittany alone. First of all, it's not all that interesting and it definitely isn't important.

I THINK IT IS TIME TO MAKE THE PAPARAZZI PAY FOR THE EXTRA SECURITY.....SURELY WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY GET FOR CLAMMERING AROUND LIKE A 3 RING CIRCUS IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO PAY UP FOR THE EXTRA SECURITY NEEDED IN CERTAIN CASES....THEY PUT THE CELEBRITIES AT HIGHER RISKS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES FOR PEOPLE SUCH AS BRITNEY AND THEIR FAMILIES........ALSO FINE THE PAPARAZZI HEAVILY.....

Britney is a person in crisis, and intervention is warranted. It troubles me that she has been treated scathingly by the press. It disturbs me that these reports are what "sells" . I see it as little more than rubber necking at a traffic accident, and yet, this reaction by the press and the talking heads can only deepen her crisis. She needs insulation from the public eye and a long period of medical care. I wish her a full recovery and a reparation of her family relationships. I agree with "justagirlinthisworld" , everyone should give her some space. Anyone who has felt the weight of depression or might imagine how a life as a popular performing artist could shift your perceptions of life and reality should be able to find boty empathy and sympathy for her.

OUT!?!? She needs at least a year being a ward of the state in a mental institution. Britney is completely insane, drug addicted and unable to function alone or in society. I feel a non-family member professional should be appointed/paid to handle Britney's assets, while she gets the psychological help that she desperately needs. Otherwise she will commit suicided by the end of 2008.

Lt. Wall....Thanks for explaining the process and still showing great respect for this persons privacy. I think the press should back off and leave her alone. The most important thing is that she can now get the help she needs, and no one got hurt. The press is responsible for the waste of taxpayer money when they turned this into a circus. I would say that LAPD did an outstanding job!

I'm glad to see Britney under a doctors care, even if by force. This girl is a mess and she needs help, or I believe we'll be reading about her suicide in the not too distant future. She's made most of the mess herself, but be that as it may, she does deserve some compassion. I agree that people need to leave her alone, however, there is no "right to privacy" guaranteed to anyone.

Would be nice if people would back off and stop dragging her through the mud. Has anyone ever heard of DEPRESSION????

Britney Spears should be left alone. Anyone has a right to privacy . No matter how stupid the supreme court is. The equal protection clause in the constitution and the persuit of happiness clause is enough to keep miserable trash like the paparatz out of your face.

Britney Spears is the latest victum of invasion of privacy rights. When they are not working everyone should have the right to privacy. Anything else should be reguarded as stalking.
