Lakers star Metta World Peace got a scare Monday night, when police responded to a report of four armed men outside his Westside condo complex.
According to TMZ, the LAPD got a call around midnight about four armed men — three with handguns and one with a shotgun — lurking outside Metta’s home.
Police initially handcuffed Metta’s brother and cousin after they heard the commotion and came out to speak with cops.
Officers had to wake up the Lakers forward, who quickly vouched for his family.
Eventually, the so-called “armed suspects” came out and proved to police that they were actually residents of the complex.
They were apparently returning home with BB guns while recording a video, TMZ reports. The website says that the four men got off with a warning.

With Ron Artest, ANYTHING bad can happen. He's a troublemaking hothead asshole.

Do you know Ron Artest? Don't base your information on past actions of people, because they do change.

here we go again…why were they handcuffed by the cops? does that telll you something about LA cops?

YOU are a moron. Why not call your local police station and ask them WHY they handcuff these baboons AS THEY ARE APPROACHING a volitile situation. You're so quick to jump on the cops. They have to deal with niggers every single day, in mostly high crime areas. If you think you have all the answers, try doing THEIR job. THEY risk their lives for IDIOTS like you 24/7/365.
Get an education.

what is this the 1800's!!?? Why the N word?..
February 19, 2013 at 4:07 PM
You need to get an education and stop referring to blacks as niggers! Look up the word and get the real definition. Move forward. They arrest whites also every single day! Get a life!!!

Hey stupid, the cops were doing their job and being safe in the process.

What's the harm in having them handcuffed. Once it can be explained that they are not the ones carrying the weapons, they get taken off. No harm to anyone. What, no weapons? Just toys? The one calling the police didn't know that. No one knew no weapons until those with the toys came out to explain why they were outside with the toys.

Handcuffed to protect the safety of the officers!!!!! Once the situation is cleared, then the handcuffs are removed.

Ron Artest has been trouble for a very long time. Typical nigger NBA player.
February 19, 2013 at 4:01 PM
Why does he have to be called a "nigger". You need to go and look up the word nigger and get a better understanding!!
February 19, 2013 at 8:10 PM
A nigger is a nigger. It's slang for NEGRO, which IS their actual race. The NEGRO race. Some are NEGROS, but ALOT of them are NIGGERS. Black people who break the laws of this land are NIGGERS. If you don't get it, you never will.

lacofortwenty did you really choose to use a racial slur? Your parents must be quite proud.
February 19, 2013 at 7:25 PM
My parents hate niggers too. They've earned their stripes from 1965 on. The shit hit the fan and has become worse through the DECADES.

Here we go, again! There is never any excuse for using the "N" word, mouths ought to be wiped out with a large bar of brown soap. It's protocol for police to handcuff anyone they think might be "suspect" and what were those kids doing running around holding bb guns? Stupid, could have gotten shot. Stupid and rude, disrespectful. Also, FYI, I think LAPD is still on edge from the Dorner incident, it would not be wise to piss them off unnecessarily. Once on scene, they handcuff everyone for safety reasons until things are sorted out.

LAPD SHOULDA TOOK ALL THOSE NEGROES OUT!……THAT GUY WOULD BE WORKING AT A BURGER JOINT IF HE WASN'T BOUNCING A KIDS BALL FOR A WEALTHY WHITE MAN!
February 19, 2013 at 4:04 PM
Mark, grow up. You don't know what he would be doing if he wasn't playing basketball. But from all your remarks I can see that you are not so bright (intelligent). LAPD should take out all those that need to be taken out, blacks, whites, etc. GROW UP!!!!!

Its amazing how many coward racist bastards are on here.. Closet racist who would never attempt to say those things in a african americans face.. Black people didn't choose to be here.. People actually went out of their way to get them here.. Waaaay out of their way actually..
February 19, 2013 at 8:58 PM
First of all, niggers are not african american. There isn't any such thing. They are the NEGRO race. PERIOD. The lawbreaking baboons are the niggers. Granted there is white trash out there as well. No question. I don't condone their crap either. HOWEVER, MOST of the daily crime in this country IS FROM NIGGERS.
Secondly, I am a racist, and I have VERY good reason for being a racist. THE NIGGERS have earned my thoughts about them through the years. YOU are the bastard. Go fuck yourself.
I could give a shit less what you think. PRICK.

Stereotypes, Blackman in prominent white neighborhood. He's gotta be guilty. "BOOK HIM DANNO"!
February 19, 2013 at 7:29 PM
Two things you can't give a nigger. A fat lip and a black eye. You don't have to actually give them anything. They'll just STEAL it.
February 20, 2013 at 9:30 AM
jeez, Midnight …reports of 4 black men with guns…I would've brought in the SWAT. These men had no business walking around with BB guns that resembles the real thing. People get robbed and raped with fake guns,
