We're the Only Ones "It All Depends on the Meaning of the Word 'Irrational'" Enough

After the officers arrived, the man became increasingly irate, refused to let the officers into the house, threatened officers and then slammed the door, police said. [More]
And that's more irrational than, say, calling out the SWAT team because somebody is yelling while playing video games how, exactly...? Because it really doesn't sound all that unreasonable...

I had to bellow at elder feral son Uday last night because he was on some damn game where he could talk to his online opponent, and tell him to hold it down.

Had I but known I had an "Only Ones" option available...

I gotcher "First Person Shooter" right here, pally...

Funny how every piece of information in this article ends with, "police said".

Also funny is how the police view the word NO as irate and irrational and a threat to officer safety, necessitating a SWAT party.

But then again, if it was the police what dunnit, it must have been the right thing to do. Right? RIGHT? Or are you going to be irrational? Don't you go gettin' irate with me....
