We're the Only Ones Savage Enough

The DirecTV installers were struggling.

They'd been fiddling with the satellite TV system for two hours at Julie and Steven Pyle's home in Savage. The installers called DirecTV at one point, saying they were being "held hostage" on the job.

Then things really went haywire.

A DirecTV dispatcher called the police, who showed up at the Pyle house with guns drawn. Savage police forced Julie Pyle to the ground in her driveway and handcuffed her, even after the DirecTV installers told officers there'd been a mistake, the Pyles say.

"But they were all pumped up..."

Well, DirecTV says it beats cable. I didn't realize they could also arrange to have the same thing done to their customers.
