When I first saw this story, I thought it was old news from Copenhagen, where a SWAT team hilariously responded to the sounds of gunfire coming from a loud PS3. However, it's happened again. A woman was out walking and heard screams coming from a New Jersey house. She did the natural thing and phoned for the professionals, but when they got there, it all went a bit daft.
Upon police arrival, the resident of the house refused to let them in, explaining that the screams were caused by a videogame session. He was said to be "irrational" at this point, and when more cops arrived, he threatened them and slammed the door in their faces.
Cops had to speak with the man through open windows, and then the SWAT Team arrived. Seriously.
Eventually, the man left his abode peacefully, and currently awaits psychological examination at the Somerset Medical Center. This makers the second time in history that an armed response team has had to interrupt a man's gaming session. Not quite as funny as the Danish incident, but still pretty brilliant.

They're like....every cop in every state.
Annoying as fuck, overpaid, and there are way too many in suburban areas compared to "urban" areas.
I don't blame the guy, if it were me I'd tell them to gtfo.
You legally have a right to deny police entry into your homes under all circumstances, except when they have a warrant, or possible cause. In the latter they can simply enter without permission anyway.
I would have done the same, and explained to them that they were retards for wasting valuable city resources over my geeking out on a video game.
Then when they leave, you can find the twit that called them and use your murder-skills you learned in video games to kill her.
Ha ha, this story is hilarious. People are taking gaming a little too seriously.
One post describes the right way to handle the situation, the other describes how to imply that you are looking for a full cavity search.
Please provide your address and the next time you plan to "geek out" and I'm sure someone here can give you a chance to be the paragon of legal rights....
There are some things worth standing up for and some things that just require a bit of effort to avoid a misunderstand that just MIGHT get you stuck in a cell with Bubba the ArsePounding Red Kneck...
Does this make or does this mark the second time?
... and playing with an audience is just that much more fun!
Again, screaming crazy man yells threats at the police and barricades himself. No one knows what he has inside or what he's planning to do. Goddamn right SWAT is going to be involved.
The whole thing ended peacefully and the man is no doubt getting the help he needs. The police did everything right.
