Bieber raid no yolk

If anyone should have egg on their faces over the searching of Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber’s California mansion, it’s the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office for its hard- boiled response to a minor incident. News reports indicate that 12 police officers in 11 cruisers descended upon the singer’s Calabasas home Tuesday in response to accusations that Bieber egged his neighbour’s mansion last Thursday.

Police officials scrambled to explain why in a city with serious crime issues, so many detectives were needed to investigate the alleged egging.

The alleged attack was classified as a felony because the neighbour is claiming that the eggs marred expensive wood finishes and tiles at his home, causing $ 20,000 worth of damage. Sounds like an overdone allegation for a soft- boiled misdemeanour.

The only person arrested was Bieber’s buddy and rapper, Lil Za, for possession of drugs, believed to be cocaine, apparently left in “plain sight.”

Clearly, Bieber, who is 19, is showing signs that he’s turning into a bad egg.

There are reports that he recently spit off of a hotel balcony onto fans, speeds around his neighbourhood in his Ferrari and has shown up late for his own concerts.

Nevertheless, 11 police cruisers and 12 police officers swooping down on the home of a 19- year- old spoiled and wealthy male for an alleged egging is a gross example of police putting too many of their eggs in one basket.
