Sheriff Arpaio aims to put armed posse at schools | KVOA.com | Tucson, Arizona

An Arizona sheriff has announced plans to deploy an armed volunteer posse to protect Phoenix-area students in the wake of the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
..
He says he doesn't plan to put posse members inside schools but will have them posted around the perimeters...

Attorney General Tom Horne proposed firearms training for one person in each school. And Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu proposed training multiple educators per school to carry guns.

Gawd. I sure as hell don't miss the insanity that is the norm in AZ. Arpaio is certifiable.
 
Gee...Law enforcement and everyday volunteer citizens, joining forces to help keep their community safe from armed lunatics.

Oh, how extreme! :rolleyes:

Who shall decide who the lunatics are?

The very police you unarmed types are so trusting of to be there at a second's notice when something bad happens.

I'm sure the "posse" will be vetted by the sheriff's department and properly deputized (a rule that in Arizona is probably still on the books)
 
Does the posse have to provide birth certificates?

The people who get paid to do so will.

And who are they? And when will they decide YOU are a lunatic?

Homosexuality was once considered "lunatic" and a sickness.

Children growing up in a society where they see armed people all the time are very likely to view this as "normal" .............................................. and very likely to become paranoid adults who will shoot at anything that makes a funny noise. Or shoot someone who pisses them off for any reason. Or condone throwing someone into incarseration because they "might" become dangerous.

This is America? Sounds more like Nazi Germany.

If we can't start with lunatics who would shoot up a school full of unarmed children, where do you propose we do start?

Who decides if the people on the posse are lunatics? Sheriff Joe is old and crazy, a bit of a lunatic himself.

Wait until one of those cleetus's shoots an innocent victim. I.swear as bad as that is, I can't wait to hear your defense. Oh and do you have any idea how big some of those schools are? If hr is guarding a perimeter on the north side, a shooter could be IN the shook on the south side doing what he does. Sherrif Joe is.a headline grabbing ass.

That's the scary part.

People who don't live in Phx take for granted that Arpaio's own self-aggrandizement is accurate. Its not.

Among US sheriffs, he is 13th in actually deporting illegals even though he says he Number One. Clarence Dupnik of Pima county is the actually number one in the United States and has been honored by a national law enforcement for what he really does. Another KKK/white supremacist sheriff, Paul Babeu of Pinal county doesn't even register but he's the one who appeared in the phony "finish the damn fence" spot with McCain.

Arpaio is all badge, no sheriff. He's just looking for the spotlight and, just like his promise that he had "proof" of something about Obama's birth certificate and would be going public with it, he'll make noise to get the publicity and then slink away.

The rw's fall for it every time and they'll fall for it this time too.
 
rw's always react without thinking.

Read the replies to any of these threads and that's the one thing that comes through, loud and clear. They never stop to think, never bother to actually examine an issue. They just write what fox/lushbo tells them to write.
