Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse patrolling schools YAY!

[bayoubill]

This is so awesome. Sheriff Joe has such testicular fortitude and he puts his ideas into action. And his posse even includes Steven Seagal.

Here's part of the article from PoliceOne:

Arpaio said no taxpayer money would be spent on the patrols and volunteers will be supervised by radio or phone by deputies.

Joselyn Wells, the mother of three children at a school in suburban Anthem, where Arpaio's posse members have begun patrolling, said she was excited to hear about the initiative.

"A lot of people sit around and watch these things happen, watch key signs and no one wants to do anything about it," she said. "Nobody wants conflict, nobody wants to be out in the limelight. And he doesn't care. He wants to do the right thing."

Arpaio has relied heavily on his posse, which consist of about 3,000 unpaid civilians, including action-film star Steven Seagal.

They assist deputies in duties such as providing free police protection at malls during the holidays, directing traffic at wreck scenes and transporting to jail the people who are arrested in immigration patrols. One group of posse members conducted an examination into the authenticity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate.

Members wear uniforms and can get authorized to carry a gun after training, though only 400 can actually carry guns. They can make arrests only at the direction of a deputy sheriff. Posse operations generally don't receive taxpayer money and instead are funded through contributions and dues paid by posse members.

Beats the shit out of the dog and pony show up in Washington DC. At least he's trying something compared to this blatant gun grab by the liberal control freaks that will do nothing except punish law abiding citizens.

Do you know anything about that idiot? He is not "trying something"...he is a media whore. Period.

Yep.

And...............according to some reports on the news today, the kids in the schools where Arpaio has his posse running around are getting to the point where they don't feel comfortable going to school.

But, I guess he needed to figure out how to branch out his jail empire. Schools seem to be a good bet these days.

Arpaio is one of those local entrenched guys who will serve his community best when he finally dies and is replaced by someone who is less an asshole than him...
