Joe Arpaio Lies, Insults His Deputies, Promises School-Posses with "Automatic and Semi-Automatic" Weapons

I wonder if one of those army veterans in the Posse, go into Flashback armed with an automatic weapon,  thinking that all those children are the enemy, what is going to happen

All it takes is one simple happy trigger finger and Arpaio will have himself in a noose hanging by a limb of a tree in his own back yard.

I recall being chased around Sun City by a volunteer posse. I was doing mu job of deleting auto parts. I did not know he was tailing me. When I arrived at my destination, this old guy jumped out of his car, mind you he had cop lights on it too, he was threatening me and was going to turn me in and then I noticed he had his hand on his holster. I turned to him and said, " I did not break any laws. I did not speed. I am only guilty of being a Latino. You on the other hand are impersonating an officer, so, you probably broke more laws just cause you think you have the right to harass and chase people. Talk about profiling, I'm a woman and Hispanic, two thing that old timers hate. I told him where he could go, and I proceeded to tell him he better get out of my sight in 5 minutes or I am going to make a complaint.". He then hurriedly got into his make shift cop car and left. I never was bothered by him or any other jerk water posse.

Yep. The Newtown killer was terrified of dying right before he shot himself.

Unless it is someone, like, maybe, JT Ready in his posse.

That thumbnail is priceless

What an idiot

your assault weapons are useless against armed drones and stealth fighters.

And if anyone brings up the militia crap let me say this..

Scot you mentioned the kid from yesterday and his bullying story, he was already suspended last year for designing a "hit list". I don't believe his story and to say "good for him" is asinine. There are other ways to handle bullies and when I went to school I did it. It's called being badder then the bully and kicking his ass. It seems more kids would rather have a weapon do it for them now. It's not just one thing that will solve this problem it is many combined and gun control over assault weapons and high capacity clips of a start.

It's not exact science Joe, but it's human nature, these idiots don't always wanna die too, but i think it makes some of them think twice and the more of us that have concealed permits the less it would happen, I think. They go after people they think are defenseless, although as someone else pointed out gun control or for that matter everyone having a gun will not stop the evil from doing horrible things. I think the facts are that we are never going to curb this sort of thing till people have their heads screwed on straight, and until many other things take place first..look at that kid yesterday...shot a bully, good for him...that needs to stop and who knows, maybe bullies will think twice before doing their shit to others from now on in fear of later retribution ? Certainly arming everyone isn't going to solve it either. Explaining those things you mentioned on says to me that having armed people around didn't stop anything there from happening anymore than if everyone laid down there weapons and said no more, which we know will never happen. I still don't know what the pic has to do with the story, lol...I'm lost, lol

Watch out ... here come some FACTS!!!!

If any of you ignorant people would actually look at the Posse and what they do, you might change your thinking. Attend orientation and see the age range of people that are in the Posse. For all of you that think everyone is from Sun City, you are sadly mistaken. There is a large group that range from 20-45. And if you start with OMG, 20! ... well, they can fight for your country at 18 ... still wanna complain? The man hours that the Posse provides every year, if you were to pay them, because remember, they work for FREE ... would be about 4.5 MILLION dollars. Not only do they give their time for FREE, but all of their uniforms and equipment are payed for by themselves. Nothing comes out of your pocket ... even the marked cars they drive aren't county owned.

Explain Fort Hood, Virginia Tech or Columbine

con´t....little sense

Sorry Scott your analogy makes lite

Ok, stop being shock-journalists. Throwing a picture of gay, man-love up there makes you look unprofessional and just as ignorant as the homophobes.

well i'm a big believer in if evil doers think that people are carrying weapons themselves, such in the case of concealed weapons permits, they are less likely to commit their evil, just saying...they want places where no one will fight back, but if they think everyone will they will back down

I'm sure that a deranged person planning to kill children will think twice if he/she knows there is an armed guard at the school. Puleeeze!

WTH does the image have to do with the article? How more biased can you get???

thats exactly what it is lol

"Maricopa County Sheriff's Office posse man Glenn Coffman gets naked with an alleged prostitute." Nice thumbnail!

Now if the teachers were armed and had proper training the posse could be used elsewhere. Gun Control will never stop an Evil man set out to do Evil.

What the hell is up with that photo?

why does the photo look like two Men holding eachother ever so tightly?

When isn't Arpaio a liar....it is what he does best.

This old fool boasts a .50 Cal. machine gun atop his "tank". A weapon that has a safety range of more than 7 miles. 'nuff said!!

The old man is truly a goober. Such an embarassment to law enforcement.

What he didn't say was that his deputy who is now fighting for his life very likely did not follow trained procedures in how to deal with what is known as a "High Risk -or- Felony Stop". I have the utmost sympathy for the family of the deputy and I hope he pulls through and lives to take his due retirement. However, he apparently made some mistakes that put him in peril and almost cost him his life.

The old man described his deputy as "old school and tough". Neither of which will stop bullets.

With 29 years of MCSO service I think the deputy should have been riding a desk until his retirement date. I also think that having elderly members of the posse in uniform and marked cars is asking for one or more of those posse members to be attacked. The old man didn't have an answer for that one.

Perhaps divine intervention will occur and the old man will retire to a snowy pasture in Massachusetts, where he belongs.

In the mean time professional law enforcement officers are taking the brunt of being the ass of jokes due to this nasty, evil, selfish bastard who calls himself a 'shurf'.
