POLICE MUTINY IN ARIZONA

My friend if you have not seen and listened to this video you are going to be totally amazed. It seems like a long needed show of force by police officers has come a head. I lived in Phoenix, Arizona, and I can tell you from experience and first hand knowledge the officers are not paid enough to put up with the gangs, scum, crime, politicians, and other malcontents that populate this deserts city. More power to them, and maybe, just maybe some of the narcissistic Pieces Of S*** known as elected officials will figure out which side they are on. Just because you are elected to, office does not mean you can solve a DAMN thing. Honest truth most of the elected persons that I have personally known were smart, but had about as much street smarts, and business known how of a piss-ant.

A Salute and more power to you too the Officers of the Phoenix, Police Department.

MUTINY in ARIZONA!

This Arizona police organization finally had enough of their local politicians pandering to immigration protest groups and speaks out. Arizona...like California...and Texas is a border state and deals with the full impact of illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the US on a daily basis. Because 99% of these often dangerous criminal violators are from south of the border...the police is accused of racial profiling.

It is difficult for Law Enforcement officials to put up with ignorant politicians who pander to liberal activists wanting ILLEGAL ALIENS from ANYWHERE to enter our country. Finally, someone had the guts to stand up and speak out.

From an old county deputy and then Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent in Oklahoma: We are with you Arizona guys.

I think every bitching politician and citizen should be sentenced to ride with a cop for two-weeks every year. And I don't mean those pansy-assed "ride alongs" where the officer has been ordered to keep his "citizen visitor" way in the background so they won't get hurt (or, far more frightening to police bureaucracy and politicians, the department gets SUED). Let them walk side by side through a pitch-black warehouse with the cop who answers the burglary-in-progress report, lighting the way with a flashlight which he also knows may be pinpointing HIM to some murderous miscreant hiding in wait.

Take them along on manhunts through the woods to which some well-armed meth-freak ran and is now hiding after already shooting a couple of other officers.

Let them walk up to the driver's or passenger's side window after a group of obvious gang-bangers---wearing their "colors" in open defiance of all authority and decency in general---have been stopped for having a tail light out. And finally, when the inevitable happens, and one of them gets killed, we'll all wear black bands over our driver's licenses, have a big parade for them from the church to the cemetery, and then see just how much comfort that brings to the widow and the young children who will grow up without a father or mother.

You guys in Arizona aren't racists, you're REALISTS. If a hundred Canadians an hour were being smuggled across the Northern border of the U.S., you'd be arresting primarily Caucasians. If Japan bordered the U.S., the majority of arrests would be of Japanese.

As my late, GREAT friend Jim Cirillo said right before the NYPD closed down their Stakeout Unit" because too many "minorities" were getting shot during armed robberies: "Well, send in some white armed robbers. I'll be happy to shoot them, too."

Final Comment by the author:

For those who did not know Jim Cirillo and his squad of dedicated police officer in New York City were the inspiration for the movie 'Seven Ups.' The quote that Jerry credits to Jim is authentic. Jerry and I were in Las Vegas at a convention and Jim was there selling his book. Jerry and I had been talking to Jim about the early days of his "take down squad" that had made him and his men famous.

Jim related how he and his squad had caused the armed robberies of Mom and Pop stores to drop by over 80% in just a few months due to their tactics. He told us of some of the shooting and the people that were being shot. He and his team did not mix words or preferences when it came to shooting the bad guys. You got one warning and then they shot. One short period and numerous bad guys shot brought a civilian review board down on him. Ordered to report to a civilian watch board that was filled with political bureaucrats from within the City of New York government, assorted liberal do gooders, and ACORN types. Tired of having himself and his men being called racist, and worst he stood and told the committee of narcissistic pieces of excrement (my word) “Well ...Send in some white armed robbers. I'll be happy to shoot them, too."

Jim Cirillo was an interesting and brave man of his time, who was honest and forthright in his beliefs. One hundred years earlier and Jim would have been taming cow towns like Wichita, Kansas, Tombstone, Arizona, or Deadwood in the Dakota Territories. I was honored to have known Jim Cirillo before his death.

I am also honored to know Jerry Van Cook, and have shared some good times both here in the states as well as overseas. His company, knowledge, and spirt have been an inspiration too me.

I want to thank Jerry Van Cook for permission to publish the email that he sent to me.
