Schools in Maricopa county Arizona

Sheriff Joe Arpiacopa said this morning on the news that his posse of three thousand armed member will take over the duty of patrolling around schools. These are volunteers so no cost sounds great until you take a good look. First this is Arpiacopa's private police force. It has been said Joe has a teflon coat because he has escaped prosecution for miss use of fund and a lot of other charges. Now he has a foot in the door to have more control over the young people and for a number of reasons I don't consider Joe a good roll modal. I would not stay in Maine if one of our sheriffs enlisted thousand of private citizens armed and answering just to them. To me this sounds a little like the brown shirts in Germany be for the war.
