Um.. No. Pinal County is not full of murder and kidnapping.
Ten year stats. 89 murders in 10 years for a county of 350,000+. Babeu is fine, but I have known him since his days on the North Adams, MA, City Council when he was part of the "Gang of Five." He used his position then to try and get the spotlight to run for mayor. He ran and lost, twice. He moved to AZ because he knew he would never be more than a beat cop in North Adams. Paul is doing the same thing in AZ that he did here, spotlight hogging. He always wants more. Good for him, but sometimes he bites off more than he can chew.
One of his Deputies was ambushed by illegals carrying AK47s.
I don’t know who he was back in MA, but here he is telling the truth. When you have a sign put up by the Federal Govt telling the citizens of the US to stay away from a particular area because of smugglers, we have a problem. The sign is in his county. If he’s putting a spotlight on the problem, I’d say he’s doing his J.O.B.
