Authorities in southern Arizona are searching for a deputy who radioed for help and said he had been shot with an AK-47 assault rifle in a remote desert area. Pinal County Sheriff's Lt. Tammy Villar says the deputy called in Friday to say he had encountered a group and been shot in the abdomen.
The area is used by drug- and human-smugglers from Mexico.
However, the circumstances that led to the shooting are unclear.

Arizona must defend itself. Arizona has the absolute responsibility to defend its citizens.
Yep, I think we can lay this one on Al $harpton and his hateful rhetoric.

PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities in southern Arizona have found a deputy wounded in a shootout with suspected drug smugglers after a frantic hour-long desert search.
Pinal County sheriff’s Lt. Tamatha Villar says the deputy suffered a superficial wound to his abdomen after being shot with an AK-47 assault rifle Friday afternoon. He was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Casa Grande, about 40 miles south of Phoenix.

I caught that in later reading. Thank you for your response.
Isn’t this the County where the Sheriff said that he was not going to enforce the new immigration law?
Exactly every police and sheriffs dept around here including the Podunk Mayberry's have a system called ADL which allows the dispatcher to track units via GPS so they the closest car can be dispatched to a call.
It also allows them to know exactly where an officer is on a traffic stop so all the officer has to do is hit a panic button on his portable radio and dispatch will seen help, don't even need to talk.
I believe Casa Grande is in Pima County.
Okay...
WHy would this deputy effect a traffic stop w/o giving the location of the traffic stop, HWY 1234, at or about mile marker 123456 etc...
On HWY 54321 about 5 miles from the city limits of Skunk Bottom Hollow...
The Deputy was meticulous enough to call out the type and kind of weapon used to shot him, yet he failed to give out a location?
WTH!?!?!

Even the cheapest of GPS units you can buy at Sprawl-Mart allow for 3 meter solutions.

Heads up.
He was found injured and being flown to hospital. from updates on this and 2 other threads.
I’m sure Obama will find time between golf and basketball to issue a statement. Just like he did for the professor/cop Cambridge situation. Any minute now.
Any minute.
OK, I wasn’t sure. That Sheriff was on Greta last night (and I think he’s on tonight).

“You always post negative articles about America’s police force, what is your beef with them?”
What the hell are you talking about? I’ve never posted any such thing. I think that you’ve got me confused with somebody else.
Is it possible that with Arizona saying enuff of the Illegals and stuff that the Mexican Cartels have declared war on Arizona?
Pure speculation on my part.
Seems the Cartels have been taking out Mexican LEO and politicians who bugger them why would they see a border as any reason to stop them.
