Sheriff's Deputy Shot; Suspect Killed

A sheriff's deputy in eastern Arizona is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot while trying to arrest a suspect. The suspect was in turn shot and killed.

The confrontation occurred in the town of Eager around midnight.

Department of Public Safety spokesman Officer Steve Volden says the Apache County sheriff's deputy was shot twice in the head. He was airlifted to a Phoenix hospital.

His name wasn't immediately released.

Volden says the deputy was among several officers who were attempting to arrest 58-year-old William Milton Cooper of Eagar.

Volden says Cooper had been armed with a handgun. He says details of the shooting will be released later at a news conference. DPS was called in to investigating the shooting.

What on earth is happening here?

I dunno ... we havn't had our firearms confiscated yet -

- and we just had a court of law uphold our 2nd Amendment (the right to bear arms) ...

To tell you the truth - it's socialist Europe from our perspective that seems to have it's head screwed on backwards.

Say - how's the 'Euro' doing against the dollar these days?

Cute. Stupid, petty, devoid of intellectual value, and childish--but cute.
You know yourself so well!

No thanks. And don't come over.

We've got more than enough home-grown-wacko-conspiracy-theorists here.

We don't need no steenkin' British imports.

How come 1500 are held in internment without charge?

Reading the Guardian again huh?

I think we have something like 5 million in camps during the summer ...

There our youth learn various skills like archery, canoeing and earn merit badges for doing same ...

You know that the political spectrum is a circle, right?

The nuts on the left and the kooks on the right meet around the back at the 180 mark.

They have the same paranoid conspiracy theories. They just blame each other for them.

I call 'em "backsiders".

They aren't American citizens.

F 'em all. Let God sort 'em out.

[Alas]

Well like Poobah pointed out, it was their third attempt to serve the warrant. That casts a different light on it in a way, but no I really can't get used to the idea of police disguised as teens or street workers, or police swat teams, seems like overkill to me and I know I don't live it everyday and they have their own perspective. But it seems to me that this could lead to the death of an innocent person somehow. It just feels wrong.

What happened about the BS about seeing a judge within 24 hours?

Can you say: "Rights bestowed upon the citizens?"

We recently had bills pushed through our congress that allows 'illegals' to be held for a week for quesioning - after which an 'illegal' is processed for deportation or Soylent Green Proccessing depending on the toss of a dice ...

Here's a tissue.
