William Cooper is Dead (my title)

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.

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.

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.

Officials say Cooper belongs to a militia movement and has published several articles in anti-establishment articles. He also reportedly has a Web site and on it, acknowledges there is an arrest warrant for him, but writes "Any attempt by federal government or anyone else to execute the unlawful arrest warrants will be met with armed resistances. Any person who attempts to kidnap our children will be shot upon discovery."

Notice he said "unlawful" arrest warrants and attempts to "kidnap" his children. I say good for him, what right does anyone have to execute unlawful arrest warrants and to kidnap our children? Do we roll over and let the authorities do whatever they please with our lives?

Here we go....things are moving even faster than many of us believed they would. Discredit all militias...brainwash the public to identify them as EVIL TERRORISTS and ANTI-GOVERNMENT when most are actually PRO-CONSTITUTION. Here we see the laying of groundwork for rounding up, imprisoning, disarming and killing militia members. And all they have to do is invent any story they desire and put it out on the sold-out monopoly press where most of America gets their news.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more and more militia-blaming propaganda.

Nice quote. Now why don't you post the next two paragraphs?

I wanna hear more about this 'agreement' Cooper had the inside track on concerning 'The Grays' ...

Can you provide a fill on this?
