| Pinal Sheriff Needs Donations To Arm Deputies |
| 2010-08-04 |
| Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said his deputies are outmanned and outgunned when it comes to battling drug cartels. The Pinal County Justice Foundation is asking the public to donate money so that they can equip deputies with rifles. Babeu said the guns purchased with donations would go to first responders. The sheriff said they need to raise $150,000. A CBS 5 News investigation last November revealed the Mexican drug cartel relies heavily on smugglers from Arizona to stockpile their arsenal. That arsenal, officials said, is used in gun battles along the border. |

| #3 The Sheriff and his people are in the trenches feeling the strain. He is doing what any good leader would do. Getting his people all the support he can find for them. |

| #1 Maybe we could recycle some of the RPGs confiscated in Afghanistan or Iraq; send them to Arizona. C4 makes good IEDs. Are there not some BARs in storage in the military arsenal that could be sent to Arizona? On my taxes, can a box be provided to check that sends a dollar to Arizona Sheriffs? I'd rather do that than send a buck to the elections. |
