Title: Where is the support $$ for Special Ops for the Sheriff's Office

If the board of Supervisors truly were backing Sheriff Dever they would find
a way to purchase appropriate firearms to the County Level Special Ops teams!
The funds could be found if the Board of Supervisors were more fiscally
prudent they could certainly make it happened. Get someone on the ball & seek
appropriate grant funding so that NO deputies will be receiving pot shots
from across the border! The violence has gotten to be so bad that there have
been rounds of bullets crossing from Juarez, MX & El Paso, TX. We have areas
just as close in proximity here in AZ. What will happen if someone is killed
by stray bullets? El Paso, TX has had rounds hit the campus of UTEP & the
City Administration buildings. Pressure is needed for Obama, Pelosi,
Giffords, Reid, McCain, Grijalva & Kyle. Enough IS enough! Back off of AZ
SB1070 immediately judge Bolton & Federal DOJ; this law suit is really
frivolous & not warranted. We don’t need another rancher or other innocent
victims murdered again!

Title: Sheriff Dever

It’s good to see that Sheriff Dever and the Sheriff of Pinal County stand up
to these issues. The liberal Sheriff of Pima County may find himself out of a
job if he continues with his present approach. The voters are becoming very
unhappy with him.
