If anyone has any doubt about the drug violence we face or the border being secure this should make you think again. I wonder how many of the suspects are going to turn out to be illegal or somehow affiliated with the drug gangs.
I suspect that the house was being used as some type of drug house. Fortunately the police arrived in time. Hopefully Phoenix PD will get more rifles into their officers hands.
These style home invasions are all to common here in Phoenix. It use to be that you were safe as long as you werent part of the smuggling trade, but now even normal robbery crews are using this tactic.
I think the higher ups in the dept are realizing how beneficial it is for patrol to have rifles. Its gotten a lot better since I have been on.
Not uncommon either. Usually they wear something that looks somewhat official at first glance. Watching some video of sting operations around here, one of the guys was wearing the Female Body Investigator t shirt and was screaming “DEA” as they entered the house.
