Austin from our office went on a ride along with the Westbrook Village Posse in Peoria, AZ to learn more about all they do to serve our community. Thank you for all you do to keep Arizonans safe!
This community is near ours in Az. Great volunteers in that whole area. The Posse does a good job. Thanks for posting this. Not many people know of the posse and what it does. Keep posting Arizona people, activities and groups. I meant that for ‘Pat’ Troy, sorry🙏💕🙏 After Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After the Republican Congress let the ban expire in 2004, they shot up by 239%. We DON’T need to arm teachers we nee to BAN assault weapons again. There have been 331 school shootings since Columbine in 1999. The “pro gun” people have had 23 years to solve this issue but it’s just getting worse. From Columbine to Sandy Hook to Uvalde, TX, all the gunmen used semiautomatic AR-15 style weapons. 23 YEARS IS ENOUGH!!!! The GOP has no answers!!!! Many teachers are quitting rather than having to carry guns!!! If you still think the GOP has your best interests in mind, stay in fantasy land. Next time it may be your children or grandchildren!!!!!! As you attend the Nazi NRA Convention. Wow, the mad dog blue hair battalion and Kushner wanna be. So you attempted to turn a graduation ceremony into ta political rally. Then claim you’re a victim? And free speech wasn’t allowed.
Sweetie you clueless child, bless your heart. You keep politics from graduation ceremonies and church pulpits.
You deserve the heckling. Your votes in Congress are de-funding the police. Let's hope Peoria charged you for the ride. Watch Ted Cruz squirm while talking to a foreign reporter about mass shootings. It's quite different than getting softball questions on Hannity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BSc2dG5neY
