pj--People do not know their neighbors any more. When I was a kid growing up in Colorado Springs, our family knew every family on the block. Do many people reading this know maybe more than their next door neighbor let alone the rest of the block??
Mess with drugs/dealing/trafficing, whatever happens to you, you brought upon yourself. For someone totally distanced from the scene to blame the neighborhood is just a self-serving attempt to pass judgement.
Not surprising, I think we know to whom you were referring.

What does not knowing your neighbors have to do with spotting criminal activities in your neighborhood? Nothing.
The local police can tell you what to watch for. And you are not being a tattletale when you report criminals for their criminal activities.
And there it is no crime to wave at police officers letting them know you appreciate it when they patrol your neighborhood.

The only people crying about crime sweeps are criminals or the people that support criminal behavior.

PJ if you're going to call me out do it with a sense of pride and stop being a wuss. Boohoo sissy lala. You are nothing more then a whiny crybaby. Your recall effort has lost it's luster and you cry over it. You go as far as to advertise the recall website hoping other whiners will follow suit. The biggest problem in this country are the people that continue to cry about everything, hey like you. People are responsible for their own neighborhoods. DMG is dead wrong when he thinks it doesn't matter if you know your neighbors or not. That is another problem with people these days. They are too self absorbed in their own little lives. If they let drug dealers in and don't do anything, they get everything that comes with it. If that includes people (not the Mexican Military)doing home invasions then that's the spoils of letting your neighborhood fall into decline. It's time people stand up for themselves and take their neighborhoods back. It's simple really. Drug dealer sets up shop molotov cocktails take drug dealer out of neighborhood. Don't wait for the cops take care of it yourselves and stop crying, hey again like you. And for the record the only thing I've said about Arpaio's supposed "crime suppression sweeps" is that it IS racial profiling(see latest lawsuit). Not once have I called you or any other person on this site a racist or bigot. But if the sheet fits wear it. Next time you don't have to call me "a myfox blogger" call me DADDY.

See my above post for self solution. It only takes a few seconds to take out that very same "store". Now stop whining you sound like PJ.

I wasn't whining, I was telling it like it is. You may find comfort in taking someone out, myself, I don't share your penchant for murder.

Tweety, you actually get it. The police have their hands tied, and since "headquarters" hushed this case from the media, who knows whether or not neighbors reported anything about that house. C2G kudos to you.

RD as for liberals calling names, you showcase my point. Now about that molotov cocktail. Where are you from? Never mind, I really don't want to know. Just more insanity from the radical left winglettes. You promote burning and murdering someone without proof (very KKKish by the way), but how dare a sheriff stop someone with a broken tail light.

RDJVZ i have something for you. Sure you can take care of it yourself but then if your caught you will get in trouble. And when i say caught i mean by the the drug dealers they are some of the worst scum on the planet. They have no conscience and they will kill someone without batting an eye. Also the blogs are here to bring up issues i have yet to hear someone complain on this forum.
And thank you Pheonixjane for bringing up the issue. And in the last year for those of you who do not know. the feds have brought in so many agents From FBI, BATFE, and several other agencies because of the drug problem here in Arizona.

AND one more thing those of you who rely solely on the police forget about it they can't do much. They either have their hands tied behind their backs or don't want to help.

Video is the best weapon used today-

Caught on tape is the best evidence to provide the police. Video may not always hold water when 5 cops are kicking and beating the BLEEP out of someone behind a cruiser but it will get the guy arrested and convicted that walks onto your land and vandelizes your property.

You know Call2Glory the beating you are making a crude remark about was not a bunch of cops doing wrong.
They had followed or chased that drugged up criminal at high speeds at times for many miles through neighborhoods full of innocent people. To include children.
Now the tape used to make the police look bad was only at the end of the chase. Police at that time were instructed to use none lethal force until the suspect stops resisting. If you watch the tape each time the suspect laid down on the ground the officers stopped their none lethal force and backed off. Each time the suspect attempted to get up they reapplied none lethal force until the suspect ceased resisting. It sounds mean but then again they were not dealing with a nice person. Now do I want a police force that acts like goons? When it comes to dealing with dangerous drugged up or drunk criminals, dang right I do.
Same goes for criminals in my neighborhood. Do I want them to feel safe from the police force? No. Should I help the police gather the information needed to arrest and convict them? Yes.

DMG2 Thank you for your response. I had a drug (Herion) house in my neighborhood & some residents wanted to use a little gasaline to solve the problem. I talked them out of it & by going through my CAO (Community Action Officer) & other city agencies it took 2 years to get them out of my block watch area. (the dealers now have a 480 area code phone #.
A homeownes association Is forming their own block watch. I live in a apt community & get a consession on my rent.
The next block watch training is in Sept. Call your local PPD for time & Location.
