Actor Steven Seagal trains Arizona volunteer posse on school security techniques (controversial, weapons)

[Goodnight]

If this isn't an out of body experience I don't know what is, I see a movie in the making along the lines of Death Wish or Billy Jack. I mean the best you can do to train the posse is Steven Seagall, where is LaPierre, can't he help them out, after all this was his idea.

Arizona's self-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" enlisted the combat services of actor Steven Seagal to train a volunteer posse through a simulated school shooting on Saturday. The event was part of the sheriff's controversial plan of placing armed volunteers guard Phoenix-area schools

."Why would people complain about my posse being in front of schools to act as prevention?" Arpaio said. "I want everyone to know about it for the deterrence effect."

My favorite Seagal comment from a related Salon article is this:

“I’ve put hundreds of thousands if not millions of hours into my weapons training,” adding he would do “anything” to protect Arizona’s children.

For those doing the math, yes. A million hours is just over 114 years.

I mean where was Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, why settle for a B movie actor.

Calling Steven Seagal an actor is an insult even to the "actors wannabees" waiting tables in Hollywood!

You can laugh at his movies, but Seagal has
been a (LA) Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Deputy
for over twenty years. He didn't do it for the
publicity. Nobody knew about it until he did
the TV show. He is qualified to teach.
