Arpaio Rejects Napolitano’s Safer Border Claim

“Given the level of danger posed by the smugglers, deputies and qualified armed posse volunteers including the SWAT team will be equipped to respond on the ground with M-16s and other firearms including the Sheriff’s 50-caliber machine gun,”

I saw this in a segment of a Spanish language news program this afternoon. The sound was turned down when I saw the machine gun right after a clip of Arpaio. I got the remote and turned it up to catch the drift and I still couldn't hear it because some present objected to the Spanish language got rude and loud (wasn't at my house, haven't a clue as to why it was on - no one was watching it and it wasn't the crowd for it).

I thought the belt fed, tri pod mounted machine gun was a propaganda shot, evidently it's real. I've never known that a police department could have a machine gun.
