    On June 24, 2016, Deputy McGinnis was dispatched to a residence in Spring Valley, Arizona, regarding a report of an overdosed person inside the home. Upon arrival, Deputy McGinnis found a 22-year-old male subject barely conscious lying on the floor. Deputy McGinnis rolled the subject on his side and tried to ascertain what the subject had taken, but was not able to find out either from the residents or the subject himself. Medical personnel were asked to respond with urgency.

Deputy McGinnis then immediately started CPR and continued the life saving measures for about two and a half minutes until the arrival of Mayer Fire personnel. Ultimately, the subject regained a pulse and was transported to a medical facility where he recovered from what was later determined as a heroin overdose. His patrol supervisor, Sgt. Joshua Brazell, indicated that had Deputy McGinnis not performed CPR during the critical time between his arrival and that of medical personnel, it was foreseeable the subject could have died.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
