    logo_ycsoCamp Verde AZ (February 24, 2016) – On February 14, 2016, at approximately 7:30 PM, a YCSO deputy was called out regarding 6 kayakers stranded on the Verde River.  The group of 6 (5 male/1 female) began their float at Beasley Flat and were going to pull out at Gap Creek, but missed the opportunity and continued down river approximately 1.5 miles and were lost.  Their current coordinates were obtained from the 911 call.  The Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team’s (YCSRT) Backcountry Unit was called as well as a DPS Ranger helicopter.  YCSRT Backcountry members hiked approximately 2.5 miles by trail to reach the subjects at approximately 1 AM the next day.  

    None of the kayakers had adequate clothing, footwear, food, or water and were very wet and cold. They had started a fire to keep warm. Backcountry members provided dry clothing to the group. Unfortunately they did not have appropriate footwear so the Backcountry team was not able to hike the subjects out.  DPS Ranger arrived and eventually transported all subjects to Beasley Flat where Fire/Medical personnel were standing by to evaluate and later release the subjects.  DPS Ranger then returned to the Backcountry team for a well-deserved airlift to base camp and the operation concluded at 3:30 AM.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
