    Verde “Shop with a Cop” This Weekend!

    Cottonwood AZ (December 6, 2012) – This Saturday, December 8th, 2012, the annual Verde “Shop with a Cop” event is taking place in Cottonwood. This is the 10th year that law enforcement agencies from the Verde Valley have joined together to provide a special holiday shopping experience for area children. These children have been carefully selected with help from local schools and social service agencies. The goal of the “Shop with a Cop” program is to help families with needed financial assistance and to allow the kids to experience positive interaction with law enforcement officers. The day begins with breakfast for the children at the Cottonwood Police Department and a meet and greet with Santa at the Cottonwood airport. The children then join their selected officer in a patrol car ride-a-long with lights and siren. As a result, we would like to advise the community and motorists that a controlled police “parade” will take place at about 9am along Hwy 89A from about 6th Street to Highway 260, where it will conclude at Wal-mart. Sirens will most likely be heard as the vehicles approach Wal-mart.

    The Verde “Shop with a Cop” would like to thank the community for ten years of support of this worthwhile program!

    If you have any questions or comments, please contact “Shop with a Cop” coordinator Deputy Scott Reed at (928) 777-7253. Deputy Reed is also the Director of the Right-by-Kids program featuring the ever popular “Deputy Do-Right.” As a Law Enforcement Education Deputy, Deputy Reed and his staff conduct safety programs for schools and community groups throughout the year in Yavapai County. Please contact Deputy Reed for further information or to schedule a safety assembly for your school.

    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→
