David Spade comes through for the Phoenix Police Department. Spade use to live there, and after hearing that the police were forced to buy their own rifles, he donated a little jack to buy some weaponry:
Phoenix Police Sgt. Alan Hill says the rifles will be given to patrol officers and that the agency was grateful for the gifts.
“These guys need to be able to do their jobs and I am just happy I could help,” Spade said in a statement released by his publicist.
The Phoenix Police Department is outgunned, mainly because of the Mexican drug cartels presence in the city. Earlier this year, the drug cartels carried out a hit in Phoenix with what were suspected former members of the Mexican military.
Cato at Liberty, where I found this story, suggests this wouldn’t be an issue if we were not fighting a losing battle in the War on Drugs. That’s possible, but Cato is also an open borders advocate.
If we secured our borders the way we should, this wouldn’t be that big of an issue either.
