Paragould, Arkansas Police to Check Everyone's ID in 2013

Huffington post is Liberal controlled. Truth escapes them most of the time. Savanah and CoachRoach have chased this subject into many corners. Since JF Kennedy our presidents have been by large part slected for us. You ever hear of hegelian Dialectic? I would suggest both of you study the teachings of Saul Alinsky for his greatest Student was Barak Hussein Obama. http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/05/dialectic.htm

Rahm Emanuel was another of his better students. Now when arguing war as well as immigration one must understand the plans of those behind Presidents.

Our (10) Bill of Rights are either under attack or are now useless. Our only cantact to the Original federal Constitution is with the supreme Court. Today the rights are missunderstood by the American people. But to understand what has happened one must be due dilligent and study the causes of our Republics demise. How can i introduce to you the meaning of this republic as it is supposed to stand,and how can i tell you of the miss uses of it By a Federal government who has been constantly guilty of spiriting its nature away?

you live a lie of a supposed Democracy when in fact you are now in a hard fascist state.Corporations control your government. Thier prime purpose you can read in the book 1984. Wars that these people fight using our soldiers are for the control of a world for them not us. Oil,Food,Medicine,and others likeenergy all controlled so that the people are under these Corporate entities.

immigration is meant to decrease your potential to aquire work as well as increrase our Welfare debt. the removal of key enterprizes. Our War effort now made in China tags placed on them. Our food from south america,and our fuel from abroad when in this nation we have fields of food potential and fields of oil 5 times that of the North African oil fields. the plan for Oil Cartel to own most of the Oil reserves in the world and the destroying of any ability of the people to invent new ways to provide that energy.

A Police State forming which now in most municipalities can whisk anyone they want to a secret location and murder them if they so please. Military and police were set upon first AL-CIA-da then the Muslim Brotherhood; both of these groups set up in the 1990's for use by the CIA. today that same action is starting to be used against the people who want and own fire Arms And the new move by this Federal government to take that ability way.

Look at England and Australia. Guns Crimes have been supplanted with other tools of killing ; knives crowbars wrenches as well as illegal guns and the people cannot protect themselves. This will become the USA exceptonly worse for Jihadist camps have been allowedinto this country WND news 2011, the constant use of interracial irritants used by Bushes Party as well as obamas party. in this case Republican Democrate isnt one inch different from each other. The 14th Amendment referred to was for blacks to recieve Federal citizenship. but what it did in time was to create federal Citizenship for all people. this is not good when you looking at a building Tyranny. All citizens were to be State Citizens. And when you hear 'I wnat my Constitutional rights' are you asking for the bill of rights in the states or the federal Document which was not supposed to contain them as it enumenrate no laws to the citizens? all you have to do is to study Barron v Mayor of Baltimore 32 US 243 (1833). In District of Columbia v Heller in the court of appeals in 2008, the court ruled that Heller had a second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. as well as rights esteablished by the Bill of rights or Next all should examine United States v Cruikshank 92 US 542 If you need clarification i can do that .

I've lived here since 1963. All this is about drugs.no specific kind.Pain pills,meth,even alcohol. The people committing the crimes are out of drugs,steal people's belongings,and then either go to pawn shops or actually trade the stolen items for drugs.Stolen metal is taken to the scrap yard for cash. I've had my house broken in to,I've had lawn furniture and my kids swingset stolen,and I have friends who have had copper and aluminum stolen from their property. The police ,even with a martial law presence ,will not stop this. I have taken photographic evidence of things being stolen out of my yard,hired someone to find out who the person was,gave the police the guys nickname ,his real name and his address. He has never been arrested.These people band together,use stolen IDs,lie for each other,pay innocent and unknowing people to pawn or return stolen items to stores for refunds.This started back when people in this town were so busy having affairs,not caring where their kids were,trying to sta6 afloat in the economy here,basically the same things that happen everywhere in the US. I can tell you too ,when probation and parole officers are at parties doing drugs and get seen by their clients,and have to keep their mouths shut or lose their jobs,does nothing but help the criminals. When public defenders will take bribes to get these people off with a slap on the wrist.When doctors can say their kids who have had car accidents that kill people while the kid was clearly under the influence of drugs but his dad has friends that say he has narcolepsy,well you get the picture.The crimes are on so many levels,the police here for the most part are the good guys,but they can only make an arrest.After that,its out of their hands. The FBI is what's needed here,not martial law. The FBI needs to weed out the criminals in the justice system, before the police have ANY chance of doing their job.

I understand your point of view. I also understand your not emotionally involved with this town or any of the people in it. The 90 year old man that was robbed in his home and then shot and killed as the thieves were leaving wasn't you father, grandfather, neighbor or even a friend. I also understand that you don't know any of the men and women on the police force that are willing to lay down on your child and take a bullet protecting them and your not the one that has to knock on a door at 2 am and explain to a wife how her husband was shot and killed as he was getting of work for the $4 in his wallet. I truely understand your point of view, It's easy for me to tell you how and what should be done in your town in Tennessee, I dont have a connection with anyone there. We are a small town and we care for our neighbors and friends, I don't consider a police officer coming up to me on the street and talking to me, harrassing because it's a face we all see from time to time and his tone in his voice isn't threatening at all, and the smile on his face lets me know he is on my side. I know the men and women in uniform in this town, would take that bullet meant for another.

Dear Notsofast -

First of all, I appreciate you breaking down the facts into nice pieces of rationalization so us slow folks can grasp the real meaning of this article. Whether or not crime is out of control does not mean police can walk up to citizens walking down the street and demand to know why they are there. Period. This is a violation of our rights. You can't sugarcoat it. There are legal ways and means to combat crime. How about when a homeowner is robbed, you take fingerprints and go after the thieves instead of telling homeowners to just file a police report and collect money from their insurance company. That would sure beat the current system of police doing nothing.

Also, police are suppose to be just that. Police. There shouldn't be a need for them to walk around in full military combat gear....with or without rifles. They shouldn't be "deployed" and in "combat." This isn't a war zone (yet). But also, the US Constitution states that the military should never be on US Soil - yet your words sound more like a Marine Corp than a police dept. Police shouldn't being doing traffic stops with rifles, tazers, handguns, handcuffs and who knows what else, hanging off their belts. Some of them have so much crap wrapped around their waist, they walk this a bear.

Police in Tennessee are fighting each other to pull over vehicles so they can take money. So, my respect for police, mayors, or anyone else who wants to tell me "how it's gonna be" is just is pretty low on the crap-o-meter. If I'm walking my dog at 2am, that is absolutely my business. If every single citizen got up at 2am, and went for a stroll, you'd have no one to protect, now would you? Don't feed us a bunch of rationalization and think we're gonna accept it. BTW, the mayor says the statistics prove this is called for...who the hell came up with the stats...the police and city hall?

And lastly, Americans need to stop allowing gang-bangers to run their neighborhoods. There are many, many real life cases that local neighborhoods took their own areas away from criminals, prostitutes, etc. Get together and video tape them, chase them off - do something. We are suppose to defend ourselves; yet, we've become this CALL 9-1-1 society thinking only cops can make a difference. We have the right to bare arms. Use it.

Thank you for letting me have my say.

"Armed Patrol" Clarifications

Recently, an article was written by the Paragould Daily Press regarding our Street Crimes Unit. Following the article's appearance, several questions and concerns have arisen from our citizens regarding the tactics and methods in which the unit would be operating under. At this time, we want to clarify the questions and concerns that are currently circulating in the community.

First, let's look at the purpose of the Street Crimes Unit. The purpose of this unit is to increase police presence in high crime rate areas of the city. These areas are identified by examining reports generated from calls for service, and also from citizens who call the Police Department or City Hall with safety concerns in their neighborhoods. Once an area has been identified as a high crime neighborhood, the select group of officers will saturate the area in an attempt to curb the criminal behavior that is plaguing that particular neighborhood. Officers will accomplish this in a variety of different methods. Officers will be working to identify residents in the affected area so that we can better serve our affected neighborhoods. Most often, this identification process will be nothing more than making contact with a subject, handing them a business card, and asking if they live in the area and if there's anything we can do for them. During hours in which crime seems to be more prevalent (i.e. between the hours of 11pm and 5 am), our process will become more stringent. We will be asking for picture identification. We will be ascertaining where the subject lives and what they are doing in the area. We will be keeping a record of those we contact. The record keeping is two-fold: First, we want to try to keep from over-lapping making contact with the same people multiple times. Once we know where people live, or that they always walk in that particular neighborhood, then we'll not need to repeat that contact. We will not be harassing citizens. Secondly, by documenting those of the criminal element, we have a record of that contact and where/when it occurred. An example of where this will be helpful is if a crime (i.e. burglary, breaking or entering) is reported the next morning. We then have a list of "go-to" suspects to question regarding that incident or incidents.

Another issue that seems to be of concern is the mention of Street Crimes Unit officers carrying AR-15 rifles with them during these patrols. To give a little background information, several of our patrol officers already carry AR-15 rifles in their patrol vehicles. The AR-15 and police work is nothing new. Our Street Crimes Unit will not be wearing them constantly. That would be impractical. As we have stated in our meetings, our main purpose of mentioning this was to prepare our residents in the event that they saw an officer armed with one. When our officers deploy into areas where there is the potential for contacting several subjects in a high-crime area, that is when the potential deployment of AR-15's will occur.

Many citizens, through various media outlets, have expressed a concern about the police "violating rights" or "violating the Constitution". We have to abide by the same rules, regulations, and laws that our citizens do. We are not out to violate anyone's rights. Once we have an area that shows a high crime rate or a high call volume, it is our duty and obligation to find out why this is occurring and what we can do to prevent the trend from continuing. Therefore, identifying subjects in those problem areas help us to solve crimes, and hopefully to prevent future crimes.

In closing, the purpose of the Town Hall meetings is to inform you, the citizen, of a potential solution to combat the increase of crimes, both property related and violent. Understand, crime is fluid and ever-changing. We as law enforcement are forced to change with it. We are making an effort to educate our citizens via the Town Hall meetings about crime statistics in each area of town, crime prevention tips, and the Street Crimes Unit. At each meeting, we welcome questions and/or suggestions. Unfortunately, only 100 residents have taken advantage of the two opportunities we have given thus far. Our hope is for you to attend one of the remaining two meetings this week to hear our plans and so that we may get your input.

This town is 95% White There will be no hue and cry. This is not profileing or racism. Nothing to see here folks move along, move along. Actually, in theory I would have no problem were it just a presence, and the polite asking of questions, but I have never seen that happen except for the security around the elites. Around common folk, cops forget their manners. Most departments are trained to push your buttons to get you to raise your voice or become "agitated" then they taze your a$$!
