Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West

An Arizona Sheriff has told citizens to arm themselves, that the police cannot protect them from Mexican drug traffickers illegally crossing the border.

Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West: “You farmers, I’m telling you right now, arm yourselves,” he said. “As they say the old story is, it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by six. Damn it, I don’t want to see six people carrying you.”
