This is a military 0.50 caliber weapon. It can shoot accurately over half a mile, with the right ammo, nearly a mile. How long will it be before they start paroling the streets in these wheeled, armored arsenals? Hey, if it cuts down on crime I'm for it. Well, as long as the right people get shot.
The Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio launched its 16th crime and immigration sweep in a stretch of desert in the southwestern U.S.-Mexico border, on Thursday.
Although the next crime suppression operation had been announced for July 29, Arpaio said the one-day sweep was executed sooner due to reports of many drug and immigrant smugglers activity through the Vekol Valley.
Arpaio ordered the deployment of a powerful belt-fed .50 caliber machine gun to be on site during the operation to ensure deputies' safety, as there have been recent reports of violence in the desolate desert areas.

By late Thursday night, sheriff's deputies said they had arrested 11 people, including seven of those being investigated for human trafficking. The rest were detained for outstanding warrants and traffic violations.
Seven human trafficking suspects and several on warrens. You would think this sweep would have gotten a bit more than that. I want a parade of a hundred drug dealers marched right down the middle of the street while citizens get to throw rotten fruit and vegetables at them while pointing and laughing.
That would be raciest. Wait a minute. I didn't say march the Mexican drug dealers and ignore the Scandinavian drug dealers. Throw them all in to one fair and comprehensive parade.
