Steven Seagal, Sheriff Raid Valley Home In Tank

PHOENIX -- Sheriff Joe Arpaio rolled out the tanks to take down a man suspected of cockfighting.

West Valley residents in the neighborhood are crying foul after armored vehicles, including a tank, rolled into their neighborhood to make the bust.

* VIDEO: Steven Seagal, Sheriff Raid Valley Home In Tank

Neighbor Debra Ross was so worried she called 911 and went outside where a nearby home had its windows blown out, was crawling with dozens of SWAT members in full gear, armored vehicles and a bomb robot.

“When the tank came in and pushed the wall over and you see what's in there, and all it is, is a bunch of chickens,” Ross said.

In a massive show of force on Monday, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant and arrested the homeowner, Jesus Llovera, on charges of suspected cockfighting.

Llovera was alone in the house at the time of the arrest, and he was unarmed.

“I think taxpayers should be shocked,” said Robert Campus, Llovera’s attorney. Campus said he believes the operation costs tens of thousands of dollars.

Deputies had no probable cause to believe Llovera was armed or dangerous, according to Campus.

Campus said he believes the entire scene was basically a stage, to help actor Steven Seagal’s TV show, “Lawman.”

Seagal was riding in the tank.

The Sheriff’s Department has entered into a contract with Seagal and part of that contract gives Seagal carte blanche to go along with the sheriff as he arrests people.

Thousands of dollars in damages were made to the property and 115 birds were euthanized on the spot.

Llovera was convicted of a misdemeanor last year of attending a cockfight and has no history of owning weapons.

Yet the sheriff’s office said they had reasons to believe Llovera might be armed.

“We're going to err on the side of caution. We're going to make sure that we have the appropriate amount of force in case we do run into anything like that,” said Sgt. Jesse Spurgin.

this isn't racist exactly but it is just wtf

does the AZ legislation ever, like, do their jobs and pass laws that are actually legal and can be implemented

lol?

we're doomed

ohhhh my goddddd

wow i just

though i bet among conservative AZers the real feeling is "illegal except in the case of rape, incest, or if your girl gets knocked up by a black or mexican or something".

and the principled life people wanted to make a stand against that. very dredd-scott-code-word kind of thinking...

It's not even that the thing being legislated against IS A THING! It's just to make doctors need ANOTHER piece of legal paperwork done before the procedure ca proceed. And provide extra basis for arrest and persecution, if that turns out to be convenient for anyone.

*can proceed

lol'ing at the potential responses to any "Reason for abortion" form fields

"baby daddy is a Republican"

"my vagina was drunk"

good god that state

It would be kind of amazing if this all ended up in Baja Arizona actually happening

That a woman should have to state a reason for abortion to anyone aside from herself, her healthcare provider, or her god (or w/e) is the most insidious idea here, and likely the wedge they're trying to drive.

Shit is private, full stop.

god hates abortions tho next argument please

oh shit :(

"to piss off Jesus"

"I'm afraid my baby might be Chinese."

gosh didn't see this coming

lol idiots

Yep. Arizona state legislature is basically paid to write political fan-fiction and waste the time of the courts, as far as I can tell. They certainly haven't solved any of the states' deep financial problems, or our water issues, or all the dirty as fuck old coal plants we should fix up/replace...

But hey, if its offensively divisive immigration laws you want, they gotcha covered!

I thought yall lived in NM?

Not racist per se, but definitely.

oops, should read "but definitely bullshit"

are you fucking kidding me, that is monstrous. want to start a fund to pay for people who just want to visit their loved ones but don't have 25 bucks to spare. can't fucking believe what assholes people are.

like I mean I know ppl are assholes but even still they can come up with some "did you for sure know how big an asshole I was?" shit

didn't think they could top rotten bologna sandwiches in their pink underwear desert tent quarters, but here it is, topped

well tbf remember when jesus said "i was in prison, and you paid $25 and visited me"

it really feels like nothing could spike my sympathy for prisoners more than the succession of bs legislation, & the erosion of prisoner rights, over the last year
