Via National Post:
PHOENIX — The self-proclaimed “America’s Toughest
Sheriff” is joining forces with action movie star Steven Seagal to train
volunteer armed posse members to defend Phoenix-area schools against
gunmen.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced the controversial plan in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting in December.
The exercise is planned for Saturday at a closed school site. Sheriff’s officers will act as shooters, and 25 teenagers will play the part of students during mock scenarios involving up to three gunmen.
The sheriff’s office says Seagal, best known for his roles in movies such as Above the Law and Under Siege, will lead training on hand-to-hand defence tactics, among other techniques, drawing from his expertise in martial arts.
I like Steven Segal even though he is a prima donna , and his show on A+E was a poor example of what not to do in L.E., but the guy is one hell of a instructor in Aikido, so it will be beneficial in that case.
I always wanted to spar with him, and compare his Aikdo to Korean Hapkido.
i wonder if he could kick my ass ? :)))))))
