Steven Seagal Conducts Training on School Security in Arizona
Invited by Joe Arpaio, "America's Toughest Sheriff"
FOUNTAIN HILLS, Arizona (Reuters) - Action film star Steven Seagal, who racks up big body counts in his on-screen battles with bad guys, took on a new role on Saturday, training posse volunteers for controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio in how to use guns to protect schools in shooting incidents.
Arpaio, who styles himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff," enlisted Seagal to train his Maricopa County posse members at a school in Fountain Hills, a suburb northeast of Phoenix, with children used as stand-ins for scared students.

Hire a wife beating bigamist to teach kids self defense? HaHaHaHaHaHa!
What's wrong with bigamy?
Does this asshole really think he is a cop just because he played one on TV? WTF?
The sad thing is the cops seem to think he's a cop too, because they saw him on TV.
Hell he's probably the one who taught LA PD to shoot. Were those assholes who shop up those ladies in a truck firing while doing chinese splits in the air upside down and in slow motion?
Well he did kill a man after kicking him onto a gate valve stem.... Or was that Van Dam?
