polygamy and the cops in AZ
I think i was watching primetime and they had a special on polygamy. They showed this small town in colorado city and the cops would haul the woman who didnt listen to thier husbands to to mental institutions. They said that the had a state police official come into clean up the town.I guess polygamy runs rampid and the police dont do anything. The only mormans we see around here are when they knock on your door. Any AZ cops/citizens here have any imput into what is going on in your state.Is this normal, should I move to Az???

I've never heard of this??
Do you remember the town name?"If anything worthwhile comes of this tragedy, it should be the realization by every citizen that often the only thing that stands between them and losing everything they hold dear... is the man wearing a badge." -- Ronald Reagan, in the wake of the deaths of 4 CHP troopers in the Newhall Incident, 1970

Correction: Two of their police officers were decertified in 2005:

Interesting in that the police department has multi-state jurisdiction and certification as a matter of course...

Whats that mean?Being the best is not what always counts. What counts is always trying your best.
Remember who you are, and where you came from. That way you never get a big head.
May those that lost their lives in 9-11 RIP, for the things you did not many could do. You left so many behind so that you could save so few. For now we stand strong as one, and will not look back till the fight is done. (me)

A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

This is what I found about its multi-state jurisdiction;
The Colorado City police force also serves the adjacent polygamous community of Hildale, Utah. None of the police department's officers, however, is certified to act as a peace officer in Utah.

Stereo? Those idiots have several wives. Try bitching in THX surround sound.
That would be fun for about a week."We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

The other part of this is that they kick out all the younger men becuase the numbers don't work. If every older guy has a bunch of wives then the young men are going to compete.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft. -

There used to be a town down there called Johnson City that was also a hive of polygamy a few decades ago. I don't know if the problem still exists there or not. I think in the early 50's there was a raid on it by Arizona police. The raid ended up not changing anything. There are some real nutcases down there.
