| Two men opened fire on a marked patrol car Tuesday night, Phoenix police said. Police said the men fired at the two-man patrol car from a maroon Chevrolet Tahoe around 10:40 p.m. in west Phoenix. The officers followed the Tahoe about 5 miles before the men stopped the SUV and fled on foot into an apartment complex, police said. Officers set up a perimeter in the area and used K-9 units to search for the men. Police said both men were taken into custody, though one was bitten by a police dog. The men initally gave police false names, but were later identified as Juan Beltran Nunez, 29, and Ricardo Hurtado, 24. Neither of the officers in the patrol car was injured, but police said they found bullet holes in the hood and passenger-side roof of the car. Police said they recovered the Tahoe and a rifle. Nunez was arrested on two counts of aggravated assault, possession of dangerous drugs and unlawful flight. Both men were charged with being prohibited possessors of a firearm and were placed under holds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I am truly surprised that they were taken alive. |

| #6 Eventually, there is going to be a massacre on our side of the border. Most likely some Mexican army types will slaughter a bunch of US policemen, and despite the desperate attempts of the US government to hush it up, it will become known. |

| #5 "Police said both men were taken into custody, though one was bitten by a police dog." Poor doggie - hope its shots are up to date. Wouldn't want it to catch anything from criminal cooties. |

| #4 If you looked at the gun camera video from the Apache you see what happens when we get serious. But so far, you're not, cf. the several instances of HMG-armed military cars venturing several kilometers INTO the US territory to protect drug runners, and even on occasion facing down local police and having them back off. |

| #3 Cop elimination is their current favorite sport. Apparently, they're getting the right tools for the right jobs, .50 browning rifles for police cars, and 5.7mm pistols for the soft body armors. |

| #2 ...were placed under holds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Surprise anyone? Only that the MSM would even post the information. That's why the link goes to a local news station. |

| #1 True, very surprised they are still sucking our air. No doubt cartel thugs who are starting to operate on this side like they do down south. Cop elimination is their current favorite sport. What's needed and is available on the border is gunships. If you looked at the gun camera video from the Apache you see what happens when we get serious. I guarantee that a couple of episodes of shredding a few Mex Federales/ drug runners would clarify the issue in Mex all the way down to Columbia. Just takes a President willing to defend our border. Which we do not have. |
