It's pretty big news here in Phoenix:
http://www.azcentral.com/news/artic...ershot0919.html
Phoenix police Officer Nick Erfle survived two bouts of cancer to put back on his uniform and patrol the city's streets. On Tuesday, a jaywalker shot him in the face and killed him.
"He's a hard charger. Even though he had a serious illness, he came back to work the streets as soon as he could," Sgt. Joel Tranter said. "This will affect the officer's family and the Phoenix Police Department forever. . . . It will always be a loss."
The gunman, an illegal immigrant who had been deported last year, fled after shooting Erfle, commandeering a stopped car at gunpoint and ordering the motorist to drive. About an hour later, a Phoenix police tactical team surrounded Erik Jovani Martinez, 22, on a west Phoenix street and shot him dead as he pointed a gun at the hostage. The hostage was not hurt.
"The city of Phoenix, the citizens of Phoenix have lost another hero in our community," Assistant Phoenix Police Chief Michael Frazier said, announcing Erfle's death. "He died a hero doing the job he loved doing most."
Erfle was the second Phoenix police officer killed since July and the third Valley officer killed this year. He was married with two children and had a large extended family.
"This is another tragic day for the citizens of Phoenix. We have lost one of our family," said Dave Siebert, the city's vice mayor. "This has happened way too many times in the city of Phoenix. . . . He was one of our finest."
Martinez, who had three children, was a gang member with a history of drug abuse, police say. He was convicted of theft in 2004 and served a short stint in prison in 2006. Immigration officials confirmed he had been deported in March 2006.
A DEADLY MORNING
Police say Erfle, 33, and Officer Rob Rodarme were patrolling in a two-man car around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday when they saw three people jaywalking across 24th Street near Pinchot Avenue, interfering with traffic.
The two officers stopped the three, a man and two women, on Pinchot to talk to them and asked for identification. Police rarely issue citations for jaywalking, telling people instead to just cross at a safer spot in the future, Tranter said.
The man didn't have identification but gave officers a name and birth date that Erfle ran through a police computer. That search turned up a misdemeanor warrant for shoplifting out of Tucson.
Police would later find out the man hadn't given his real name. Martinez likely used an alias because he was trying to hide the fact he had felony warrants for aggravated assault and false imprisonment, stemming from a 2006 domestic-violence incident.
But the officers didn't know any of that and tried to arrest him on the misdemeanor warrant.
That's when Martinez shoved Erfle to the ground, pulled a gun and fired multiple times. Police said it all happened in a matter of seconds.
"There was three shots, and there was a pause, and then one more shot," said Bob Newnum, who lives nearby.
Rodarme ran after the fleeing suspect but couldn't return fire because the area was too crowded, Tranter said.
Police flooded into the area. Newnum said Erfle's body was facedown across a sidewalk, with his feet partly in the street. His partner was kneeling over Erfle, cursing.
"It's a shame," Newnum said. "I'm all choked up. I'm a real admirer of the police force. They go above and beyond all the time, and when one of them get hurts, it really bothers me."
Roger Elliott, who works nearby, came outside after a maintenance man told him to dial 911.
"Oh, my God, there was just blood all over the place," Elliott said. "I can't even describe it. I've never seen anything like it."
"There was no movement at all. . . . I'm sure he was dead."
Elliott said it took three officers to pull Rodarme away from his partner. Paramedics pumped on Erfle's chest before whisking him away in an ambulance.
"It was just a feeling I will never, ever forget," Elliott said. "I just cannot believe it. . . . It's such a stupid thing."
After the shooting, the assailant ran to the intersection of 24th Street and Thomas Road, where he carjacked the sedan. Witnesses were able to give police a description of the vehicle and a license plate.
One hour later, a tactical officer in an unmarked car spotted the stolen vehicle with a passenger matching the suspect's description. Officers began a covert surveillance of the vehicle and managed to box it in near 27th Avenue and McDowell Road.
The suspect raised his gun to the hostage, and an officer fired through a window once, killing him, Detective Bob Ragsdale said.
The two women did not flee after Erfle was shot. They were questioned by police and were cooperative, Tranter said. Police don't anticipate filing any charges against the women.
A LIFE CUT SHORT
Erfle had been an officer for eight years. He was pronounced dead at 9:30 a.m.
In Erfle's north Phoenix neighborhood Tuesday night, Tiana Iannuzzi, 17, tearfully remembered the officer as a playful and patient family man who never raised his voice. Iannuzzi baby-sat for Erfle's two sons, ages 3 and 5, and said the officer was "a great guy."
Erfle had twice battled testicular cancer.
"We miss him a lot," said Tiana's mother, Carmella Iannuzzi. "He was just so strong during his cancer treatment. It's just very sad. He was just an all-around good guy."
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon was vacationing in Hawaii when he heard of the officer's death and was trying to make arrangements to get back to the city.
He issued a statement, saying, "Once again, a hero has died too young."
"He and his wife were still making the plans all young couples make," Gordon said.
"Today, they are left with too few memories and too much heartache. I share the grief of a caring community and continue to pray for his family."
Earlier in the day, Virginia Roper, who owns Amy's Beauty Salon on 24th Street, said she heard the police cars swarming the area and figured something serious must be happening.
Her eyes welled when she heard Erfle had been killed.
"I feel sorry for his family," said Roper, whose son-in-law is a Chandler police officer.
"They work so hard, and their life is always on the line," she said. "It's just very sad. Very, very sad."
Gary Dubay watched the aftermath from the parking lot of Phoenix Bicycle, where he works.
"I don't know how to react to something like that," Dubay said. "He was just stopping those people, and all of a sudden that breaks out. It's pretty crazy."
A SERIES OF TRAGEDIES
This has been a particularly violent year for Valley police officers.
Glendale police Officer Anthony Holly was shot and killed during a traffic stop in February. Phoenix police Officer George Cortez Jr. was killed in July after responding to a call about a bad check.
And now, just two months later, Erfle is dead.
"This just illustrates how dangerous police work is," Tranter said.
"You can contact someone for anything, a speeding ticket, jaywalking, walking down the sidewalk. What initially may be perceived as a simple contact, you could be dealing with a dangerous suspect."
Erfle was described as a well-respected, hard-working and dedicated officer who didn't allow his fight with cancer to sideline him.
Tranter said the officer even turned down a light-duty desk job to get back to patrol.
"He's a police officer. Rather than have a non-enforcement office assignment, he chose to get back in uniform and back on the street as quickly as he could," Tranter said.
"He will be greatly missed." |

It's newsworthy because a cop was murdered. The "immigrant" tag is not newsworthy because immigrants, legal or illegal, do not commit crimes disporportionately to any other demographic in America.
Your characterization of the story is funny because stupid racist pussies who are afraid of brown people are always funny.
That's reality.

NY State just passed a law allowing illegals a way to get a driver license. :)
They just check a box on the application that says they are ineligible to get a social security number.., and viola, they have their license.
And we thought security was an issue. :rolleyes: |

I didn't write the story (did you read it?). And it is factually accurate to say "This illegal immigrant killed a cop." I don't fear brown people either...just the ones who shoot cops in the face to avoid a jaywalking ticket.
It is important because this piece of shit was already deported last year and had a criminal record a mile long. |

Really!
I guess you can excuse the rampant theft of social security numbers and all the drug runners and dealers too!
Ahh, fuck borders all together, that's so yesterday man. :rolleyes: |

Just ignore the typical liberal, knee jerk response that you are racist or scared because you posted a news-worthy story about illegals. |

NOW WE ARE TAILORING OUR EDUCATION TOWARDS THE ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS
Some Oregon schools adopting Mexican curriculum
Associated Press
Thursday September 20, 2007
Some Oregon high schools are adopting Mexico's public school curriculum to help educate Spanish-speaking students with textbooks, an online Web site, DVDs and CDs provided free by Mexico to teach math, science and even U.S. history.
The Oregon Department of Education and Mexico's Secretariat of Public Education are discussing aligning their curricula so courses will be valid in both countries.
Similar ventures are under way in Yakima, Wash., San Diego, Calif., and Austin, Texas.
(Article continues below)
"Students come to us with such complex issues," said Tim King, director of Clackamas Middle College and Clackamas Web Academy, where a virtual course using Mexico's learning materials got started this week.
"We've had to change in order to fit into each school scene, become more complex and open ourselves up to new situations."
Oregon officials say the approach is intended as a supplement to keep students learning in Spanish while also gaining English skills.
Until now, Oregon school districts generally have relied on bilingual aides or used Spanish material different from the English material others are studying.
"That's not enough," said Patrick Burk, chief policy officer with the superintendent's office of the Oregon Department of Education. He said the idea is minimal disruption for immigrant Latinos.
"The availability of resources is astounding," said Burk, who flew to Mexico with Oregon curriculum officials in August to discuss making equivalency standards official. "We're able to serve the students so much better if we're working together."
Mexico has made its national curriculum available to communities across the U.S. since 2001 to encourage Mexican adults and youths to continue an education often abandoned back home due to limited resources.
"We wanted people to be aware that they have to study," said Patricia Ramos, the director of national affairs for Mexico's Institute for Adult Education and National Advisory of Education for Life and Work.
"You have to dare to study and make use of technology because that way, it will be easier to adapt to where you now live."
In other places, the curriculum was used to educate students' parents, rescue dropouts and even teach inmates. A program exists now at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn.
The program caught the attention of public schools such as Reynolds High School in Troutdale and Marshall Night School, an alternative school based at Marshall High School in Portland.
At Marshall, the material has been used in night school and may soon move into daytime classrooms.
At Reynolds, educators began using part of Mexico's curriculum to teach a Spanish literacy class.
Students learned punctuation and sentence structure in Spanish and then saw improvement in English progress, said Dale Bernardini, a teacher who handles the partnership for Reynolds School District.
This fall, textbooks, DVDs and Mexico's curriculum Web were introduced in Francisco Rico's math classroom at Reynolds.
"We're just ahead with all the materials," he said. "We have the Web site where students can do exercises ... they can learn through visual and audio. We were having trouble bringing something that would be familiar to their culture."
In Washington state, nearly 30 schools have already implemented Mexico's curriculum into the classrooms.
In Oregon, learning materials are free, but districts must pay for staff. So far, two computer servers supporting Mexico's Web site cost the state about $10,000 to install and about $2,200 annually to maintain.
One of the biggest challenges will be finding more Spanish-speaking instructors, said Burk of the Oregon Department of Education.
He said about 15 percent of Oregon students are Latino, compared with 2 percent of teachers. |

Where do you get your statistics on the crimes committed by illegal aliens? There's no state or county that is publishing that data.
America has its own homegrown murderers, rapists, burglars, etc,
Why should we import more? |

Immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born, study says
UCI study cites census data and crime statistics.
By MARLA JO FISHER
The Orange County Register
IRVINE - Immigrants are much less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans, according to a study released Monday by a UC Irvine professor for the Immigration Policy Center, based in Washington D.C.
UCI sociology professor Ruben Rumbaut, who has made a career studying immigration trends, found that immigrants of all national backgrounds were incarcerated at much lower rates than their American-born counterparts, according to the 2000 Census.
His study also described a precipitous drop in crime rates nationwide over the last 15 years — the same period during which immigration has been at all-time record high. "While immigration is going up, crime is going down," Rumbaut said. "I think it's important to get the facts out there."
Rumbaut co-authored the study with Harvard University professor Walter A. Ewing.
They reported that "the impression that immigration and criminality are linked" is not based in fact.
"Even as the undocumented population has doubled to 12 million since 1994, the violent crime rate in the United States has declined 34.2 percent and the property crime rate has fallen 26.4 percent," according to the report.
That crime drop was true even in cities with large immigrant populations such as Los Angeles or Miami, the report said.
According to the study, 3.5 percent of American-born men aged 18-39 were incarcerated in jails or prisons in 2000, compared to 0.7 percent of foreign-born men — five times higher.
The risk of incarceration went up significantly by the second or third generations of immigrants, according to the study.
John Keeley, spokesman for the Center for Immigration Studies, a DC-based think tank focused on immigration reform, refuted the results of the study and said there were problems with the census data for institutionalized people.
He also said that the children of immigrants posed a crime problem not considered in the statistics.
"That is something we intend to monitor in terms of gang activity and truancy," Keeley said.
