Don't be surprised if police in Arizona seem particularly friendly.  And what's wrong with that, bringing the police closer to the community and generating camaraderie and good will?  Happy police.  Happy public.  Everybody's happy.  Especially anyone in Arizona with dark skin, who speaks Spanish or maybe just has an accent, who wears work boots and stands on a corner.  They may well be the special friends of cops.

When Governor Jan Brewer signed Arizona's illegal alien bill into law, it was the dawn of a new age of friendliness.
