This Week In…Steven Seagal
Fear is ubiquitous in communities across America due to the recent traumatic and horrific incidents that have occurred. These events have empowered townspeople everywhere to do everything possible to ensure their respective communities are safe.
In Maricopa County, Arizona, Joe Arpaio (“America’s Toughest Sheriff,” as he refers to himself) has taken on a new plan of action to make sure his county is both unthreatened and well prepared.
He has hired Steven Seagal to train them.
As “America’s Toughest Sherrif”, Arpaio likes to refer to Seagal and his trainees as his “posse.” In fact, the word “posse” appears in the above article 12 times. Although this may be odd for some, it makes perfect sense to Steven Seagal and his fans, as Steven has had to maintain a posse throughout each facet of his career. From his work as an actor in 42 films, an ordained Buddhist minister, a supporter of the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, a 7th degree Aikido black belt holder, a Reserve Deputy Chief in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, an energy drink founder (which is delicious), a married man, four times over, a father to 7 children, and a composer of 2 beautifully written musical albums (entitled “Songs from the Crystal Cave” and “Mojo Priest”), it is evident that Seagal has absorbed a “posse” in each one his endeavors, a posse that has, undeniably, led him to the success he revels in today.
His most recent duty is to train 48 volunteers on school security, teaching martial arts and firearms techniques. And if this new posse is anything like Seagal’s former compatriots, I think “America’s Toughest Sheriff” just got a little bit tougher.
