Phoenix Man tests police terrorism response

[n2doc]

A Phoenix man dressed his nephew in a sheet and sent him into a busy street with a fake grenade launcher, filming the masked teenager pointing the weapon at passing cars to see how long it took police to respond, authorities said.

Michael Turley was arrested Monday, nearly two months after the bizarre film was posted to YouTube. He posted US$5000 bond and was released.

In the film, the narrator, who police identified as Turley, said he wanted to see how long it took authorities to respond to a terrorist incident. The introduction to the video mentions the July 20 theatre shooting in Aurora, Colorado, that killed 12.

‘‘Given this event, I wanted to run a little test here in Phoenix, Arizona,’’ Turley said.

‘‘I want to find out how safe I really am, and I want to know the response time of the Phoenix police department.’’

2. Arizona, giving Florida a run for the crazy.

With apologies to the many sane people of both states, you with some form of air conditioning obviously.
