Joe Arpaio should run for Higher Office.If he came to California I'd vote for him.Most of his critics whine about what he's supposed to do, HIS job!!! Since when is a REAL sherrif supposed to wet nurse criminals?That's the ACLU's job.
Maybe you can spend some time in his jail for jay walking or some other minor misdemeanor. One who got a two month sentence ended up dead.
Hopefully, he won't be "innocent for long". We have standards, even in prisons and jails - at least in the country, I live in.
If you do not break the law you do not go to jail.
I do not believe you go to jail for misdemeanors unless perhaps you are a habitual offender. Please provide a link where this dead prisoner was in jail for two months because of a misdemeanor.
Your link says nothing about the conviction of the sheriff and if he ever is, then I am sure he will have deserved it and will have to do his time as well.
Jan Brewer was not elected. As Secretary of State she automatically replaced Democrat Napolitano when she moved on to Washington. Let's see who's laughing on November 2, 2010.
Do you live in Arizona, Gary? Most of the voters there do live there. Did she write that law or was it from the legislature? I think you have joined in with others who seem to think that Arizonans who elected that legislature are going to allow themselves to be intimidated by people who haven't read the law. BTW how much of it have you read?
Brewer became governor because the previous governor left office to become Secretary of Homeland Security. Brewer seems scattered and weak to me. Not the kind of person that inspires confidence and competence.
Do you know that Napolitano is against the law and she hasn't even read it yet? Oh yeah.
Now you have explained why Arizonans can be considered stupid for re-electing Sheriff Joe. He is quite popular around there, except with illegals who are felons.
WOW!!! World Nut Daily and Alex Jones as sources? LOL
Attack the messenger and head on down the road. Deflection of this type is the very best method of handling things that Alinsky had for his followers and you folks do it so well.
How Patriotic of him - Yawn. Sorry to disappoint - we
weren't at War in Iraq in 1993 when he began his "Tent City" nor in 1996 when a retarded man died there who was arrested for trespassing. Having prisoners that are arrested for misdemeanors like shoplifters, ending up dead, is not something I'm impressed with. And neither should anyone else be.
New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston, for example, collectively housed more than 61,000 inmates per day. From 2002 through 2005, these same county jails had a combined 43 prison-conditions lawsuits filed against them in federal courts.
In the very same three-year time frame, despite housing a mere 9,200 prisoners per day, Sheriff Arpaio was the target of a staggering 2,150 lawsuits in U.S. District Court and hundreds more in Maricopa County courts.
His antics cost Arizona taxpayers money for all the lawsuits they have had to settle.
But I'll let you have your "hero". I think he is pathetic and
a sad excuse for a law enforcement officer. Simply criminal.
What part of the southwest do you live in? How many illegal aliens do you have to deal with every day? Is illegal entry a felony, or not?
If you do not break the law you do not go to jail.
