Arpaio: PI hired to investigate judge's wife

I'm not certain why people want to see this guy in his own jail. He's done nothing but try to keep illegals off the streets. Which is what he was hired to do. Enforce the laws.

I do not understand it. Why is that a bad thing? I understand Liberals want the illegals roaming the streets and to give them Amnesty, but I'm not sure why they have that position. What benefit does it give to anybody in this country?

Please explain.

Liberals love to give out other peoples money, illegals more than likely need money given to them, if you let illegals in you let in a huge number of supporters.

Profit

I would start here:

The guy is a complete scumbag. Anyone, liberal or conservative, should want to see that guy fired.

How about for this:

The implications of Snow's questioning were not immediately clear, but testimony offered a murky glimpse into some of the Sheriff's Office's alleged secret pet projects, with Arpaio conceding that the agency employed unreliable informants, private investigators and an unknown amount of public funds to investigate Arpaio's political enemies.

Or this:

In 2008, when Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon called for a federal investigation into Arpaio's immigration enforcement tactics, Arpaio's office responded by demanding the mayor's emails and phone logs. Arpaio also had his critic Maricopa County Supervisor Don Stapley, a Republican, arrested on suspicion of failing to properly disclose business interests.[56] Stapley agreed to a $3.5 million settlement in his lawsuit against Arpaio, Thomas and the County for false arrest.[57]

Or this:

Brian Crenshaw was a legally blind and mentally disabled inmate who suffered fatal injuries while being held in Maricopa County Jail for shoplifting. The injuries that led to his death were initially blamed on a fall from his bunk but were later discovered to have been the result of a brutal beating by jail guards on March 7, 2003.

The lawsuit against Arpaio and his office resulted in an award of $2 million.[93] As in the Scott Norberg case, it was alleged that Arpaio's office destroyed evidence in the case. In the Crenshaw case, the attorney who represented the case before a jury alleged digital video evidence was destroyed.[94]

Stop and think for a second. You don't mean "Enforce the laws." You mean "Enforce A law." Because the guy is breaking law after law to enforce that one law.

I didn't see a single thing in that Wikipedia that bothered me.

I also watched the Lockup episode of his jail/him that was on MSNBC a few months ago and didn't find anything shocking in that episode either.

Interesting that you aren't bothered by his office beating a blind and mentally disabled person to death and then destroying evidence about it.

Interesting that you don't find him repeatedly using the powers of his office to intimidate political opponents through fear of arrest to be bothersome.

You live in a very weird world.

All of that is circumstantial. And none of that can be attributed to Joe directly. That's like blaming Obama for a drone strike that killed 2 hostages when he wasn't even in the loop on any of it. Maybe Joe was directly involved, maybe he wasn't, nobody knows.

And just about every sheriff's department and court system will destroy evidence/exclude it if it doesn't fit some narrative. That is normal practice. He isn't doing anything out of the ordinary. We live in a corrupt system. The fact that it shows more under him is just because their is a magnifying glass on his office. He put a bulls eye on his back, and people are noticing. But again, nothing has happened there that hasn't happened anywhere else.

I'm not saying that makes anything right, but a lot of that stuff just isn't a big deal to me.

How on earth is that circumstantial? These are cases where the county paid millions of dollars to people because of the actions of his department.

So if you're okay with elected officials murdering inmates and then lying about it as well as arresting political opponents to intimidate them, can you maybe describe to us what actions our good friend Joe could have taken that would bother you?

It amazes me that the people who claim to support the Constitution the most also end up being this guys most vocal supporters.

Well the people that usually yell the loudest about supporting the Constitution are often the ones who understand it the least as well. Especially conservatives since conservative ideals and the Constitution are seriously at odds with each other.
 
Oh you guys are talking smack about the sheriff? get ready to be investigated! he's going to send his goons to your houses
 
I like Sheriff Joe for the simple fact that his existence pisses off the left so much. I'd vote for him.


Twice!
 
You know, I hate to say this, but your defending the actions of Arapio is not going to end well for you. 😉

That he actually conducted his own investigation toward the veracity of Pres. Obama's birth certy has got to put him in a class that is reserved for folks with special needs.

That he also has some kind of vested authority to flail his wicky around in public and beat people over the head with it doesn't mean it's OK for him and only him to do it and to do it over and over and over again. 🙂

You realize that Hitler banned the socialist party and routinely jailed and killed socialists, right? The Nazis were 'socialists' in the same way that Democratic People's Republic of Korea is 'Democratic".

Did you know that the original concentration camps were in fact used to jail socialists and communists? Socialist, my ass.

Indeed. Arpaio ignored over 400 sex crimes and closed 85% of investigations without arrests. He literally did do absolutely nothing but "try to keep illegals off the streets," at the small expense of not doing his job.

Arpaio demonstrates how easily morons can be misled with rhetoric. He's a colossal failure by any metric--extremely soft on crime, high recidivism rates, hates the Constitution--but his idiot supporters ignore that because he talks tough.
