Isn't this the same asshole that locked up a hooker in a cage outside in 100 deg temperature with out shade or water until she died of heat stroke? Why isn't this guy in prison?

It is sad people have to hate the immigrants the way that they do. My family immigrated here!
We like their cheap labor, we just want them to get back across the border after they have worked here!
What about busing them back and forth? Oh, that may work for Texas and California, but I don't know what the rest of the states are going to do? Maybe, airplanes?

Fucking hypocritical isn't it? I have a friend who's a Mexican American and he gets shit from the wingnuts for being a wetback even though is family has been in this country (before it was even a country) for about 500 years.

My wifes an immigrant too (though the legal variety) and this xenophobic racism is quite disturbing to the both of us.

I really like this sheriff. I read about him years ago and he was featured on some show that relayed how he ran a tent city for his inmates and made them wear pink or something. I hope he hasn't done anything illegal as I like the things I have read about him.

He has. Like most loose cannons he's gone to far. The Sheriff tends to act as if he is the law as opposed to enforcing the rule of law. His excesses have hurt people and cost them their lives (in at least one case) and he has not been held accountable.

So, have the charges been proven in a court of law?

The entrapment case was proven.

He also was personally sued for the death of an inmate in his tent city, with 1800 inmates and 4 guards, because he basically furnished them with weapons, rebar tent stakes. From the court's opinion...

[Arpaio] admitted knowing about and in fact intentionally designing, some conditions at Tent City that created a substantial risk of inmate violence: the lack of individual security and inmate control inherent in a tent facility; the small number of guards; a mixed inmate population subject to overcrowding; extreme heat and lack of amenities.

But hey, it's good publicity.

some of the lawsuits against sheriff joe...

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/04/25/20080425manning-letter0425.html

This is the kind of thing Joe does to his political enemies...

"Two Republicans and an Independent running against Arpaio have all alleged abuses of power on the part of Sheriff Arpaio. In 2002, the county settled a lawsuit out of court with former employee Steve Barnes for wrongful termination after he blew the whistle on questionable tactics by the sheriff's office.

Barnes claimed that Arpaio's office wiretapped former Arpaio aide Tom Bearup and that it had targeted County Attorney Rick Romley for surveillance. Bearup, W. Steven Martin and Dan Saban, all running for sheriff against Arpaio this year, have also reported that they have been followed and harassed by sheriff's deputies.

Another example would also be the arrest of Nick Tarr, otherwise known as "Joe Arizona". In 2020 there were three hot propositions involving Indian gaming in Arizona, Nick's "Joe Arizona" character supported racetracks having slot machines, Sheriff Joe was supporting a proposition that kept Indian gaming on Indian land. For Halloween Nick decided to campaign in downtown Phoenix dressed as an officer. He went into his prop closet can came out with an old uniform shirt from DPS, his trademark "I Love Arizona" t-shirt, and a pair of Arpaio's pink boxer shorts.

Dave Hendersott, chief Deputy of the Sheriff's Office spotted Nick and he called DPS twice to have them come out and give Nick a citation. DPS officers came out and decided there was no crime. Undaunted, Hendershott then ordered his own deputies to arrest Tarr of impersonating an officer.

The charges against Tarr we later dropped and Tarr now has a lawsuit against the Sheriff's Office."

Sheriff Joe and his gang are bullies who prey on the poor and weak. He and his gang terrorize his political enemies. He makes sure the tv cameras are running when he rounds up illegals, while nothing is done to the real criminals, the employers or hire them. Many people are brutalized or die in his jail. He is a racist, hate filled old man who should see his jail from the inside for a few years.

You fail to deal with the fact that he clearly entrapped Saville, has presided over an office guilty of several murders, has been taken to task by fellow Republicans and police/detention officers, etc. This guys has a rap sheet longer than anyone he has locked up.

You guys are disgusting. You'll excuse anything, so long as they spew some racist shit.
