thank you...the only thing i've heard about him is he makes inmates wear pink...
from your link it appears it was not arpaio that shackled her:
the link also mentions it is their policy to restrain inmates in unsecured facilities (sheriff spokesman) and that the only thing arpaio denied was that he did not deny her access to the baby....
so, it does appear she was shackled, but not by arpaio. if this is their policy, it absolutely needs looking into....becuase it appears it does not take into account this specific type of incident where shackles seem harsh and uncalled for.....
as it stands, arpaio did not shackle her and we have no evidence the sheriff specifically ordered the officer to shackle her, it looks like the officer made a judgement call and followed ordinary procedures
....so the thread claim is false as it stands from your own links
He did order her shackled. He is responsible for policy.
