All the tough talk in the world may not end up helping Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio get out of his latest legal mess. A federal judge on Friday referred Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio to the U.S. Attorney’s Office requesting that he be prosecuted for criminal contempt of court. Three of his aides are also included in the referral. Arpaio has made a national name for himself by harassing anyone who appears to be Latino and abusing prisoners by forcing them to sleep in tents outside despite intense heat and feeding them bread and water for a week after they allegedly desecrated American flags.

The move came after a judge said Arpaio and his deputies failed to heed court orders from a years-old racial-profiling case and, among other things, continued his immigration patrols months after they were ordered to be stopped. Arpaio and one of his deputies have already been held in civil contempt for essentially lying under oath but criminal contempt could actually lead to incarceration. Of course, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Attorney’s Office will decide to prosecute the two men, but the judge could still order a special prosecutor to pursue the charges.

It speaks volumes that a law and order patriot like Sherrif Joe is considered a "sleazebag" by libtards.

Oh deal with it. Police officers are supposed to be professionals. Being held accountable to the highest legal and ethical standards of your profession are part of being a professional and if they cant handle it then they need to find a new line of work. Joe Arpaio isn't above the law and if he doesn't like being held accountable tough shit. He's supposed to be a professional. It comes with the territory. I have to deal with that shit every day in my profession, as well as, other professionals and you don't hear us cry babying and hiding behind patriotism and the flag when were held to the highest legal and ethical standards of our profession.
