Go* Sheriff Joe!

*....to hell!

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find either of those - or both - in his list of accomplishments.

Yay! Sheriff Joe time!

He's too busy for this raped brown children crap. He only has so much time to force pink underwear on sweaty men.

Based on his public history, I sorta dread to think about what that guy must fap to privately.

Many of the victims, said a retired El Mirage police official who reviewed the files, were children of illegal immigrants.

everyone knows slaves can't file rape charges, right?

I don't get what it will take to get this guy seriously investigated. Does he need to Sandusky someone in broad daylight? (A white someone clearly.)

Well, it's easy to understand. Dressing your prisoners in pink and putting them in tents is easy. Investigating sex crimes is hard work.

/And not as newsworthy.

So he's planning on running for pope when he retires from law enforcement?

It wont matter. The voting base that keeps Joe Arp in his job are all right wing, rich supporters in Scottsdale and Sun City. The same ones that keep Jan Brewer in office.
They push for laws that target Hispanic [American] and Native American.... oh who am I kidding, anyone who doesn't look like a true 'American'.

And of course, their personal army is any law enforcement officer. Because, well, "They're just doing their jobs™".

"Fill up our jails with them coloreds! Obamer can pay us to jail his crinimals, we need more money dat burn it!"

basically, yes. as long as Sheriff Joe confines his indifference and hatred to the poor and/or brown people then he can basically do almost anything he wants.

they keep using the word "botched," as if someone just goofed up. can you really call it botching an investigation if you are willfully refusing to engage in an investigation?

To be fair, the Department of Justice has stepped in in the past on issues of civil rights violations in other places. I remember reading about them investigating him but nothing seems to really stick to this guy.

he's hard to bring down. he's got a LOT of corrupt buddies working for him, plus he tends to make evidence disappear. think 'boss hog' only a lot dumber and more vicious. Plus he's made friends high enough up the ladder to slow down a lot of the federal investigations.

I'm not sure how much longer he's going to last though. Sheriff Joe has started to attract a LOT of attention from around the country. that's not a good plan. I don't care how good you are at being a small town corrupt cop. you make yourself enough enemies and eventually they'll gang up on you. Joe seems to be getting better at making enemies and less good at finding allies.

Well, yeah, he is a Republican.

Seriously, is anyone actually surprised by this? He's forced women to give birth chained up because they were Hispanic. Letting Hispanic children be raped is completely predictable and not at all unexpected.

Sherrif Joe is highly popular with the old people who moved to the southwest.The carpetbaggers have been ruining Phoenix for years: Guys like my uncle who said, "You'll like the black people in phoenix, cause they will hate the Mexicans too."

the Southwest used to be pretty much live and let live. You used to be able to carry your gun everywhere. Booze, sex, gambling were considered harmless vices if no one was forced into it. Drugs were really no big deal. The worse things were the crimes against Indians and Illegal Immigrants.

But since the snowbirds came, they try to make it green like the east. They try to make the culture fast past and sterile. And snowbirds approve of Joe's handling of lawless-cuz it's all boot-strappy and western mythy....

I hope so, but honestly I feel like I read this in every Sheriff Joe thread. :/

my rule of thumb is to never make yourself more valuable as a scapegoat than as a member of the team. Joe is rapidly approaching 'scapegoat' territory and if he keeps pushing it, he'll get thrown to the fed so fast he won't know what hit him.

don't taunt the fed cops. they'll eventually find your weakness and that'll be it.

FTA: even though suspects were known in all but six cases

...and related to officers, perhaps? Or was it "were known to be white, and the victims were known to not be"?

Now that's some fine advice. Seriously. I'm committing that to memory. Thanks.

unlikely: So he's planning on running for pope when he retires from law enforcement?

I think there are some job openings at Penn State and Syracuse...

GAT_00: Well, yeah, he is a Republican.

Scary thing is, he's not really a small town cop. He's the sheriff of the 4th most populous county in the country.

vudukungfu: I'd like to meet him.
No henchmen involved.
Mano e mano.

Beat him to death with a sack of frozen burritos.

I have the wierdest boner right now.

SoCalSurfer: "In El Mirage alone, where Arpaio's office was providing contract police services, officials discovered at least 32 reported child molestations - with victims as young as 2 years old"

How the hell do you rape a two year old?

By severely injuring them, as I've understood from newspaper reports.

Fett56: Should I be surprised that a shiatty person is a shiatty person?

AbbeySomeone: I knew this would go green eventually.
FBI needs to step in.

arrest joe.
put his case file at the bottom of the pile.
wait until the backlog of cases has been dealt with.
then let him see a lawyer.

/oh wait, he is fat, old, white guy. nvm

In El Mirage alone, where Arpaio's office was providing contract police services, officials discovered at least 32 reported child molestations - with victims as young as 2 years old - where the sheriff's office failed to follow through, even though suspects were known in all but six cases.

But hey, as long as those inmates are wearing pink, eating crap for food, and sweltering in tent cities under the desert sun to provide Arpaio's constituents with their "tough on crime" porn, it's all good, right?

thomps: they keep using the word "botched," as if someone just goofed up. can you really call it botching an investigation if you are willfully refusing to engage in an investigation?

this this and more this.

they didnt botch the investigations.
they didnt do the investigations.

why have the cities who have contracted with him sued already?
not just to recover fees, but punitive damages??

/sigh

That's because rape and child molestation are Republican past times, and illegal immigrants are brown.
