These guys are brazen. And the only thing that makes it okay is that at least Mayor Gordon knew what he was getting into.
In his state of the city address May 16, Gordon referenced the sheriff's retaliatory nature.

"Will you pay a price for speaking out?" he asked. "Yeah, you might. We only need to look toward the deputies who have been forced to resign, the publishers who have been jailed, or the Mesa, Phoenix and West Valley chiefs who — along with elected officials like Rick Romley and Terry Goddard — have been targeted by [Arpaio's] Selective Political Enforcement Unit."
Gordon knew how the sheriff played the game, and yet he spoke out anyway. That's courage.
We can only hope he was really, really careful with his city e-mail account. Otherwise, I'm betting, we're all going to hear about it.

Keep up all your good work ...We the people do appreciate all that you stand for and do wish we had a person like you in California and oregon.. Both states have so much crime and wasted monies on these people whom need to go back to their own country and not bleed ours dry.. Did I say I am a grandma with these views and know hundreds more who share my same views on this serious matter.

The comment below still applies, and it's December!
"Arpaio and his Goons are so out of control it's actually becoming dangerous for all Maricopa County Citizens.
When does this tyrant meet his end ?
When does Arpaio finally pay for all the death, destruction and lives he's destroying in his wake ?

Thinking man writes "Only eight comments? AZ Central usually has hundreds"
That's because there is only a handful of you pathetic liberal whining babies, and thank God for that. Another positive side to abortion.

Only eight comments? AZ Central usually has hundreds. Arpaio is a moron and publicity seeking crook. I just moved mack to Phoenix after being away for several years. I am amazed that the citizens of the county have put up with such shameless graft and corruption. It's amazing what fear can do.
I only agree with the New Times about 25% of the time, but profiling or not, this buffoon has got to go.

like all suspects, he's got plenty to hide. so he plays a victim when inactuality he's getting nervous of all this overt and covert efforts which are criminal. Plus his sympathy for white supremacy and irrational dehumanization of mexican humans.
really, it's gotten too far and he's got to confront what he's initiated.
there are pictures and videos. plus piles and piles of records and he's sifting attention off himself toward mr mayor and gov. it's obvious. not to mention the human rights violations by his major link to psychiatric sources drugging prisoners and ruining their sanity. on and on. he definitely needs to be stopped...$$$$$$$$$ don't go with you when your spirit leaves your flesh.

Here is an email that Sheriff Joke and his deputies can read - kiss my ass.
Who does this jack ass think he is? Is Joke completely senile or is Chicken Little Chagolla running the show at MCSO?
My theory is Joke has totally checked out mentally and his puppeteers are using him as a front for fraud.
Here it is again - Kiss my ass!

Sarah, Thank you for the courage to write about the out-of-control sheriff and his enablers. Your article a outstanding and a great public service. We are all grateful -- especially those who have been silenced in fear. Of course that's the culture they created. We will flip the switch this election and get rid of the tyrants. We're tired of living in a Third World country run by a Troika.
Vote for Dan Saban for Sheriff, Gerald Richard for County Attorney!
