Mrcasual8560, I agree with you 100%. I also believe Joe to be one of the very few with the "guts" to do the right thing. He's hated so much because he is not swayed by BULLSHI_! He's a man who has some common sense and unfoturnately that makes him different. What a sad world we live in now.

What a load, Joe and his men are doing what so many haven't the Balls to do, the only way you can find the ones who are here without permission is to check each one out since it's our brown brothers from south of the border in question, what would you have them do ? check oreintals instead? as for bad treatment , do't do anything to get yourself in jail

He will continue to be elected for as long as he wants the post.
Obummer and Holder will make no difference, the people have spoken. (besides, they'll be gone next election anyway....Joe will still be here)

It is soo exhausting to hear peoples retort to Obamas poor presidency as "well its no better than bushes"
Wasn't his catch phrase "change" he was going to fix the problems and Change things for the better. So far he has bailed out NUMEROUS corrupt banks, put HAMP, HARP in place that pays the bank more money to forclose on your home than help you retain it (see: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/25/business/foreclosure-relief-dont-hold-your-breath-fair-game.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=foreclosure%20fraud&st=cse )
or my favorite 535million solar company he backs goes bankrupt in a year (see: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/obama-backed-green-company-bankrupt-14426470 )
Is this president any better than bush. No but he sure as hell isnt making much "positive" change in this country.
Obama handled BP oil spill about as well as Bush handled Katrina.

To make a fire you first have to break a few sticks. Most of Sheriff Joes lawsuits come from left wing activist groups that feel "unjustly" treated.
Every week i get poked prodded and molested by Airport security during "routine" screening. I accept this due to actions of a select few that wanted to hurt our country 10 years ago. Our country had to take steps to keep the United States people protected just as the need to now.
If you don't think the flooding of illegal immigrants is a massive strain on this countries economy then you are truely ignoring the basic facts regarding annual monetary loss
See: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/immigrationnaturalizatio/a/caillegals.htm
If Joe is removed from office realize that we will be WORSE than California due to the fact the immigrants pass through here on their way there.

You speak of yourself. You are a judgmental person who evidently thinks that it is justifiable to mistreat people because they are "here Illegally". Do you so foolishly think that he and his organization would treat you any different if you found yourself on the wrong side of the law?
Joe Arpaio is an opportunist, a true sociopath who has abused his position of power to promote himself. Perhaps with people such as yourself who seemingly support civil rights abuses as "justice" and the law this is well and good, but to the rest of the world, this man is an utter embarrassment. China laughs at the United States when we talk down at them about Civil Rights, yet allow this man to continue to kill people in his gulags.
If you would call the hundreds of millions of dollars wasted of OUR taxpayers funds in defending this fiend against civil judgements against him, as a good job, then it is you who is fast asleep.

John D, thats nothing compared to other cities in the nation. Sheriff Joe is a great Sheriff and has done a great job. Even if he uses racial profinling to find people who are illegal because the records show that most illegals in AZ are hispanic. Thats the truth. not using that knowledge to your advantage is wasteful.
-
12/27/2011 6:27:00 PM
Stephen Lemons is a terrible writer and should be prosecuted for defemation for his assertions targeting the MCSO that many other Sherriff depts face across the nation. Why is he isolating the MCSO? Why doesn't he do research to find out if similar incidents happen involving white people? He is blind and doesn't recognize that white people are not exempted from false imprisonment. He wants to jump on what sounds like a good story. Thats all these writers do anymore. Its sick.

I am so tired of hearing about how the sheriff's department practices racial profiling. My skin is so white it's practically diaphanous and my eyes are blue. My hair is currently a light brown, its natural color, but when my civil rights were violated, apparently, by security at the airport, by the sheriff's department and by the Peoria Police Department over the last 12 years or so, my hair was either blond or red. Were these entities searching for the Irish? What about the Swedish? Who can I sue? And what attorney will represent me? If anything, I am discriminated against because my skin is so "white". By the way, the three times I was stopped, I was wearing Guess jeans or Levi's and driving a white Ford Taurus or silver BMW.

John Dixon 12/26/2011 11:44:00 PM
In a state like AZ, the comments like the two below are predictable and laughable. Because here, the "business-minded" conservatives have completely lost touch with the image that we project nationally and internationally. And Maricopa County has become a larger and larger laughing stock since Arpaio's 1992 election as a one-term sheriff promising to get the politics out of MCSO.
Most of us in this county prefer strict enforcement of our laws. But treating those laws selectively, as Arpaio has done throughout his time as sheriff, isn't "strict enforcement." The accounting under his terms produced a hundred million dollars of misallocation and improper accounting... a shell game really. That alone would be enough to sink most politicians. But those charges surfaced just as so many others in the catalogue of Sheriff Joe's clown act were also coming to light.
He began his service to Maricopa County with all the well-known stunts that he's ridden ever since: tents, green bologna, strips, pink underwear and Old Yeller. He promised to save the county money, while he's built a literal empire. Ever drive by the jail complexes or downtown MCSO facilities? And on top of that, he's cost us tens of millions of dollars in lawsuits and settlements, twenty-five million alone in prisoner abuse cases. The list of malfeasance and incompetent leadership taking place while Sheriff Joe has essentially been grand-standing for the mouth-breathing right wing is far too long to list here.
I don't think that we can wait for charges to be filed or an election. We can't afford it. It's time for Sheriff Joe to go... by recall, if necessary.

It might be more relevant to ask the socialist Canadians. You do know this investigation started more than three years ago, long before our Sheriff added birther nonsense to his repertoire.
You do know that the investigation was delayed about 18 months while Sheriff Arpaio refused to release documents to the DOJ, nor to permit access to the Maricopa County jails - all as required by law. What part of illegal do you suppose the Sheriff doesn't understand? The results of the investigation would have been released in early 2010 but for the Sheriff's illegal stone-walling.
You do know that a similar thing happened with the Civil Rights suit ruled on by a Bush appointed Federal Judge last Friday. Once again racial profiling and un-Constitutional behavior was found. This suit was filed in 2007, but was delayed a year and a half because - can you guess - the Sheriff shredded documents and deleted emails in spite of a the customary common sense court order to preserve the evidence. The Sheriff forget - imagine. These orders would also have been issued long before our Sheriff added birther nonsense to his repertoire.
The Sheriff is is a vindictive racist who has imbued his jails and police operations with a culture of unconstitutional discrimination and cruelty. He has no place in American law enforcement. He's a disgrace to our County, State and Country.

I see Blog has hit the Fast-Furious auto-reply button again, which has nothing to do with this article. Speaking of things that have nothing to do with the subject, did you notice that a Bush appointed Federal Judge on Friday found pretty much the same thing as the Department of Justice.
That's two branches of the Federal government telling us that Arpaio is too racist for America and too disrespectful of the Constitution and laws of the United States.
That only leaves one branch to go.
-
Bobunf 12/25/2011 5:13:00 AM
Bill, I guess the three ghosts haven't visited you yet. Many Americans think there are more important issues than undocumented immigrants. Like respecting our Constitution.
Sheriff Arpaio doesn't show respect for or knowledge of the principles of American democracy, which do not include arresting political enemies.
At least a third of our community regard Sheriff Arpaio and his officers with fear, loathing and the utmost distrust while avoiding any contact to the extent at all possible. The Sheriff has the cooperation typical of a hostile occupying army.
And you know, what goes around, comes around. As one Latina put it:
"White people hate taking care of their elders, so in 20 years all these bigots are gonna be in nurs-ing homes getting cared for by who? The Latino children of the Latina mothers they persecuted, oppressed, harassed and raped. Better watch out white old man, I remember what you did to my mama! So it's in your interest to be humane to us because your grandkids are gonna forget about you. You know, estranged families, it's a white thing."
-
Bobunf 12/25/2011 5:02:00 AM
I feel utterly baffled that anyone can feel that Sheriff Arpaio is acceptable as a law enforcement professional. After all that has come out, and more every day.
Just his treatment of pregnant women.
Or his killing and maiming of people in his jails.
Or his obvious blatant racial and ethnic discrimination.
Or his bad police work.
Or his huge tsunami of lawsuits – 20 times that typical of counties similar to Maricopa in size.
Or his divisiveness - at least a third of our community regarding Sheriff Arpaio and his officers with fear, loathing and the utmost distrust while avoiding any contact to the extent at all possible. The Sheriff has the cooperation typical of a hostile occupying army.
Any one of those more than enough to remove him. Any one more than enough to cause a decent human being to resign. The job is too big for him and he lacks the right temperament.
By the way, June, who do you think is buying the drugs that come from Mexico? Not Mexicans, I can assure you.

12/25/2011 2:35:00 AM
All he is doing is what is needed, the governments wants to control every aspect of our everyday lives with regulations and policies they call it protecting or society. protect our society by protecting our boarders. We deployed 250,000 plus troops overseas to protect our oil, but we can't sent troops to protect our people who live in the 4 states that boarder Mexico. This doesn't make any sense what so ever the only logical explanation for this is that our government is in bed with these people who are killing American citizens and flooding our country with drugs. 2012 election can not come fast enough, I voted for Obama instead of Mc Cain I was conned just like the majority of young American you voted for the first time. Mc Cain at least acknowledges the seriousness to protect our boarders, can't say the same for Obama. Stand up for what is right, stand up for Sheriff Joe. By the way I am a liberal and African American.

Upon reading the article and then some of the comments posted here. The blatant ignorance oozing from some is why we as a people will never evolve and advance our way of thinking.
Simple fact, that until you see the picture as a whole and the truth behind the LIES sold to you so very easily by the PTB, you are destined to be lost and confused. I too was that angry once.
Cause and effect. How much of our Government's interference causes our own internal strife??
Those that blame the current administartion with such a ferocious outcry and not blame the entire entity as a whole, are a glaring reflection of the lack of intelligence surrounding us. Your inablity to look at things from all angles is frightening. How much of a grasp do we truly have of any of today's leaders.
None!
Have you asked yourselves lately what laws or initiatives were you pleased with that Bush passed or rallied for?? How has your life or the World around you improved since any of your heroes have been the figureheads that you so strongly relate to? What has personally changed for you with each new cycle of wolves in sheeps clothing. What should change?
We have all been duped, the first step to change is to realize that you yourself have been included in the duping and be able to know yourself and how you truly stand on an issue and the principles surrounding it.
Maybe the sky balls will release a payload and cleanse the Earth. Perhaps we will be given another chance, perhaps we won't.
Open your mind to intelligent application of thought to the issues before us, not the answers as told to you by your religion, friends, family and not by those who stand to benefit.
Is something bad because we are told it is bad or we decide from our own experiences/ opinions that something is bad?
We must regain the ideas and thoughts of that independent spirit. The live and let live approach that we all espouse to want to follow. Trust me, it is no longer being looked after by those who should be guarding it. It has been trounced upon by all who tout that they serve to protect it.

I'm not sure I agree with part where you would not care if they lined them up and shot them, we would lower ourselves to the same morals of the wetbacks. The area I live in there so many illegals everyone knows where the drop houses are and the drug houses are when they come back and forth from Mexico with their drugs. I don't why the police department does nothing yet the Sheriff is the only one that does his job and everyone complains. As far as the Justice Department what people don't realize is they came making their stuipd statement made all these accusations that are not true because they sure as hell didn't talk to any and Hispanics that I know of course they only talk to the Mexicans and their organizations here. The Justice Department has not from what I understand not given Bill Montgomery who has asked for complete and detailed investigation that the justice department claims to have done. If it was a fact that all these things are true why then hasn't the Justice Department placed sanctions or filed a lawsuit or filed charges.

I was raised in the projects in the Marcos De Niza there has always been hatred between the both of us, on the other side of seventh Avenue with the black projects that's when everything was segregated and these damn wet backs who only came out at night always resulted in a fight with us because of their hate for our black friends. That's where the term cockroaches came from because they would only come out at night.

are you on drugs or some thing? I was born and raised here as my family who came from New Mexico many generations ago before it became state, my grandparents came to Arizona in 1918 before it became a state. We are not from Mexico.

obviously you know absolutely nothing about bipolar I've been involved in the mental health system for 20 years as an advocate and this is only an opinion, he may also have been suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Blame the governor for dropping 15,000 people who are seriously mentally ill from the behavioral health, another private agency that the governor has given the contract too. These people are sick and do not get any kind of services nor do they get their medications and that puts the public at risk and in danger. The prison system, the jails and all law enforcement are not trained in mental illness, this is something that we have been trying to change but, our Gov. cut the budget. The Police Department in many situations dealing with mental illness have shot and killed many who suffer from mental illness. This had nothing to do with his skin color. All of people the who are calling the president an illegal is just plain stupid.

@ enough, where's the research that says that people have been imprisoned for petty offenses? most of people in jail who gotten a rotten deal are the blacks not the Mexicans and before you say anything I am Hispanic. The sheriffs department is the only law enforcement that puts people in jail are you kidding me. The Police Department are just as bad if not worse. I don't think the sheriff is making a lot of money but, if our governor has her way she will build more jails which would cost millions and they would be private jails and prisons since she and a lot of politicians are shareholders..

has it now become exceptable for man to be calling women vulgar names? why is this issue such a big deal let me remind you that she was not shackled or her legs would be closed what they did was handcuffed her to the hospital bed and that is still being done in 39 states. Well I'm not white and I do know what Latinos are put through by the wet backs who come here illegally.

Humm, let's see... Maybe because they knew they wouldn't be able to provide from them back home. The reason why they left it in the first place. Or maybe because they were taken and didn't have any other option.

Bitch! How many times were you beaten, forced to give birth while shackeled to a bed? How the hell do you know what they go through, legal or not? You are white! You have NO idea what that animal puts Latinos through. I were you, I would keep my mouth shut. And yes, citizens pass the laws, it would be different if they endorced them in a humane way and not violate the civil rights of all people legal or not!

The fact that you know a lot of people that have been in jail says a lot about the system, doesn't it? Why are so many people being imprisoned for petty offesnes? Because corrupt politicians like Arpaio and his allies are making sooo much money in this business!

Scypher 12/23/2011 3:08:00 AM
So being bipolar gives law enforcement the ok to throw out the rules when handling someone like that,why would they all of sudden become unprofessional? Because all they saw was skin color and that meant illegal,so they felt they could beat this guy down and no one would know,they probably thought his family was in Mexico. If a man of any color other than white is in the white house,he'll be hated either way,Our current president is being called an illegal and he's not even Mexican,so go somewhere else with that shit!

@ Restiutiontouscitizensfirst WoW, you did your homework or you were there to see what happened during this time as was I. I remember desegregation, my black friends treated as if they were criminals. It was an extremely violent time.
-
12/23/2011 2:23:00 AM
I am one of those who you call people of color and yes I am angry that the dam wetbacks who are here in violation of a federal law think they have rights. My family, my friends who are Hispanic and friends from other counties are in favor of deporting them all. Since you brought it up the veteran who has Bipolar had not been taken his meds according to his family and their lawyer. Any one who knows some with Bipolar knows that they become violent when they refuse to take their meds.. He was arrested by Phx. PD on assault charges not because he was what you all call brown. .Mexicans are the worst racist, they hate whites, blacks and Hispanics. You need to do some research, I have, besides living in an area of about 70% illegals. Keep defending them, their goal is to put a Mexican in the White House. Then they have made clear there will be a revolution, Not that it will happen but if it did their quote " Kill the white and the police"

Restitutiontouscitizensfirst 12/22/2011 9:06:00 PM
"Whites" suffer theft, beatings and death ALL the time in this nation - merely for being "white." You need to get out more. And hello? "Brown Power" means severe discrimination against US Mexicans by Mexico born Mexicans. Don't tell me how wrong I am - my US Mexican descent family lives it every day in their own home town here in AZ USA! And yes, Black & Brown power does mean death, disfigurement, PTSD etc for those who are the wrong color - I've lived it! I saw the few "white" teachers getting stabbed in the public school due to desegregation bussing during the Civil Rights Era. I watched red & yellow haired "black" girls have to prove their membership in the "community" by beating & stabbing "whitey." Scypher, you are a troll spouting incendiary lies!
-
Scypher 12/22/2011 8:46:00 PM
The phrase "white power" came with a rope ,a tree,a burning cross,and the DEATHS of many innocent people of color. The phrase "black and brown power does not connotate death! It was reaction to a bunch of cowards in white hoods killing innocent black babies. I dont recall any innocent white babies being killed for being white,thats the difference and sadly I thinl most people know this,they just play dumb.
-
Scypher 12/22/2011 8:38:00 PM
What people dont understand,is that people of color are angry and talk about being racist towards white but thats its just TALK!! Certain white people PRACTICE racism they enact laws against interracial marriages (some areas of the south are still like that) 4 little black girls were blown up because they were black in 1960's,a hispanic US citizen and a veteran gets tased to death because he's brown. Show me a sign in any town in America at any ttime where it said "No Whites Allowed" STFU!

1984Orwell, I have found it very interesting that if Caucasians word to not only have a college fund or ethnic studies only for Caucasians or call yourselves proud whites you would be branded a Nazi. A friend who happens to be Caucasian let her 10-year-old go to school with a T-shirt saying white power when others had T-shirts saying Brown power, black power guess what happened he had to take his shirt off or he would be expelled.

@ big red 1, I think you're the one that's ignorant and why you calling somebody a bitch, is that how you were raised to call women names. for the record unfortunately I know way too many people who have spent time in tent city and from what I understand they volunteer to be in tent city or on the chain gang because it cuts their sentence by six months or more so, there because they volunteer . after spending some months there my grandson hasn't gotten 10 more trouble he doesn't want to go back. I think you need to get off your damn high horse because I am a Chicana and I have never nor my family and friends been discriminated against except for course the Phoenix PD. I also have a lot of friends that you call reds and they have never complained about being discriminated against. The truth is the ethnic group that is discriminated against the most are my black friends and that has been proven beyond a doubt. Do some research. Really, I'm getting fed up with this crap that we brown skined where the hell did that come from, we all come in different shade of color idiot.
-
1984Orwell 12/22/2011 6:27:00 PM
So you think that white people never have to deal with discrimination? It's time to stop blaming whitey and take some personal responsibility. If there was a United Caucasian College fund, that would be racist, yet there is a United Negro College Fund. There are special affirmative action programs for people of color for which caucasians do not qualify. The one race I am really disappointed with is the HUMAN race. We are all stuck on this giant ball of rock together and it's time we start concentrating on our similarities rather than our differences.

Big Red 1 12/22/2011 6:00:00 PM
You are an ignorant Bitch! For one you are white and are treated better, so get off your righteous high horse another thing you have never been discriminated against for any reason your skin is not brown, black, red, or yellow so you don't know SHIT!! NOW let's see how many of you racist rednecks and other idiots answer this? I really don"t a DAMN!!!

ICE didn't want to do it. So they swore in MCSO personnel to do it for them. Then DOJ release its "report" and ICE revoked MCSO's authority. THEN, when MCSO notifies ICE that there are individuals they need to pick up, they refuse. So, when some horrendous crime occurs at the hands of one of the people NOT picked up, what do you want to bet Arpaio will be blamed for that as well.
-
12/22/2011 5:13:00 PM
Many who have spent some time at tent city say the same thing you have just posted. Think about this, if tent city were to be taken down that would mean they would have to build more jails which would cost the taxpayers millions. The Gov. would make them private as she and many politicians are shareholders as you all know.

I have twice been a Guest of Maricopa County, both times for DUI's. Did it suck! Heck yes it did! In fact, one night, when I was in the tents, it happened to be the coldest night of the year so far. Someone had taken my blanket & some of them had three or four. I had never before and have never since experienced such a bone-chilling cold that, even though you can't entirely feel your apendages, the seem to be burning. It really sucked and, you know what? I Got Behind The Wheel of My Car When I Was Intoxicated!!! And there are consequences for actions. And there actually was a D.O. the last time that needs a serious attitude adjustment. Suck it up! Wearing pink? Embarrassing? Who cares? They're all wearing it! It's not like it "labels" you in some way (like a big tattooed up biker walked into a bar). They're clothes. Get over it.
As for Arpaio, the best metaphor I can come up with is this: Have you ever been in a supervisory position with a large number of staff? Let's say you're the bar manager in a busy night club & supervise 10 bartenders, 5 security guards, 3 door monitors, 2 barbacks and 15 cocktail servers. If you get a customer complaint about one of your bartenders; let's say, the customer calls you the next day and before the story starts, I guarantee that you are, because of the nature of the place, location, business, or whatever, your inclination will be to back up your bartender. Now, if there is a reason to suspect your bartender of doing what the customer said they did, then you investigate it. And you're certainly not going to admit anything or say anything without having completed the investiation. Now consider the sheer number of and the egos, issues and God-complexes of some officers and do the math!
The feds weren't enforcing the law. Arizona passed a law. The Sheriff has upheld that law. And one final point, if I, a white female, over 40, get stopped for any reason, the law requires that I have my State issued identification in my possession. If I don't, I GET A TICKET!!! Or cited, you get the idea. Now, if I were a Hispanic woman over 40 I would be asked the same questions, expected to produce the same documentation and get the same ticket.
I am so painfully tired of people whining about the green bologna and pink underwear and blah blah blah... And I am quite sure that new policies and procedures should be drafted and submitted for review. I agree that it may be time for a complete internal personnel audit. I believe that citizens should be afforded the opportunity to complain or praise. But the thing is, someone in this country illegally DOES NOT get to scream civil rights violation! You are not a citizen here...you are not covered under civil rights laws here. If you don't like the jails, don't do anything to end up there. And for goodness sake, let the man do his job! The DHS has needed a time-out for a decade now...I think they should go stand in the corner for a while and think about the damage all of this will cause to the morale and motivation of all law enforcement to ACTIVELY enforce the laws passed by the citizens. Yet everyone complains that law enforcement is never there when you need them. Well, pick one...
