The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says it has made 55 arrests so far in its 14th crime sweep since 2008. Of those arrested, 31 are suspected illegal immigrants.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio said his crime-suppression sweeps are paid for by state funds and donations; however, he refused to elaborate on how much each sweep costs.

"he refused to elaborate on how much each sweep costs..." That's putting it charitably. I saw the broadcast of the reporter asking him that question. He was either utterly ignorant of the answer or wants to fool the public about how much they are paying for this latest publicity stunt of his. What state funds and what donations? He didn't say.
If it weren't sad, it would be funny. He's still under investigation for abuse of power, and no stunts he can pull will change that.
it is too bad we don't have more of this great man around! he is doing a super job and if you don't have anything to hide you shouldn't be worried! keep up the good work Joe you are great!
Ha! What a joke! I feel so much safer with all of the gardners off of the streets, LOL. This joke of a sheriff should retire.
While Sheriff Joe has all seniors and newbys to the valley thinking that he controls the crime, he doesn't. After 31 years in the valley I can tell you all he has on his side is GREAT P.R. people. The crime/criminals are as bad if not worse than they ever were. You put 3000 men together and take away their cigarettes,coffee,good food and see how long it takes to start a fight.
He may be tough but I support Sheriff Joe !! I feel sorry for the illegals, but they should get legal.
Do we ask how much every government action costs? Why does the media single how law and order for an accounting. Phoneix paid $14 million in bonuses is anyone upset about that in these hard times. With all the investigations and given the media hunt, if there were a hint of something wrong it would have leaked a long time ago. The country government is so corrupt the special investigator of Thomas had to step down. Good job of vetting Supreme Court. We know about Shady Mary but how far does the corruption go?
I don't have any problem with Joe arresting illegals unless he is violating a citizen's civil rights in the process of trying to do so.
Anonymous, why are you talking about the Candy Andy side show on a board about Arpaio's "crime suppression sweeps"?
Whomever wrote: "Why does the media single how law and order for an accounting. Phoneix paid $14 million in bonuses is anyone upset about that in these hard times." How do you know that? Because of the media!!! So you contradicted your own point.
Also- this blog is about Arpaio and his "sweeps". So do you think it might be appropriate to discuss that? Most do. He doesn't even know how much they cost. So he doesn't know if he's spending funds where they will have the most impact to protect the citizens. Clue!!!!
Some just want to change the subject (as always) to the problem of illegal immigration. Joe is making some impact, but mostly it's publicity for him to get people's minds off the investigations of his abuses. He hasn't done a good job overall as Sheriff. He wants to mislead you into thinking he is, but the facts are available if you care to look.
The problem I have with Arpaio's sweeps is that he has to make it a week long media event. His is the only LE agency that feels they deserve a marquee and a spotlight for going to work and doing their jobs.
I really wish the media would just stop showing up for this press conferences and stop putting him on TV. Video what he says so that we have record of his blunders (like "it's this civil rights stuff- all the crap") but don't put him on the nightly news announcing that he will conduct a sweep sometime in the next 30 days. That's not news. That's just Joke needing his ego stroked.
In a related story, it looks like the judge is recommending Arpaio settle in the (expensive) civil rights violation case that has caused the big ruckus over the emails. We'll probably be able to comment on this one later tonight or tomorrow, so here's your preview:
http://www.kpho.com/news/22891441/detail.html
Anonymous, one of the reasons Joe is under such scrutiny is due to Young's and his taking on county corruption. Investigations are a way to try and punish him for doing his job. They are all connected.
Lawn, yes the media mentioned the bonuses but did 5 create a blog to discuss it? The point is how the media goes after Joe but pays little attention to corruption or wasteful spending going on in government. Joe is doing a good job and may run for governor. Why is spending on law enforcement always the first to be questioned? These issues are all related.
Sheriff Joe is the best thing and the only thing left that is positive in Maricopa County. He is helping reduce the crime rate in all cities in the valley. Many illegals are the ones who are committing the violent crimes. When they aren't here the crime rate is lower its a fact! I believe in Sheriff Joe!!
"Investigations are a way to try and punish him for doing his job." Yes, that's one of Arpaio's tactics, isn't it?

Joe is one of the few POLITICIANS in the western US that is ROUTINELY KNOWN FOR TRYING TO GET ON TV to CLAIM to be doing something that he does not do." Touche' You nailed it, Liz. Arpaio is fooling some of the people all of the time. Sad that those fooled think that those who pay attention to provable facts and reliable reports and the publicly available records are blind- oh, well.
We keep hearing the same refrain, that Sheriff Arpaio is one of the few...doing his job. But always no facts, just opinion to back that view.
Joe Arpaio is one of the few law enforcement leadership types in the westen united states that is routinely doing the job that should be done. If there is a demographic associated with or at risk for precipitating crime i guess there are some who think Joe should ignore it. I'm glad the forest service doesn't ignore the smoke that signals the presence of a fire. I really hope the fire department responds to smoke that is coming from my roof or my neighbors.
Boy, some people have'nt researched or was aware of Napolitano crap, she was voted in from the illegal vote, is a progressive, anyway our country is being collapsed to have a social justice society, & she plus others are working for the higher sources to get this nonsense thru.

The Phoenix Police Department's internal affairs unit is investigating an incident early Friday in which an officer threw City Councilman Michael Johnson to the ground and temporarily handcuffed him as the councilman tried to check on a disabled neighbor whose South Phoenix home was on fire.
Johnson, a former police officer and homicide detective, said in an interview Friday morning that he believed the police "abused their power" in the incident.
Later Friday, he also released a formal statement saying he planned "to sit down with our chief and discuss the treatment of residents by our police.

You are a freakin MORON. Anyone who has read my posts knows you are not me. I see a Simms post that I'm guessing is you too.
YOU ARE A LOSER. I'm emailing the blog administrator to see if your IP can be banned.
Why can't you use your own name or even "anonymous"???????????
TOO INSECURE? Why f it up for everyone else? Or are you just a freak?
To anyone who actually reads MY posts, let it be known that this is the last post I'm making here under "Liz F - North Phoenix". If you see any further posts under this name, IT IS NOT ME. IT IS THAT MISQUITOE WHO DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE IN HIM/HER SELF. I will post under random names from now on, but I guaranty you I won't be posting much until this site requires regisration.
Some of you people are STD SCABS on society. That would be JW Simms and the Liz F and Lawn Order impersonator, specifically.
Anyone who has any common sense will know that there is some kid with no knowledge of what is going on here scamming and pretending to be Lawn Order, Liz F and J.W. Simms.
It's so obvious.
Whoever you are, knock it off. No one wants to read your BS posts. If you don't want to use a name (that doesn't already belong to another blogger) then use anonymous, but knock off the crap. Some people LIKE reading the comments of the people that blog here a lot and don't want to have to figure out whether it's them or you. If you have something worthy to say, chose a name and let us read what worthy things YOU have to say and stop messing with people!
Sheriff Joe is the BEST EVER, if you really watch the news.. I do feel more safe with him or really anyone going after people who commit crimes... not profiling.. seriously if your so stupid to hate him, you must be doing something wrong or have a relative that is.. getting the BAD off the street and put away in the shit box where they belong is not the worst thing, its the greatest thing... next time your friend gets killed or your house gets broken into; youll think twice hating the very people you EXPECT to protect you.. think before you judge, dumb asses....
The sheriff is a joke! You should get back to work deputy! Stop wasting our tax dollars posting your propaganda!
:It's time for a Federal investigation into this abuse of power and many other misdeeds by the Phoenix police department. J.W. Simms.
It also seems that Phoenix P.D. should come under Federal investigation for "RACIAL PROFILING" as it seems, the city councilman that was abused was BLACK!!! and in his opinion, his color was the major cause of his mistreatment. J.W. Simms.
He is does a great job as sheriff, but we could elect him also to another position, since he has & does & will work for the people of AZ. He would give a hand, not a hand out like Wash. AZ. is already affected by administration with the smoking mirror effect, look how many people turned progressive being indoctinated with agenda, trying to pass bill on amnesty. Maybe President of U.S.A. I'm sure he would kick ass & take names!!!!!!!! & do away with corrupt agenda!!!!!!!
Doesn't sound like the classic Simms to me. I'd say the above post is the imposter that is ruining this blog. Go away idiot.

In other news, Joke and Candy are one day closer to being indicted. What a lovely day that will be!!!!
The REAL Liz F - North Phoenix
I think he is doing a good job. The rest of are law makers,should get off there asses and back him.
Sixty-four arrests were made and more than 900 pounds of marijuana were seized in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's latest crime sweep of the Valley before deputies hit the roads again on Friday.
Of the people arrested, 47 were determined by deputies to be in the country illegally, Arpaio said in a press conference Friday afternoon.
Twenty-seven of the suspected illegal immigrants were booked on allegations of violating Arizona's human smuggling law. The other 20 were not suspected of crimes other than being in the country illegally and were turned over to U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, Arpaio said.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio said that his deputies were not arresting people without reason, and that the majority of the people arrested had committed felonies.
Deputies also found a suspected drophouse in Mesa early Friday morning, where authorities took into custody eight people suspected to be in the country illegally and confiscated about 700 pounds of marijuana, Arpaio said. Three of the people were booked into jail on suspicion of drug trafficking, and the other five were turned over to ICE.
That drug seizure brought the total in the operation to over 900 pounds of marijuana and 4½ pounds of methamphetamines, authorities said.
"Last night was successful, as far as I'm concerned," Arpaio said.
By 9 p.m. in the operation's second day, deputies had arrested 39 more people, 25 of whom were suspected of being in the country illegally. Sheriff's officials said a total of 94 people were arrested in the two-day sweep, including 64 suspected illegal immigrants.
The crime sweep, which started Thursday, is a two-day operation that has focused on human and drug smugglers.
Four hundred personnel have been involved in the operation, including helicopters to search for people who have fled the scene.
This is the sheriff's 14th operation, and he said a 15th will be coming soon.
Arpaio did not give details on the time or place of the next crime sweep, but he said it would be in Phoenix.
That's a lot of pot that your kids won't" be buying, and a lot of Mexicans that won't" be selling it to them. Keep going Joe, you're doing GREAT!! J.W. Simms.

Joe has a lot of good ideas and some reasonable efforts in finding criminals. However, as a leader and a person he is a loss. He acts holier than thou, thinks he's above the law,replies and directs in a snot nosed manner, and has no people skills to work with peers or the media. It's too bad he can't temper his attitude and treat people with a little compassion and common sense. He could have done a lot more good if he had been able to learn a little discretion in the way he acts and reacts.
"Sixty-four arrests were made and more than 900 pounds of marijuana were seized in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's latest crime sweep of the Valley before deputies hit the roads again on Friday." WOW! SOunds like you're doing a good job for the fine people of Maricopa county, Liz. Keep up the good work Liz and go after the real criminals. You have the brains and the education to be effective!
I will be your prosecutor if you want me to be. I think we can elect ourselves right here!
It's a shame that one idiot can ruin a good blog site. It was really enjoyable to read the posts out here until the knucklehead who decided to start posting as others trashed it. I even liked the battles between Simms and Liz and Lawn Order. With the exception of Simms language, of course.
I am sure his new sweeps will generate another 5-6 civil rights lawsuits. Same Joe, Same stupidity.
Bottom line: it took 400 MSCO officers 48 hours to bag about the same number of illegals that it took Phoenix PD and DPS one traffic violation to nab.

Why doesn't the Phoenix Police Chief call a news conference and grandstand on TV for a while about how great he is? Because he is a real law enforcement man whose objective is to get the job done, not a sour old politician whose objective it is to be famous.
Lawn Order said that Liz should be Sheriff... that really was me- and was completely sarcastic. As though Liz or I was getting some actual enforcement from MCSO. Most LAEs just enforce the law, they don't need to make a big production every time they do anything. MCSO does. Why? Because they are incompetent and need to fool people into thinking they're "tough" (when we'd all prefer "effective").
That scowl Arpaio poses with for photos is supposed to make him look tough, it just makes him look angry. He's not tough- he's mean. He runs the biggest gang in the Valley. He even wants the Board of Supervisors to be afraid of him.
As for all of Simms garbage about federal investigations of Phoenix PD. maybe there will be one, but where's the pattern of abuse like we see with MCSO? And if there is, it won't make Joe Arpaio a better Sheriff.
Why does Hendershott make well over twice what Arpaio does? None of Joe's supporters have ever answered that.
Posted by the real Lawn Order.
This blog is a lot better now that Mark Gasser finally went away.
Now if only JW Simms and the imposter blogger would go away, everything would be great.
I like Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He is a last of a dying breed of law enforcement leaders, especially here in Arizona. He lets his deputies be cops. Unlike those at Phx PD and DPS. Those leaders are spineless jelly fish, who try to limit and control what their officers do. To the leaders of Phx PD and DPS, get off your a** and work the streets for a bit. There are real dangerous people out there. In case your unaware, we have a huge border crisis going on in Mexico. Instead of limiting the powers and discretion of your fellow officers, why don't you get on their side for a change, instead of worrying about making more stringent policy changes. Thanks Sheriff Joe, for being a true leader and man, among boys.
The man has let power go to his head. It has been shown that if anyone speaks out against him, they become his target. So many people have come forward telling how they have been victimized by him because they dare disagree with him. He disagreed with the Mayor in Mesa and guess what, Joke Arpaio shows up at Mesa City Hall in the middle of the night to arrest the cleaning crew! Yeah, that waste of taxpayer money made me feel safer! And talk about publicity addict. He gets more face time on TV then most of the other politicians in this state! Why? because he likes to hear himself talk. And we pay for his security team because of the NUMEROUS people he's ticked off not to mention the MONEY it has cost us all because of the number of times he's been sued for his "way of doing things". It's out of control and it's about time someone does something about him, his little boy Candy Andy and that big butted double dipping Henderschott. We pay him double salary to uphold Arpaio...I mean really, is ANYBODY getting what's going on?
Bull crap. Arpaio is a pompus jerk who wants total power over the county and everyone in it. He is also just as guilty, if not more so, of corruption and violation of ethics, as any other politician.
Why don't you do a little digging into his Honduras trips and the Sheriff's Command Association. Why don't you look at the fact that he paid himself money from his last campaign funds to rent an office from himself. That's far worse than what Stapley is accused of. At least the campaign he's accused of diverting funds from was for a private committee, not a public office campaign fund.
Enlighten yourselves a little before you drool on your keyboard in your catonic love of a stale old geezer with an ego problem
I have a question for KPHO regarding the deputy that was charged with contempt for rifling through an attorneys PRIVATE files in court? Supposedly he went to jail but of course, nobody ever found out where or for how long. Did old Joe put the boy up in the Biltmore just to keep him out of site while he went after the judge that charged him with some bogus charges? Did Joe's little puppet just get put back on the job while the focus was on the judge? Whatever came out of the contempt charges and where is the lil deputy now? Joe sure managed to cover that one up....yet again.
Here's how Arpaio answered your question. Note that in the last sentence, he has decided whether or not Stoddard is guilty, instead of allowing the courts to do so, the arrogant pig.
"Sheriff Joe Arpaio again referred to those ongoing political battles and praised Stoddard for his decision to report to custody - a decision that was entirely up to the 25-year-old detention officer.
"I hate to call our officer a political prisoner, but that's the way I feel because of the conduct of the judge in this matter," Arpaio said. "I have a feeling the judge may not like the sheriff."
Arpaio said Stoddard received special treatment afforded to any law-enforcement officer while he was in the Lower Buckeye Jail, including being held in closed custody, and that he was not forced to wear the sheriff's trademark pink underwear because Stoddard had not committed a crime."
The article did not specify a date when the appeal is to be heard.
"Sixty-four arrests were made and more than 900 pounds of marijuana were seized in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's latest crime sweep of the Valley before deputies hit the roads again on Friday." WOW! SOunds like you're doing a good job for the fine people of Maricopa county, Liz. Keep up the good work Liz and go after the real criminals. You have the brains and the education to be effective!
Thousands of people are expected to pour into Washington for a Sunday rally demanding immigration reform, launching the first public battle over the issue since the announcement of a new bipartisan plan endorsed by President Obama.
While the nation will be focused largely on a more immediate debate -- an expected vote over health care reform -- the march on the National Mall will be setting the stage for a fight over another of the most contentious issues facing the country.
The organization Reform Immigration for America, which supports a path to citizenship for those in the United States illegally, says the changes it wants to see will help bring about "economic justice for all Americans."
In response, the Federation for American Immigration Reform -- which staunchly opposes amnesty -- called on Americans to contact their representatives and demand tougher borders and an end to illegal immigration. FAIR says it seeks "effective, sensible immigration policies that work for America's best interests."
"The American people deserve more than empty rhetoric and impractical calls for mass deportation," the two senators behind the new immigration plan wrote Friday in the Washington Post.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, lay out broad ideas for fixing a "badly broken" system.
"Our plan has four pillars: requiring biometric Social Security cards to ensure that illegal workers cannot get jobs; fulfilling and strengthening our commitments on border security and interior enforcement; creating a process for admitting temporary workers; and implementing a tough but fair path to legalization" for the 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally, the two lawmakers wrote.
The plan will "require an effective employment verification system that holds employers accountable for hiring illegal workers," the senators write, including a "tamper-proof ID system."
The plan also would create "a zero-tolerance policy for gang members, smugglers, terrorists and those who commit other felonies after coming here illegally."
"Ending illegal immigration, however, cannot be the sole objective of reform," they wrote. "Developing a rational legal immigration system is essential to ensuring America's future economic prosperity."
After meeting with Schumer and Graham -- both powerful figures within their parties -- earlier this week, President Obama issued a statement saying he was "pleased" to see their "promising, bipartisan framework which can and should be the basis for moving forward. It thoughtfully addresses the need to shore up our borders, and demands accountability from both workers who are here illegally and employers who game the system."
The "critical next step," Obama said, is turning the framework into legislation. He called on Congress "to act at the earliest possible opportunity."
The push forward on immigration also helped the president woo a key vote for health care reform.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Illinois, agreed to support the House health care bill after meeting with Obama and discussing immigration reform.
"After extensive discussions with the president, I believe we have a health care bill I can vote 'yes' for, and I believe we have a commitment to move forward on a comprehensive immigration reform package as soon as possible," Gutierrez said in a statement Thursday.

What the H*** is wrong with you, Simms??? It's undignified enough of you to constantly call Liz F the B word and F*** face and get your posts all deleted. That kind of language is outrageous and uncalled for. But when you call the President of the US a "N-word Boy" and refer to Hispanics as "W. B.'s" it's clear that you're simply an angry, hostile racist and anything you say about your praise for Joe boils down to "you like him because he's a racist just like you". I hope you meant it when you said you're finished. Go curl up under the rock you crawled out from under and be miserable by yourself. Don't try to make the rest of us miserable with you.
Thank God we have Sheriff Joe to protect us.....
look what is happening in Mexico...almost 3,000 DEAD because
they have no one protecting them...
We LOVE JOE ! Keep it up and we'll keep you in office....but
don't run for Gov !
Thank you for your years of service.
Thank you KPHO...for letting us tell everyone what we think...
and what we think is
We LOVE Sheriff Joe and how he protects us from those who would
do us harm.
Round 'em up, Lock 'em up....Send 'em Back ! hee-HA !
Way to go JOE ! And, luv that pink underwear idea.
So sad for Linda Rondstadt that she had to come here (out of her
own county) to protest against Joe....
One more indication that pop stars in this country have NO CLUE
as to what this country needs.
too bad !
With regard to those who want to know how much a sweep costs?
Are you kidding me?
So, you want to put a price on your LIFE ?
You idiots.....go live in Mexico....and take your life in your own
hands.
It's too bad that so many people have blinders on and see only the illegals when they look at what is happening in Maricopa County. It's also too bad that they believe it when Joe Arpaio says he's tough on illegals. Phoenix PD and other metro area PD (Glendale, Tempe, etc)and DPS have arrested 10 times the number of illegals as MCSO has, and they don't send 400 officers at a time to do it. And if anyone knows of an incident where any department other than MCSO has gotten slapped with a civil rights violation lawsuit over activities surrounding the arrest of illegals, I'd appreciate it if you would post a link to the article.
I don't dislike Joe because of his stance on illegals per se. While I think these activities are more for show to get on TV, I don't have a problem with doing whatever can be done (within the law) to reduce the illegal population in Arizona.
I dislike Joe Arpaio because he is a corrupt, petty, egotistical, theatrical, media-hungry politician who wastes millions of dollars on personal vendettas in his attempt to gain dictatorship over Maricopa County - all politicians, all law enforcement, all judicial activities, all citizens and all non-citizens alike.
He is crazed with power and has lost touch with reality. He believes he is untouchable. Then there is this now-infamous video where he seems lost and confused and claims to have no direct knowledge of anything going on at MCSO. When confronted with the tough questions and no Lisa Allen PR script to work from, he seems like he didn't take his dementia medication and wandered away from his assisted care center.
Watch the video attached to this article and tell me THIS is a tough law enforcement man. No, it's a weak, corrupt politician that got caught red handed lying to the public and covering up for his department.

Why don't YOU go live in a country that doesn't believe in freedom of speech. You like politicians who harass others from positions of power just because they can? Well F*ck you and Arpaio!
And then there is the video-taped deposition of David Henderschott, the pompas blundering 2nd in command at MCSO who is bringing in 2 incomes granted him by Joe Arpaio, a full pension upon retirement from the department, and then a new hire as Chief Deputy for a huge salaray, hence one of less-negative nick names "Double Dippin Dave". According to his deposition, the entire country, starting with the President, is involved in a conspiracy to strip Joe of his power. They have no problem commencing an "investigation" into anyone who disagrees with Joe but when they come under "investigation", suddenly it's a huge conspiracy with "political motivation". Like their own investigations of everyone else in Maricopa County are not "politically motivated"!! That's a good one. Pathetic as it is, I had to laugh at that one.

Thank you, Blog Administrator!
In response to the first post on this board "How much did this cost?"
Do the math. 400 people x 2 days (assume 8 hours per day) equals 400 x 16 hrs x ?? (how much does a deputy make per hour? $30? $40?)
400 employees x 16 hours each over 2 days = 6400 hours pay.
6400 hours x $30 per hour (I'm assuming that's close)= $192,000.
That would be for officer pay only. I'm sure there are other expenses involved, such as supervisor pay, coordination of strategy, Lisa Allen's compensation for preparing Joe's script for his press conferences, fuel for vehicles and helicoptor, etc.
$192,000 so that Joe can walk out and give himself and his deputies a pat on the back and say "See all of dees illegal scumy mezkins we arrested?"
What a waste of money, again.
Yes. Wasteful. Speaking of which, did you see this article on the cost to taxpayers for Joke's infighting with everyone in the county?

Attn Blog Administrator:
When are we going to be able to comment on the article about Stapley filing against Joke and Candy. This same ol same ol "illegals" discussion is getting pretty old and tired. Thanks.
Pompous, Arrogant, Narcissistic, Self Absorbed, Crook... those words all come to mind. Don't get me started!
Other Anonymous - Oh, DO GET STARTED! I will go a long way to solve the boredom on this thread! The whole "illegal" thing has been dragged on for over a week now with no new topic and no one is here anymore. I would LOVE to hear what you have to say. Pompous, arrogant, Narcissistic, Self Abosrbed -- all of those sound good to me. Get started!
;o)
Yes. Wasteful. Speaking of which, did you see this article on the cost to taxpayers for Joke's infighting with everyone in the county?

I think Joe has a Hitler persona and gets off on stroking his. It' a shame that someone with some smarts uses it like Bush did in certain circumstances. Too bad the tables weren't turned and you were the illegal, I'd love to see how wonderful of a person you are. Spending an untold and probably illegal amount of money catching illegals, you should be lucky to have a firing squad. But then again, I don't believe in the use of guns, I guess making you listen to heavy metal rock might do the trick and of course feed you only those things you detest maybe that would be punishment enough for your actions, but I can't judge you that's God's job. May he have pity on your soul.
Keep it up Joe good job. The law says illegals. That means they have broke the law just being here. Kick'em out. Thank You
When I see Arapio I thank god that nobody lives forever. How much more embarrassment can my poor state take?
Yeah- Joe makes a show (literally) of going after illegals. Those of you who think he's a great Sheriff because of this, please do some research! He's not very good (and very inefficient) at this aspect of law enforcement. He is accused of breaking the law which he is supposed to enforce, and has paid many millions of taxpayer dollars in damages (not to mention attorney fees) arising from abuses. He doesn't protect the citizens who rely on MCSO, with extremely long response times. How long would you want to wait for a police officer if someone were trying to forcibly enter your residence? If someone sexually abused one of your family members, would you not want that professionally and quickly investigated for closure and the protection of other potential victims. That's the exception and not the rule when MCSO is involved.
So when informed people read these posts about what a great Sheriff Joe Arpaio is because of his immigration crackdowns, we see a post by a likely sincere person who doesn't know the facts, but believes a politician's word. If you want links to make your search even easier, just ask.
We want excellent law enforcement, not a politician who markets himself as "tough", and exploits victims and violators. He fools some of the people all of the time, but those people can choose to educate themselves.
Joe is the best thing that ever happened to Maricopa County!
Like he says, "You don't like it in my Jail....."
Not sure what part of ILLEGAL people don't understand, if you look like it, smell like it and ACT like it, you must be ILLEGAL!!! Who the hell should he go looking for the little old ladies, jogging in the park?
Funny, when he goes looking, HE FINDS THEM...........
Go Joe, Goe Joe, we all support you!!!
simms just needs to be bitch slapped. Hey simms, how many times you been arrested for something? I am willing to be that one of those was for Domestic Violence. See ya later punk ass
Be glad when Boss Hog is gone! Take Cletus and Roscoe with you!
"Not sure what part of ILLEGAL people don't understand"? What part of we DO understand illegal, do you not understand? We want a Sheriff who understands what is illegal, and wants to be in law enforcement and no show business. Is that hard for Arpaio supporters to understand? Is that the best defense you can give him for all his malfeasance? Okay then.
Not sure what part of civil rights violations YOU don't understand pal! Yeah the illegals should be deported. Sure they don't belong here. But ignoring civil rights issues and abusing power in the United States shows that Apario and Thomas don't understand the laws nor do they respect the rights of Americans who are already here legally. Good bye and good riddance to the Tyrant Apraio and his henchmen!
Arpaio cheerleaders- here's a question: What part of "understand" do you not understand? When those who want complete and capable law enforcement without all of the lawsuits that other law enforcement agencies don't have say they don't support illegal immigration- why do you keep asking?
Is there no evidence to bolster Arpaio's position that his actions are justified when he investigates those who express concern about his job performance? Is there no way to show that he's not being a hypocrite when he uses taxpayer-funded resources to investigate and intimidate those who question him, then accuses those investigating his civil rights and abuse of power violations of political motivations?
Why doesn't anyone who says what a great job he's doing and how much money he's saving taxpayers ever back that up with facts and figures. Is it because he doesn't even know how much taxpayer money he spent on his latest publicity stunt? Propaganda is easy to spot. What his supporters post here almost universally meets the definition of propaganda. Don't insult our intelligence by expecting us to swallow it just because you, he, or someone else says so. The facts are available to those who aren't too lazy to find them. Of course, Arpaio prefers to attempt to destroy evidence of some of the facts. It's in the court record.
Looks like Simms must have blown a gasket, eh? Two deletions and several admonishments, including something about him spouting off about the Pres being an "n-word". None of us saw that coming, did we? Good riddance!
Go Get 'em Joe. I wish PJ here in Graham county had the guts to do the same.
It seems we Latinos don't get a break from the sheriff or Obama and
2 out of 3 of us voted for obama thinking he would get to immigration?
I guess the health bill and jobs are more important NOW that
he is IN OFFICE ! the Immigration bill is on the back burner and
We just keep getting screwed in this country every where we go. Is that why thousands are heading back to Mexico or going to Canada?
Thank you Mr. Barack Obama for tricking us into thinking you were
on OUR side....you're NOT...and we will remember this in the next
election if we are still able to make a living here then.
To Anonymous who had to use the F*ck word on this blog...
you obviously are a classless person ....
who needs to take a chill pill and get off this blog...
before you have a STROKE !
GO SHERIFF JOE !!! Keep up the Excellent Work....and
remember, we will keep voting you in as Sheriff, not gov !
Go JOE GO JOE GO JOE !
GO JOE
we LOVE LOVE LOVE what you're doing !
Arizona has far less Hispanics than California or Texas and
I would THINK Sheriff Joe is the MAIN reason for that....
and I personally want to THANK HIM for being our Sheriff.
Keep it up, Joe! You KNOW you have our support....it shows
everytime you get re-elected !
Goodbye fatso! Can't wait to see your fat disappointed face when the federal indictments are handed down in a couple of weeks. The fat little smirk is going to get whipped right off. I am sure some nice enemies will get you when you are at club fed!
Keep up the great work Joe, fighting against the oxymoron agenda from Washington! We will win the war!!!!!
sheriff joe cant do anymore than what the people and leader allow him to do he's just doing his damn job what he's told to do and taking the hit and punching along the way why the real coward stand behind him and let him get abused this is what politician leaders does for century! the sheriff is a good man and love his job and doing it 100% for us that want changes stop complaining and do something about it! BECAUSE WE PUT IN OFFICE WE CAN TAKE HIM OUT OF OFFICE! iF HE WAS DOING ANYTHING WRONG? RIGHT!
Great job,keep up the good work!!
Like it or not, Sheriff Joe is the only one in this county, state, country, who has the balls to enforce this law. We certainly know that Obama "will not" do anything and I am not sure John McCain will either, how many more police officers and now a rancher, will have to die. before you get the message, allow those that come into this country legally, but not those that come in illegally.
Sheriff Joe is the BEST thing to happen to AZ in years. McCain has done nothing to help us but Joe sure has. You go Sheriff Joe.
At least MCCain would've saved YOUR tax dollars by NOT traveling
abroad to get the Olympics in Chicago or by not building a Basketball
court in the White HOUSE.
And he MIGHT have spent more time helping YOU keep your homes and
get your GOOD JOBS.
BUT, that's just a hunch...as he's at least run something in his life,
UN-like the Muslim president you voted in...who took away the national
day of prayer..
and bailed out all the big banks, auto companies, etc.
Basically he bailed out all the big companies for the people who
have stocks in it (his supporters) and I ask you again..
what has he done for you?
At least, Sheriff Joe is working to keep Arizona from not
becoming a 'Wild Wild West' (again) or Mexico (where people get
killed or kidnapped (if they're lucky) ).
Get Smart People...this is YOUR life !
Are you kidding Me with your 'not sure John McCain will either' comment?
All you young ignorant Dems should read about what John MCcain did for
your country while a prisoner. Do you even know?
John McCain is the MOST patriotic public servant in office right now !
How Dare you say something against this man who stayed in prison instead
of giving up information?
That is what is wrong with this country? You're all too young and
too ignorant to know what has been done, what should be done and
what is right for YOUR OWN GOOD?
How much does a sweep cost? How much does a war cost? This IS a war on our own turf. I'm grateful Sheriff Joe stands up for what he believes to be the right thing to do. Suspecting someone is an illegal is EXACTLY the same thing as suspecting someone is a criminal. Both situations need to be investigated.
This new law that is going to be passed is loooong overdue. What's the big deal about American Citizens with a hispanic heritage or any other heritage for that matter having to carry proof? When you drive a car, do you not have to carry "documentation" that you are a legal driver? It has nothing to do with profiling, it has to do with following the law. It also has absolutely nothing to do with a violation of civil rights. Civil rights are a privilege given to American Citizens. Nobody else in the United States has civil rights.
I know the sympathizers say "this person has been living here for 10, 20, 30 years. It's not fair to deport them" REALLY!!! If these people have been here for all those years and have made a better life for themselves, then why the hell didn't they file for citizenship? It's too hard? It takes too long? Wake up.... it's the legal thing to do.
They just want a better life. Hello.... so do the American Citizens living in poverty. We work for it, they steal it.
You have one person who's been committing a crime for untold years and another person who's been committing a crime for a few months. From a legal point of view, is there really a difference? NO a crime is a crime.
And for all of you out there born in the good old USA who have illegal parents.....You are American Citizens, You are AMERICAN not hispanic or whatever other nationality your parents are. If your parents told you your the same nationality as them, they lied. All those questionaires we all hate so much that ask "what nationality are you?" You Are American. Your heritage is the same as your parents NOT your nationality.
Sorry, that's one of my pet peeves. I hate American kids telling me I'm prejudice because they don't even know they're the same as me.
