There are too many people who think Sheriff Joe Arpaio walks on water. Horrifying. Thankfully, at long last, Arpaio is in trouble, deep, deep trouble, not just legally, but he’s probably going to loose the his bid for re-election, and may be sent to jail. Can’t happen soon enough.
The Department of Justice investigation is moving forward, lawsuits abound, and Arpaio is losing, found in contempt of court for violating the court’s injunction.
And on a parallel front, the Department of Justice is moving forward to document his many violations of the Constitution and federal law, and to shut him down, hold Maricopa County responsible, and that’s good. About time! Here are their links:
This guy needs to be OUT of office and thrown in jail. The magnitude of his racist and blatantly unconstitutional policies and actions has been exposed, and must stop — despite the court ordered injunction, he continues… Here’s hoping the judge does push for a criminal contempt case against Arpaio. And once he’s gone, the entire Sheriff’s Office needs to be rebuilt. Whew, that’s a big job.
