Sued For Profiling: Sheriff Joe Arpaio Is Really Pissed Off - With Video
Never seen Sheriff Joe so freakin’ mad, but he is…and with good reason…
Man this pisses me off, as well. Joe Arpaio is a stand-up guy who ENFORCES the law, which so many of our elected and public officials fail to do. So he makes prisoners dress in pink, fuck ‘em, don’t do the crime if you can’t wear pink. Studies show certain colors “pacify” human behavior…guess what’s at the top of the list?
But this racial profiling thing….listen to what the Sheriff says some of these people are doing. Making pinatas of him and encouraging people to violence, all because he is enforcing laws that are in place that they, or someone they know, are violating.
I say “Go, Joe!” Kick-ass, take names, deport the illegals, and make the bad guys wear pink.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration and crime sweeps are being targeted in a lawsuit that alleged his officers have racially profiled countless Hispanics.
The attack on the sweeps alleged the officers based some traffic stops on the race of Hispanics who were in vehicles, had no probable cause to pull them over and made the stops so they could inquire about their immigration status.
“From what we have been hearing on the ground, (Arpaio) has been violating people’s civil rights left and right,” said Kristina Campbell, an attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, one of the groups pushing the allegations. The allegations were filed Wednesday as part of an existing lawsuit.
While Arpaio defends the sweeps in Phoenix, Guadalupe, Mesa and other cities as crime suppression efforts, he has been criticized heavily for conducting the crackdowns in heavily Hispanic areas and has fueled a backlash from some officials who consider the operations to be an unwanted intrusion into their communities.
Sheriff’s spokesman Capt. Paul Chagolla declined to comment on the lawsuit’s contents, but said the agency doesn’t racially profile people and that the sweep allegations were an attempt to refresh a civil case against the sheriff. “This is not a new lawsuit,” Chagolla said.
Allegations about the sweeps were added to a lawsuit, filed in December, that alleges a Mexican man in the country legally was unnecessarily detained by a deputy investigating the man’s immigration status.
Among Arizona’s local police bosses, Arpaio has taken the most aggressive approach to cracking down on illegal immigration. His efforts include creating a special immigration unit, arresting more than 1,000 illegal immigrants under a state smuggling law and setting up a hot line to report immigration violations.
The latest court filing alleged Arpaio, who has 160 patrol and jail officers trained in enforcing federal immigration law, has let deputies and posse volunteers perform immigration duties when they weren’t trained to do so.
The federal agency that gave the officers the special training has said the sheriff has stayed within the bounds of its training agreement.
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, who disapproved of the sweeps in Phoenix and has become Arpaio’s most prominent critic, has asked for a federal investigation of Arpaio for possible civil rights violations.
The U.S. Justice Department has declined to say whether it would investigate the sheriff.

July 18th, 2008 at 7:24 amIf you want to prevent profiling in the Latino and Hispanic community, stop protecting illegals! The pro-illegal immigration groups are the root of the problem. They act like these people have a divine right to be here with no accountability or respect for the law! It’s bullshit.
Here’s to you Sherriff Joe
Keep up the good work!
July 18th, 2008 at 7:28 amI got really excited when I first glanced at that picture. I thought code pink was jailed!
July 18th, 2008 at 7:31 amScrew them, how about raising hell about how Americans are treated in foreign countries? These pukes want to import foreign law to the US. Fine let’s start with follwoing Mexico on it’s immigration laws. Foreign workers have to carry the permits and their passport and other ID at all time, or risk arrest and jail, until it is convenient for the courts there to hear their cases, no bail.
And let’s get our jails in the same condition as Mexico, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, Syria, Ethiopia, Sudan, etc.
Once we do that, then the human rights stupid shits can all go to hell
July 18th, 2008 at 7:31 amI love this guy, he is clearly unwilling to cave in on this issue, and will stand for what is right, no matter what the cost. Regarding profiling, who the fuck is coming across the border from Mexico? White men? I think not. If immigration laws are enforced correctly, the result will be an overwhelming amount of hispanics behind bars. Fuck anyone who fails to understand and accept that very simple reality.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:37 amSo the ACLU who cannot lose a law suite is going to intimidate Sheriff Joe into not doing his job.When the ACLU brings up charges not only does the defendant pay for their own legal fees they also have to pay for the ACLU win or lose.Sheriff Joe best be ready for what has become the anal reaming that is our justice system.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:49 amThis guy should be President!
July 18th, 2008 at 8:37 amMayor Phil Gordon should be voted out of office. Sheriff Joe is the hero here. And why? It isn’t just because he is doing his job. It is because he gets results and makes all other left wing liberal parasites stand out that are not doing their job.
We cannot afford to let anyone break our immigration laws. We can’t afford them here. Elected peace officers are charged with enforcing all the laws. Sheriff Arpaio is simply doing his job legally and the left wing liberal lover give away artists do not like it. Screw them. Leave Sheriff Joe alone and let them do their job.
People who interfer with the Sheriff should be arrested for obstruction of justice. America needs a Sheriff Joe in every county in the US.
July 18th, 2008 at 8:38 amActually the ACLU has tried this before on Joe and lost big time, and guess what Joe and MCSO didn’t pay a dime lol! That’s one of the reasons they hate him so much the other is he isn’t afraid to arrest their ACLU ass’s and throw them in tent city like everyone else
Recently our Dike governor took all of his financing (1.6 mill) to try and slow his raids down and bring him under her thumb …. guess what a fund raising drive started up and now he not only has all of the funds he’ll ever need to do the job but also all of the equipment they will ever need too.
Every time these idiots try to box Joe in they loose and loose big time, GO Joe! The citizens have your back just do your job like you have been
July 18th, 2008 at 9:33 amYOU DONT NEED PROBABLE CAUSE TO PULL SOMEONE OVER!!!! You need reasonable suspicion. Probable Cause is for arrest, and “beyond a reasonable doubt” is for a conviction. Someone needs to watch “the gauntlet” with Clint Eastwood.
July 18th, 2008 at 10:05 amIf I didn’t already live here, I’d move to Arizona. More power to Sheriff Joe…and you don’t stop. I’d love to see some of the ACLU creeps in pink and living in conditions similar to our troops in Iraq, as he often says.(It could be 130 in those tents in the summertime.)
When I see Code Puke, I never feel calm!? Serenity would come from seeing them in Joe’s pinks.
-AZ Patriot- Represent! Obama’s dike VP! She’ll talk and bore our enemies to death.
July 18th, 2008 at 11:19 amI wonder why they NEVER mention his sweeps in Fountain Hills? Fountain Hills is right next to Scottsdale and would be considered affluent white. Joe did arrest some illegals there because they were stupid enough to confront his deputies, yes that’s how bad it is. In fact one store owner threatened to spit in their food and I’m happy to say that prick was arrested. The majority of us want law and order back. Period. No more people driving without insurance let alone a licence. No more bosses taking advantage of peoples immigration status. No more identity theft. No more shooting and killing people and fleeing back to whatever god forsaking country they came from.
Also, why is it always Mexican-American and African-American? It would seem to me that they have no problem racially profiling themselves.
July 18th, 2008 at 11:53 amI hate liberal democrats so much that sometimes, just sometimes, I wish we were in a civil war and had the opportunity to purge ourselves of these parasitic, traitorous, leninist, anti-american, faggot cocksuckers.

July 18th, 2008 at 12:19 pmGO JOE! GO JOE! I am seriously thinking of moving to his county just to have a place where criminals are actually prosecuted. Here in San Diego the criminals have all the rights and the good citizens are taken advantage of!
July 18th, 2008 at 1:18 pmI wonder how many illegal immigrants register and vote? I’m sure there are many and I would give you a guess as to what party they vote for.
July 18th, 2008 at 2:03 pmMexico is at war with the US. They are attempting to take over by invasion and intimation. Open war is not far off.
July 18th, 2008 at 2:27 pmDamn any chance of him coming to Milwaukee county and running this bullshit place i work named the House of Correction I mean the house of corruption. Way to go Sheriff keep up the good work and keep these idiots out of here.
July 18th, 2008 at 8:21 pmA Sheriff Joe is needed all throughout this country. Damned ACLU and minority-view libs are trying to destroy this country from within.
I second the idea of adopting South American immigration laws. I’ve spoken before about the double-standard Mexico has about illegal immigration issues in this country.
Fuck them. Best way to hit illegals is to hit the employers for tax evasion and failing to abide by our current legal immigrant laws on hiring.
Mexico is turning into one large drug cartel. If we don’t patrol and fence our border, they’ll bring that shit here. Heck, they are already infiltrating the SE.
Mexico is a corrupted pathetic third-world country. If they’re so good at handling immigration, then go try that shit in Mexico.
It’s more about La Raza and Alcatel than anything else. It ain’t Sheriff Joe as much as it is Reconquista.
Time for a war with Mexico and throw out the Reconquistas. Send them back to their corrupt paradise in Mexico or wherever.
