DOJ Breaks Off Negotiations With Defiant Sheriff Joe Arpaio
ABC News ^ | 4/3/12 | Jason Ryan

Posted on 04/03/2012 7:55:46 PM PDT by Nachum

The Justice Department has cut off negotiations with Sheriff Joe Arpaio and officials with the Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff’s Office in its effort to install an independent monitor to rein in the unconstitutional tactics used by officers there. Arpaio, who calls himself “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” defied the Justice Department suggestion that it could sue the county and the sheriff’s office to force the issue. “I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected Sheriff and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government,”

when the lamestream questions sheriff joe about the DOJ suit, the Joe can respond with his birther criminal investigation facts and it will be “covered” by the lame media.

The sheriff’s department is using “unconstitutional tactics”? Really? Is that because they follow the law of the land and are ignoring JNap’s “unlawful presence waivers” for illegals?

Deputize us, Joe. A volunteer posse by the millions. But don't 'blame' us if we 'happen' to round up various federal thugs and bureaucrats in the course of a scheduled sweep for illegals (though similarities may apply). We'll just worry about how to tag 'em and where to release 'em later. But I bet they'd look purdy in those pink diapers you issue. Hee hee hee hee hee..............

But...but...but... Mr. Holder, we have been told that Hispanics were now classified as white people. Is he wrong for arresting white people for breaking the law?

I’m sooooo confused!!!

If Obozo sends in Federal Marshals, will Sheriff Joe’s men stand and likely die beside him? Would Sheriff Joe surrender to avoid blood shed, but also sacrifice our nation in doing so?

Maricopa County could go down as the first battle ground.

Hopefully, Obama and Holder will back down, but you know they want to punish the Sheriff for exposing all the Obama fraud.

If this keeps goin’ the way it’s goin’, we could see a “gunfight at the OK Corral” standoff.

Or something more...

Stand tall, Sheriff Joe!

Let me see if I have this straight.

President Obama unleashed an in-your-face intimidating attack on the Supreme Court over his precious ObamaCare the other day.

Now we have the Justice Department trying to embarrass and humiliate the good Arizona sheriff with the same in-your-face intimidating method that President Obama used to attack and embarrass the Supreme Court.

Am I leaving anything out?

You know, if He does not take his stand here, we are all lost! I for one will be willing to stand beside him (could be because I’m older and have less to lose)!

I’d say that if the decent people of his area aren’t willing to stand up for him then we have a much worse problem than we understand. It really may come down to this!

“Our local ABC station has removed all external identification that it is ABC from it’s satellite dishes and building. Perhaps they don’t want to participate in the coming interesting time.”

No kidding? They went completely un-branded from the outside view? Don’t they want to advertise who to contact if you have news?

Perhaps they are on a single-channel feed....

Or they see people readying the pitch forks.
