This is not a hit piece by the network ABC. This is reporting by a local Arizona station ABC 15. If you go to their channel you will see that they have a very long record of exposing government corruption in Arizona. They’ve exposed many police abuses especially the recent one in Glendale where a man was shocked in his testicles by an abusive thug with a badge.
Overall I am also a fan of Arpaio. Regardless of my feelings for the sheriff it does not excuse abuses and it is responsible reporting on the part of this particular news station to talk about the costs involved with his terms as sheriff.
I recommend you check out the ABC 15 YouTube channel to get a better picture of their overall reporting. They’re actually a very good channel.

You got the wrong customer, pal.
