Arizona Sheriff Clarence Dupnik refuses to enforce state's new 'racist' immigration law
NY Daily News ^ | 29 April 2010 | Edgar Sandoval

"Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnick kept his mouth shut during the great Arizona debate on locking up undocumented aliens.

"Come August, when his 500 deputies become responsible for busting illegals, the sheriff's actions will speak louder than any words: His men will look the other way.

"'We are not immigration officials,' Dupnick vowed Thursday. 'We fight crime. The state put us in this position.'"

. . .

"Dupnick said he never joined the contentious debate over the controversial bill because he didn't expect Gov. Jan Brewer or state legislators to approve it.

"'This law, it's just irresponsible,' he said. 'It makes them [legislators] look like racists.'"

And if you watch the Megyn Kelly interview w/ the sheriff, at about 10 mins into the interview, he admits to having prior reports of death theats from this punk.

He tells her, a lawyer would advise him not to talk about those recent, pior reports, of death threats.

I LOVED how Megyn Kelly of Fox News handed this guy his jock-strap on national TV:

In his position...he has compromised a federal case by expressing his personal opinion as judge, jury, and executioner in the public square....over facts and evidence in a court of law.

For that reason alone he should resign or be removed by those who value the rule of law and hold accountable those who have the responsibility to enforce them without presumption or prejudice.

He has shown himself to be nothing less than a total unprofessional disgrace from the very beginning....by using his position of authority he has only exposed himself as nothing more than a political hack.

Everything in the media has turned into a reality show....for CNN and BSNBC....I guess that makes this guy the new Snooki.

Thanks for the response. I was away yesterday and could not follow the story except through the MSM.

How can a sheriff refuse to enforce a State law? Is he a law unto himself? The State, meaning the people of the State, passes a law, and he simply refuses to enforce it. And they wonder why citizens get angry? And then they ascribe all kinds of violence to us when we do get angry. Our vanilla news media and government officials are a joke.

I saw part of Megyn’s interview. She was terrific. But Dupnik appears mentally confused if he believes what he mutters or corrupt if he is following orders to promote this nonsense.

Abutting the Mexican border, a logical person would welcome this additional tool in ridding his county of a large portion of the transcient, felonious criminal element. But obviously he is an Obozo braindead moron, where politics is more important than doing the job he was elected to do.

Dupnik apparently forgot he wasn’t talking to the local liberal Tucson news media. His scripted little PC speech failed him in front of someone who is capable of asking something other than a soft-ball question. He actually seemed shocked that he would be treated so.
.
Did you see his eyes toward the end of the clip? He just wanted the heck outta there.

Perhaps. I don’t know all of the legal avenues that might be explored. But I believe that he needs to go, however that can be accomplished.
