PHOENIX - For the first time since Congressional hearings into the ATF's controversial Fast and Furious case started, Arizona sheriffs on both sides of the political aisle are joining forces.
Six sheriffs from Pinal, Cochise, LaPaz, Mohave, Greenlee, and Yavapai counties spoke outside of the Arizona capitol building Friday, saying they feel betrayed by the federal government and the way the Fast and Furious case was handled.
"If there is anything the President should apologize for, it's this," said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, a Republican. He also said Attorney General Eric Holder should resign or be fired.
Although Republican Congressional leaders have been leading the investigations into the Department of Justice, Babeu said the dissatisfaction with the Fast and Furious case is not a partisan issue.
"This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is a public safety issue," he said.
"It's embarrassing to this country and me," said LaPaz County Sheriff Don Lowery. "I've spent fifty years in uniform, and it's embarrassing for me to stand before you and apologize for people that we elect."

Rick Perry's fault!
In my experience, when the boss (in this case Obama) uses these words, look for a new job quickly!
What about Sheriff Dipstick?
Can’t argue with you.
Usually that is the case but the only way Holder goes is if it has any effect on the O’s reelection run. Since few in the media think this is a real issue, that is killing 200 Mexican nationals and a US agent by the dumbest most corrupt investigative plan in US history, little will happen because Holder is as involnerable as that Mafia guy in the Godfather under the protection of a police captain (till Michael took them both out).
Boner and McConnell would be wise to take a hourly walk through Arlington so that spine and guts might rub off on the two eunuchs.
The Republican members of this Congress disgrace our nation with their gutless cowardice and, IMO, the Liberals in this Congress disgrace themselves, disgrace their families, disgrace our forefathers and disgrace our nation with their reprehensible, self-serving treason.
Congress critters need to go. Tired of their lies and do nothing for the people. Some need to be in jai cells.
I have made a request ABC15 to reveal Gliha’s political affiliation. I mean if political affiliations are that important, then I tink we are entitled to know.
I agree these racist fascist punks should get busted like the negro nazis they are, but the MSM allows them to get away with outlandish lies like saying the progressive tax does not exist. Goebbels enabled his nazis as well.
Nixon went down for Watergate because the media wanted it that way.
Also, the arrest of holder will give his Panther army reason to join the “occupy wall street” useful idiots.
I feel the tree of liberty is fixin’ to get watered because of the lack of a peaceful, legal solution to this mess.
Fast and Furious guns have turned up at 122 crime scenes in Mexico. There must be some international laws about arming organized crime syndicates in foreign countries.
“And just where was America’s Sheriff?
Conspicuously missing.
Was it because HE would not be the center of attention?
Probably.”
“Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a Republican, said as a former federal official himself, he was reserving judgment about Fast and Furious until all the findings are released.
“It’s my philosophy not to accuse a federal law enforcement agency until you have all the facts,” he said. “There may be a few problems within the organization, but we shouldn’t judge a federal organization I’m talking about the ATF now with some possible misdeeds.”
He added, “I am going to let the system take its course.”
Besides, is it really necessary for him to show up? Anyone with half a brain knows just how much he despises Napolitano, Obama, and D.C. They have done nothing but tangle since Napolitano was elected Governor of AZ. The Sheriff also supports S.B. 1070 and has done so publicly.
So he is a narcissist now because he has decided to wait until there is more evidence before deciding? I thought this is what all good cops do.

THIS GUY IS ONE OF US. HE IS INTERVIEWED OFTEN ON LOCAL CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO, AND HE PULLS NO PUNCHES
