APNewsBreak: Feds say Arpaio violated civil rights [DOJ Hit Piece]
AP ^

Posted on 12/15/2011 9:16:47 AM PST by greyfoxx39

The federal government issued a scathing report Thursday that outlines how Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office has committed a wide range of civil rights violations against Latinos

SNIP

The Justice Department's conclusions in the civil probe mark the federal government's harshest rebuke of a national political fixture who has risen to prominence for his immigration crackdowns and became coveted endorsement among candidates in the GOP presidential field.

SNIP

The report will require Arpaio to set up effective policies against discrimination, improve training and make other changes that would be monitored for compliance by a judge. Arpaio faces a Jan. 4 deadline for saying whether he wants to work out an agreement. If not, the federal government will sue him and let a judge decide the complaint.

Joe’s had a pretty good track record of winning suits against him. We’ll see what he does here. I’ve never seen such a thuggish, vengeful federal government as this one.

Apparently Federal laws don’t mean squat.

Hmmm....Arpaio begins to delve into Obama’s BC, and then “unexpectedly” charges pop up. Interesting....

Whatever evidence Arpaio’s team found on Obama’s lack of eligibility for the presidency must be accurate. Looks like Holder is trying to railroad Arpaio first.

I don’t think he is going to go quietly.

Hey dont worry our DOJ isn’t worried about voter fraud, illegal immigration .... As Holder said, what kind of country do we want to become? His answer, a corrupt racist thuggish hell hole.

Soon the federals will have the legal authority - on paper at least - for a midnight knock on the door and a car ride to oblivion for the revanchist Trotskyite wrecker and saboteur sheriff.

Interesting timing.

Sheriff Joes report on extensive investigation into Obama's background is due to be released in February.

The Republicans and conservative media need to mount campaign to get rid of Holder. He is a racist and abusing his powers . . not to mention incompetent in the first place.

So let’s have that ‘honest discussion about race” Let Holder be the centerpiece as the best example of racism and abuse of power

The DOJ says that Black Panther election interference is OK and insider trading by congress is OK, fake documents such as birth certificate and SSN are OK.....

But don't you dare cross our touchy feely liberal principals!

The “charges” include “damaging trust with the Hispanic community” some of the evil acts include daring to investigate if a citizen reported “merely” a large group of Hispamic men outside a job site.

Hey, let’s not use our eyes or follow any leads from citizens. After all the state only sits on teh Mexican border, how dare anyone assume some workers might be illegal. In America??? /s

No, the citizens have to somehow have access to the company’s records and every individual’s (non existent) documentation. Gee I bet that’s what the sherriff’s office checks. You think?

All this equals is, stop enforcing the law.

The Feds have been ‘after’ Arpaio for years. Now they might be re-doubling their effort due to his investigation of Obama’s ballot eligibility, I could see that. Chicken/Egg.

Let’s hope Sheriff Joe has a contingency plan for an occasion such as this. He had to know that if he started snooping around 0bama’s past, there would be trouble. Hopefully, he trusted at least three others to release whatever he found.

Not to worry. Holder will make a deal with him. Don’t release the information and Holder will drop the charges. Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to work?

Somebody needs to tell him that the only people he can lock up without a trial and throw away the key is white guys.
